Giải thích
California law (including Labor Code §244 and related statutes) makes it unlawful to retaliate against an employee for exercising protected rights by threatening to report or reporting immigration status to authorities. Such threats can lead to civil penalties and, for licensed professionals, potential business-license discipline. A worker's actual status does not legalize the coercion.
