Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez introduced AB 495, saying it will help immigrant families prepare for ICE raids and detentions. But attorney Nicole Pearson and other child advocates are sounding the alarm, calling it dangerous, overly broad, and a direct attack on parental rights.
In this episode, we break down:
What AB 495 really says and how it works
Why critics call it a “child trafficker’s dream”
The missing safeguards that could leave children vulnerable
How you can take action before this bill becomes law
