California state legislators passed a bill Friday that seeks to protect undocumented immigrants charged with relatively minor crimes from being deported.
The bill, by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, would prohibit local police from detaining anyone on an immigration hold if the person is not charged with or has not been convicted of a serious or violent crime.
