JOHN A. MENDEZ, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE I. INTRODUCTION Before this Court is the United States of America's ("Plaintiff" or "United States") Motion for a Preliminary Injunction ("Motion"). Plaintiff seeks an Order from this Court enjoining enforcement of certain provisions of three laws enacted by the State of California ("Defendant" or "California") through Assembly Bill 103 ("AB 103"), Assembly Bill 450 ("AB 450") and Senate Bill 54 ("SB 54"). Specifically, Plaintiff requests that this Court preliminarily enjoin the following provisions of California law: (1) California Government Code Section 12532 (as added by AB 103); (2) California Government Code Sections 7285.1 and 7285.2 and California Labor Code Sections 90.2 and 1019.2 as applied to private employers only (as added by AB 450); and (3) California Government Code Sections 7284.6(a)(1)(C), 7284.6(a)(1)(D), and 7284.6(a)(4) (as added by SB 54). Plaintiff claims that these statutes violate the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, Art. VI, cl.2, and are invalid. Compl., ECF No. 1, ¶¶ 61, 63 & 65. Plaintiff argues that federal law preempts each provision because, in the area of immigration enforcement, California "lacks the authority to intentionally interfere with private citizens' [and state and local employees'] ability to cooperate voluntarily with the United States or to comply with federal obligations." Motion for Preliminary Injunction ("Mot."), ECF No. 2-1, at 2. Plaintiff also contends that California "has no authority to target facilities holding federal detainees pursuant to a federal contract for an inspection scheme to review the 'due process' afforded during arrest and detention." Id. Accordingly, Plaintiff implores this Court to enjoin these state law provisions because they "stand as an obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress and are therefore preempted by federal law." Id. at 3 (citations omitted). Defendant vigorously opposes Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, see Opp'n, ECF No. 74, contending that these three state laws properly "allocate the use of limited law-enforcement resources, provide workplace protections, and protect the rights of [California's] residents." Id. at 1. Defendant further argues that these statutes "are consistent with applicable federal law and do not interfere with the federal government's responsibility over immigration." Id. Defendant claims that it "acted squarely within its constitutional authority when it enacted the law[s] [the United States seeks to enjoin] here[.]" Id. None of the state laws, according to Defendant, "conflict[ ] with federal law or undermine[ ] the federal government's authority or ability to undertake immigration enforcement and all are consistent with the legislative framework [of the immigration laws and regulations]." Id. This Motion presents unique and novel constitutional issues. The Court must answer the complicated question of where the United States' enumerated power over immigration ends and California's reserved police power begins. The Court must also resolve the issue of whether state sovereignty includes the power to forbid state agents and private citizens from voluntarily complying with a federal program. Plaintiff's Motion requires this Court to carefully examine the purposes and principles of the federalist system-a system, established by the Constitution, of dual sovereignty between the States and the Federal Government whose principal benefit may be "a check on abuses of government power." Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 458, 111 S.Ct. 2395, 115 L.Ed.2d 410 (1991). Deciding these critical issues requires this Court to determine the proper balance between the twin powers of California and the United States. The law is clear that so long as the Federal Government is acting within the powers granted to it under the Constitution, Congress may impose its will on the States. Id. at 460, 111 S.Ct. 2395. However, if Congress is going to preempt or interfere with the decision of the people of California, "it is incumbent upon [this Court] to be certain of [Congress's] intent before finding that federal law overrides" the constitutional balance of federal and state powers. Id. (citation omitted). If Congress intends to alter the usual constitutional balance between the States and Federal Government it must make its intention to do so unmistakably clear in the language of the statute.... Congress should make its intention clear and manifest if it intends to preempt the historic powers of [the State]. Id. at 460-61, 111 S.Ct. 2395 (quoting Atascadero State Hosp. v. Scanlon, 473 U.S. 234, 242, 105 S.Ct. 3142, 87 L.Ed.2d 171 (1985) ) (quotation marks omitted). Applying these well-established principles of law to the present Motion, and as explained in detail below, this Court finds that AB 103, SB 54, and the employee notice provision of AB 450 are permissible exercises of California's sovereign power. With respect to the other three challenged provisions of AB 450, the Court finds that California has impermissibly infringed on the sovereignty of the United States. Plaintiff's Motion is therefore denied in part and granted in part. II. Legal Standards A. Preliminary Injunction Standard Plaintiff moves the Court to enjoin enforcement of the challenged state laws. Before the Court can grant the requested relief, Plaintiff must establish-as to each challenged law-that it is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim, that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of the equities tips in its favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest. Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20, 129 S.Ct. 365, 172 L.Ed.2d 249 (2008). In the Ninth Circuit, an injunction may also be proper "if there is a likelihood of irreparable injury to plaintiff; there are serious questions going to the merits; the balance of hardships tips sharply in favor of the plaintiff; and the injunction is in the public interest." M.R. v. Dreyfus, 697 F.3d 706, 725 (9th Cir. 2012). Here, however, the nature of the requested relief increases Plaintiff's burden. An order enjoining the enforcement of state laws would alter the status quo and thus qualifies as a mandatory injunction. Tracy Rifle & Pistol LLC v. Harris, 118 F.Supp.3d 1182, 1194 (E.D. Cal. 2015). Plaintiff must establish that the law and facts clearly favor its position, not simply that it is likely to succeed on its claims. See Garcia v. Google, Inc., 786 F.3d 733, 740 (9th Cir. 2015). B. Supremacy Clause In the United States, "both the National and State Governments have elements of sovereignty the other is bound to respect." Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 398, 132 S.Ct. 2492, 183 L.Ed.2d 351 (2012). The Constitution establishes the balance between these sovereign powers and the Nation's dual structure. The Supremacy Clause declares that the "Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby[.]" U.S. Const. Art. VI, cl. 2. The Tenth Amendment limits the powers of the United States to those which the Constitution delegates, reserving the remaining powers to the States. U.S. Const. amend. X ("The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."). Thus, rather than wielding a plenary power to legislate, Congress may only enact legislation under those powers enumerated in the Constitution. See Murphy v. Nat'l Collegiate Athletic Ass'n, --- U.S. ----, 138 S.Ct. 1461, 1476, 200 L.Ed.2d 854 (2018) ("The Constitution confers on Congress not plenary legislative power but only certain enumerated powers."); United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598, 607, 120 S.Ct. 1740, 146 L.Ed.2d 658 (2000) ("Every law enacted by Congress must be based on one or more of its powers enumerated in the Constitution."). The United States' broad power over "the subject of immigration and the status of aliens" is undisputed. Arizona, 567 U.S. at 394, 132 S.Ct. 2492. "But the Court has never held that every state enactment which in any way deals with aliens is a regulation of immigration and thus per se pre-empted by this constitutional power, whether latent or exercised." DeCanas v. Bica, 424 U.S. 351, 355, 96 S.Ct. 933, 47 L.Ed.2d 43 (1976)superseded by statute on other grounds as recognized in Arizona, 567 U.S. at 404, 132 S.Ct. 2492. 1. Obstacle Preemption Where Congress has the power to enact legislation it has the power to preempt state law, even in areas traditionally regulated by the States. See Arizona, 567 U.S. at 399, 132 S.Ct. 2492 ; Gregory, 501 U.S. at 460, 111 S.Ct. 2395. Courts recognize three types of preemption: express preemption, field preemption, and conflict preemption. Plaintiff's preemption argument is primarily premised on the most enigmatic member of this doctrinal family, "obstacle" preemption-a species of conflict preemption. Conflict preemption is found in cases where it is physically impossible to comply with both federal and state regulations or in cases where the "challenged state law 'stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress.' " Arizona, 567 U.S. at 399-400, 132 S.Ct. 2492 (quoting Hines v. Davidowitz, 312 U.S. 52, 67, 61 S.Ct. 399, 85 L.Ed. 581 (1941) ). "What is a sufficient obstacle is a matter of judgment, to be informed by examining the federal statute as a whole and identifying its purpose and intended effects." Crosby v. Nat'l Foreign Trade Council, 530 U.S. 363, 373, 120 S.Ct. 2288, 147 L.Ed.2d 352 (2000). The Court must examine and consider the entire scheme of the federal statute, including those elements expressed and implied. Id."If the purpose of the act cannot otherwise be accomplished-if its operation within its chosen field else must be frustrated and its provisions be refused their natural effect-the state law must yield to the regulation of Congress within the sphere of its delegated power." Id. at 373, 120 S.Ct. 2288 (quoting Savage v. Jones, 225 U.S. 501, 533, 32 S.Ct. 715, 56 L.Ed. 1182 (1912) ). There is a strong presumption against preemption when Congress legislates in an area traditionally occupied by the States. Chinatown Neighborhood Ass'n v. Harris, 794 F.3d 1136, 1141 (9th Cir. 2015). The Court presumes " 'the historic police powers of the States' are not superseded 'unless that was the clear and manifest purpose of Congress.' " Arizona, 567 U.S. at 400, 132 S.Ct. 2492 (quoting Rice v. Santa Fe Elevator Corp., 331 U.S. 218, 230, 67 S.Ct. 1146, 91 L.Ed. 1447 (1947) ); see Rice, 331 U.S. at 230, 67 S.Ct. 1146 (When Congress legislates in a "field which the States have traditionally occupied[,] [ ] we start with the assumption that the historic police powers of the States were not to be superseded by the Federal Act unless that was the clear and manifest purpose of Congress."). Such purpose must be "unmistakably clear in the language of the statute," Gregory, 501 U.S. at 460, 111 S.Ct. 2395 (quoting Atascadero State Hosp. v. Scanlon, 473 U.S. 234, 105 S.Ct. 3142, 87 L.Ed.2d 171 (1985) ), as must the presence of an obstacle. Chinatown Neighborhood Ass'n, 794 F.3d at 1141 ("[T]he California statute cannot be set aside absent 'clear evidence' of a conflict."); see also Savage, 225 U.S. at 533, 32 S.Ct. 715 (1912) ("In other words, [the intent to supersede the State's exercise of its police power] is not to be implied unless the act of Congress, fairly interpreted, is in actual conflict with the law of the state."). "Mere possibility of inconvenience" is not a sufficient obstacle-the repugnance must be "so direct and positive that the two acts cannot be reconciled or consistently stand together." See Goldstein v. California, 412 U.S. 546, 554-55, 93 S.Ct. 2303, 37 L.Ed.2d 163 (1973) (quoting The Federalist No. 32, p. 243 (B. Wright ed. 1961) ); Kelly v. Washington ex rel. Foss Co., 302 U.S. 1, 10, 58 S.Ct. 87, 82 L.Ed. 3 (1937). The Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq., is "the comprehensive federal statutory scheme for regulation of immigration and naturalization." DeCanas, 424 U.S. at 353, 96 S.Ct. 933. Congress has amended and supplemented the scheme over the years by passing statutes like the Immigration Reform and Control Act ("IRCA") and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act ("IIRIRA" or "IIRAIRA"), among others. Plaintiff argues that the INA, as amended, preempts the state laws challenged in this case. Mot. at 2-3, 11-32. 2. Intergovernmental Immunity The Supremacy Clause gives rise to another doctrine restricting States' power: the doctrine of intergovernmental immunity. Under this line of precedent, a State may not regulate the United States directly or discriminate against the Federal Government or those with whom it deals. North Dakota v. United States, 495 U.S. 423, 435, 110 S.Ct. 1986, 109 L.Ed.2d 420 (1990) (plurality op.). "Since a regulation imposed on one who deals with the Government has as much potential to obstruct governmental functions as a regulation imposed on the Government itself, the Court has required that the regulation be one that is imposed on some basis unrelated to the object's status as a Government contractor or supplier, that is, that it be imposed equally on other similarly situated constituents of the State." North Dakota, 495 U.S. at 437-38, 110 S.Ct. 1986. The doctrine protects private entities and individuals even when the burdens imposed upon them are not then passed on to the Federal Government. See Davis v. Michigan Dep't of Treasury, 489 U.S. 803, 814-15, 817, 109 S.Ct. 1500, 103 L.Ed.2d 891 (1989) (finding a state tax system that favored state retirees over federal retirees violated intergovernmental immunity even though the tax arguably did not interfere with the Federal Government's ability to perform its governmental functions) (citing Phillips Chem. Co. v. Dumas Indep. Sch. Dist., 361 U.S. 376, 387, 80 S.Ct. 474, 4 L.Ed.2d 384 (1960) ). Though the doctrine finds its most comfortable repose in tax cases, courts have extended its reach to other contexts. See, e.g., North Dakota, 495 U.S. 423, 110 S.Ct. 1986 (analyzing North Dakota's liquor control regulations); Boeing Co. v. Movassaghi, 768 F.3d 832 (9th Cir. 2014) (analyzing a California law governing cleanup of a federal nuclear site); In re Nat'l Sec. Agency Telecomms. Records Litig., 633 F.Supp.2d 892 (N.D. Cal. 2007) (analyzing state investigations into telecommunication carriers that concerned the alleged disclosures of customer records to the NSA). A targeted regulation is not invalid simply because it distinguishes between the two sovereigns. "The State does not discriminate against the Federal Government and those with whom it deals unless it treats someone else better than it treats them." North Dakota, 495 U.S. at 437-38, 110 S.Ct. 1986 (quoting Washington v. United States, 460 U.S. 536, 544-545, 103 S.Ct. 1344, 75 L.Ed.2d 264 (1983) ). Accordingly, a regulation should not be struck down unless it burdens the Federal Government (or those dealing with the Federal Government) more so than it does others. North Dakota, 495 U.S. at 439, 110 S.Ct. 1986 (finding a regulatory regime that did not disfavor the Federal Government could not be considered to discriminate against it). Furthermore, a regulation will survive if significant differences between the two classes justify the burden. Davis, 489 U.S. at 815-17, 109 S.Ct. 1500. "The relevant inquiry is whether the inconsistent [ ] treatment is directly related to, and justified by, significant differences between the two classes." Id. at 816, 109 S.Ct. 1500 (citation and quotation marks omitted). C. Tenth Amendment The Tenth Amendment limits Congress's legislative authority to those powers enumerated in the Constitution. Absent from this list of powers "is the power to issue direct orders to the governments of the States." Murphy, 138 S.Ct. at 1476. Thus, in addition to erecting a higher wall against preemption, the Tenth Amendment restrains Congress's ability to impose its will upon the States directly. The Supreme Court's so-called "anticommandeering" doctrine recognizes this check on Congressional power. Congress may not directly compel States to enact a regulation or enforce a federal regulatory program, conscript state officers for such purpose, or prohibit a State from enacting laws. See New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144, 188, 112 S.Ct. 2408, 120 L.Ed.2d 120 (1992) ("The Federal Government may not compel the States to enact or administer a federal regulatory program."); Printz v. United States, 521 U.S. 898, 935, 117 S.Ct. 2365, 138 L.Ed.2d 914 (1997) ("Today we hold that Congress cannot circumvent that prohibition by conscripting the State's officers directly."); Murphy, 138 S.Ct. at 1478 ("The PASPA provision at issue here-prohibiting state authorization of sports gambling-violates the anticommandeering rule. That provision unequivocally dictates what a state legislature may and may not do."). Even requiring state officers to perform discrete, ministerial tasks violates the doctrine. Printz, 521 U.S. at 929-30, 117 S.Ct. 2365. The reasons behind the anticommandeering doctrine are several. See Murphy, 138 S.Ct. at 1477 (Part III-B). First, the rule reflects "the Constitution's structural protections of liberty." Printz, 521 U.S. at 921, 117 S.Ct. 2365. By balancing power between the sovereigns, it prevents the accumulation of excessive power and "reduce[s] the risk of tyranny and abuse from either front." Gregory, 501 U.S. at 458, 111 S.Ct. 2395. Second, the doctrine prevents Congress from passing the costs and burdens of implementing a federal program onto the States. Printz, 521 U.S. at 930, 117 S.Ct. 2365. Third, the doctrine promotes accountability; it ensures that blame for a federal program's burdens and defects falls on the responsible government. Id. ("And it will likely be the [state chief law enforcement officers], not some federal official, who will be blamed for any error (even one in the designated federal database) that causes a purchaser to be mistakenly rejected."). These reasons, among others, counsel that courts must adhere to the strictures of the rule even where a Congressional act serves important purposes, is most efficiently effectuated through state officers, or places a minimal burden upon the State. Id. at 932, 117 S.Ct. 2365. "It is the very principle of separate state sovereignty that such a law offends, and no comparative assessment of the various interests can overcome that fundamental defect." Id. III. OPINION A. Likelihood of Success on the Merits 1. Assembly Bill 103 Approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State on June 27, 2017, Assembly Bill 103 added Section 12532 to the California Government Code and directs the Attorney General to review and report on county, local, and private locked detention facilities in which noncitizens are housed or detained for purposes of civil immigration proceedings in California. Cal. Gov't Code § 12532. It directs the Attorney General to conduct a review of such facilities by March 1, 2019. Cal. Gov't Code § 12532(b). This review must include a review of the conditions of confinement, the standard of care and due process provided to the individuals housed or detained in the facilities, and the circumstances around their apprehension and transfer to the facility. Cal. Gov't Code § 12532(b)(1). Additionally-by the same deadline-the Attorney General must provide a comprehensive report of his findings to the Legislature, the Governor, and the public. Cal. Gov't Code § 12532(b)(2). In furtherance of this objective, the Attorney General "shall be provided all necessary access for the observations necessary to effectuate [these] reviews ..., including, but not limited to, access to detainees, officials, personnel, and records." Cal. Gov't Code § 12532(c). Plaintiff argues that this review and reporting requirement interferes with the Federal Government's exclusive authority in the area of immigrant detention. Mot. at 18-19. Because the decision whether to pursue removal is entrusted to the Federal Government's discretion, California's efforts to assess the process afforded to immigrant detainees poses an obstacle, Plaintiff contends, to administering the federal immigration scheme. Id. at 19-20. "Federal law," it argues, "does not contemplate any role for the facility itself, or for states and localities, in determining which aliens are properly subject to detention or the terms and conditions of that detention."Id. at 18. Defendant responds that the Legislature passed AB 103 in reaction to growing concerns of egregious conditions in facilities housing civil detainees. Opp'n at 6 (citing Decl. of Holly Cooper and Def. RFJN, Exh. K (Office of Inspector General, Management Alert on Issues Requiring Immediate Action at the Theo Lacy Facility in Orange, California, OIG-17-43-MA, March 6, 2017) ). Several amici echo these concerns. See See Br. for Nat'l Health Law Program, et al., as Amici Curiae, ECF No. 104; Br. for Immigrant Legal Res. Ctr., et al., as Amici Curiae, ECF No. 126; Br. for Nat'l Immigr. Law Ctr., et al., as Amici Curiae, ECF No. 136. Defendant argues the review and reporting AB 103 requires fall well within the Attorney General's broad constitutional powers to enforce state laws and conduct investigations relating to subjects under his jurisdiction. Opp'n at 6 (citing Cal. Const. art. V, § 13 ; Cal. Gov't Code § 11180 ). Rather than enacting a new regulatory scheme or imposing substantive requirements, AB 103 "simply authorizes funding" to address issues the Attorney General already has the authority to review in response to increased concerns in this area. Id. at 7, 30; June 20, 2018, Hearing Transcript ("Trans."), ECF No. 189, at 25:2-13. The Court finds no indication in the cited portions of the INA that Congress intended for States to have no oversight over detention facilities operating within their borders. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(g)(1)-(2) ; 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(11). Indeed, the detention facility contracts Defendant provided to the Court expressly contemplate compliance with state and local law. Melton Decl., Exhs. M-S (filed under seal), ECF No. 81. These contracts demonstrate that California retains some authority over the detention facilities. Contrary to Plaintiff's characterization, AB 103's review process does not purport to give California a role in determining whether an immigrant should be detained or removed from the country. The directive contemplates increased transparency and a report that may serve as a baseline for future state or local action. At this point, what that future action might be is subject to speculation and conjecture. The review and reporting requirement contemplated in AB 103 is different from the state licensing requirements struck down in Leslie Miller and Gartrell. See Leslie Miller, Inc. v. Arkansas, 352 U.S. 187, 190, 77 S.Ct. 257, 1 L.Ed.2d 231 (1956) ; Gartrell Const. Inc. v. Aubry, 940 F.2d 437 (9th Cir. 1991). In Leslie Miller, the Supreme Court held that an Arkansas statute imposing licensing requirements on a federal contractor interfered with the federal government's power to select contractors and schedule construction, and therefore conflicted with the federal law regulating procurement. 352 U.S. at 190, 77 S.Ct. 257. Thirty-five years later, the Ninth Circuit upheld an injunction of a similar licensing requirement as applied to a federal contractor in California. Gartrell, 940 F.2d at 438. It found that the Federal Government already considered many of the factors involved in the State's licensing determination during its own "responsibility" determination and held that, under Leslie Miller, the licensing requirement was preempted. Id. at 438-41. The Circuit reasoned: "Because the federal government made a direct determination of Gartrell's responsibility, California may not exercise a power of review by requiring Gartrell to obtain state licenses." Id. at 441. Unlike state licensing regulations, AB 103 does not impose any substantive requirements upon detention facilities. For all its bark, the law has no real bite. It directs the Attorney General to channel an authority he already wields to an issue of recent State interest. The facility need only provide access for these reviews, which is of little or no consequence. Given the Attorney General's power to conduct investigations related to state law enforcement-a power which Plaintiff concedes, Trans. at 15:11-16:5-the Court does not find this directive in any way constitutes an obstacle to the federal government's enforcement of its immigration laws or detention scheme. There is, however, one federal regulation that might directly conflict with Government Code Section 12532(c). Under 8 C.F.R. § 236.6, no one-including state or local government entities or any privately operated detention facility-who obtains information relating to any detainee, "shall disclose or otherwise permit to be made public the name of, or other information relating to, such detainee." It continues: Such information shall be under the control of the Service and shall be subject to public disclosure only pursuant to the provisions of applicable federal laws, regulations and executive orders. Insofar as any documents or other records contain such information, such documents shall not be public records. This section applies to all persons and information identified or described in it, regardless of when such persons obtained such information, and applies to all requests for public disclosure of such information, including requests that are the subject of proceedings pending as of April 17, 2002. 8 C.F.R. § 236.6 (Information regarding detainees). According to Plaintiff, this regulation establishes that information regarding detainees belongs solely to the Federal Government and that facilities violate the regulation by turning such information over to the Attorney General. Mot. at 22; Reply at 9. For additional support, Plaintiff quotes the supplementary information published with the rule in the Federal Register, wherein the Immigration and Naturalization Service explained that "the rule guarantees that information regarding federal detainees will be released under a uniform federal scheme rather than the varying laws of the fifty states." 68 Fed. Reg. 4364, 4366 (Jan. 29, 2003). Defendant counters that there is no conflict because the regulation prohibits only the public disclosure of information about detainees, not disclosure to other government entities. Opp'n at 30-31. Because the Attorney General "conducts these reviews in his capacity as the chief law officer of the State," and "not as a member of the public," Defendant maintains there is no conflict. Id. Defendant points out that AB 103, on its face, does not provide for disclosure of detainee information to the public. Id. Further, such disclosure is unlikely because "much if not all" of the information in question remains confidential under state law. Id. The Court agrees with Defendant that there is no conflict apparent on the face of Section 12532(c). The federal regulation at issue is most naturally read to prohibit public disclosures of information, not the provision of information to other governmental entities or law enforcement. 8 C.F.R. § 236.6. The information published in the Federal Register supports this interpretation. 68 Fed. Reg. 4364, 4364 ("Summary: This final rule governs the public disclosure ... of the name and other information relating to any immigration detainee[.]"), 4365 ("These provisions plainly authorize the Attorney General ... to provide by regulation that persons housing INS detainees on behalf of the federal government shall not publicly disclose the names and other information regarding those detainees."), 4367 (" Executive Order 13132 [:] ... This rule merely pertains to the public disclosure of information concerning Service detainees .... In effect, the rule will relieve state or local government entities of responsibility for the public release of information relating to any immigration detainee being housed or otherwise maintained or provided service on behalf of the Service. Instead, the rule reserves that responsibility to the Service with regard to all Service detainees."). Plaintiff's cited cases do not broaden the scope of the rule; each case concerned public disclosure of detainee information, not the provision of information to another government entity. See Voces De La Frontera, Inc. v. Clarke, 373 Wis. 2d 348, 891 N.W.2d 803 (2017) (finding records concerning detainees statutorily exempt from disclosure under Wisconsin's public records law); Comm'r of Corr. v. Freedom of Info. Comm'n, 307 Conn. 53, 52 A.3d 636 (2012) (finding former detainee's records exempt from Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act); ACLU of New Jersey v. Cnty. of Hudson, 352 N.J. Super. 44, 799 A.2d 629 (2002) (finding § 236.6 preempts New Jersey's Right-to-Know Law to the extent it requires public disclosure of information regarding INS detainees). Plaintiff nevertheless contends that California's Attorney General is a member of the public as contemplated by the regulation. But Plaintiff did not identify, and the Court is unaware of, any judicial decision interpreting the regulation to restrict information sharing with government entities or law enforcement. The regulation contemplates that such information would fall into the hands of state and local government entities through their contractual relationships with the federal government. In light of the California Attorney General's role in state law enforcement, and without any authority to the contrary, the Court does not find a conflict, express or implied, between the access required under Government Code Section 12532(c) and 8 C.F.R. § 236.6. Finally, the Court finds AB 103 is not invalid under the doctrine of intergovernmental immunity. Plaintiff argues the law violates this doctrine because it imposes a review scheme on facilities contracting with the federal government, only. This characterization is valid. However, the burden placed upon the facilities is minimal and Plaintiff's evidence does not show otherwise. See Homan Decl. at ¶ 60 (summarily stating that the inspections are burdensome). Importantly, the review appears no more burdensome than reviews required under California Penal Code §§ 6030, 6031.1. Thus, even if AB 103 treats federal contractors differently than the State treats other detention facilities, Plaintiff has not shown the State treats other facilities better than those contractors. North Dakota, 495 U.S. at 437-38, 110 S.Ct. 1986 ("The State does not discriminate against the Federal Government and those with whom it deals unless it treats someone else better than it treats them."). Plaintiff is not likely to succeed on the merits of this claim. Its motion for a preliminary injunction as to AB 103 is denied. 2. Assembly Bill 450 The regulation of employment traditionally falls within the States' police power: States possess broad authority under their police powers to regulate the employment relationship to protect workers within the State. Child labor laws, minimum and other wage laws, laws affecting occupational health and safety, and workmen's compensation laws are only a few examples. DeCanas v. Bica, 424 U.S. 351, 356, 96 S.Ct. 933, 47 L.Ed.2d 43 (1976) (decision superseded by statute). AB 450 imposes various requirements on public and private employers with respect to immigration worksite enforcement actions. 2017 Cal. Stat., ch. 492 (A.B. 450). It prohibits employers from providing voluntary consent to an immigration enforcement agent to enter nonpublic areas of a place of labor or to access, review, or obtain the employer's employee records. Cal. Gov't Code §§ 7285.1, 7285.2. It requires employers to provide notice to their employees of any impending I-9 (or other employment record) inspection within 72 hours of receiving notice of that inspection. Cal. Lab. Code § 90.2. Lastly, AB 450 prohibits employers from reverifying the employment eligibility of current employees when not required by federal law. Cal. Lab. Code § 1019.2. As passed, AB 450 states that its provisions are severable. 2017 Cal. Stat., ch. 492, Sec. 6 (A.B. 450). Plaintiff challenges AB 450 as applied to private employers only, Compl. ¶¶ 35, 61, Trans. at 10:2-19, arguing that the above-noted additions to state law pose an obstacle to immigration enforcement objectives under the Immigration Reform and Control Act ("IRCA") and the INA. "Congress enacted IRCA as a comprehensive framework for 'combatting the employment of illegal aliens.' " Arizona, 567 U.S. at 404, 132 S.Ct. 2492. IRCA imposes criminal sanctions on employers who knowingly hire, recruit, refer, or continue to employ unauthorized workers, but does not impose criminal sanctions on employees. 8 U.S.C. § 1324a ; Arizona, 567 U.S. at 404-07, 132 S.Ct. 2492 ("The correct instruction to draw from the text, structure, and history of IRCA is that Congress decided it would be inappropriate to impose criminal penalties on aliens who seek or engage in unauthorized employment."). The statute authorizes the Attorney General to establish procedures for complaints and investigations. 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(e)(1). It also confers authority upon immigration officers and administrative law judges to be given "reasonable access to examine evidence of any person or entity being investigated" and to compel by subpoena the attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence. 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(e)(2). The Supreme Court has found IRCA preempts additional penalties on employers (via express preemption) and criminal sanctions on unauthorized workers for seeking or performing work (via conflict preemption). Arizona, 567 U.S. 387, 132 S.Ct. 2492. Courts have held IRCA does not preempt: a provision of Arizona law allowing suspension and revocation of businesses licenses based on employing unauthorized workers, Chamber of Commerce of U.S. v. Whiting, 563 U.S. 582, 131 S.Ct. 1968, 179 L.Ed.2d 1031 (2011) ; an Arizona law requiring that every employer verify the employment eligibility of hired employees through the E-Verify system, id. (as amended by IIRIRA); and various labor protections, with some limits on the damages an unlawfully employed immigrant is entitled to receive, see, e.g., Salas v. Sierra Chem. Co., 59 Cal.4th 407, 173 Cal.Rptr.3d 689, 327 P.3d 797 (2014) (holding the State's extension of employee protections to all workers regardless of immigration status is preempted only to the extent it authorizes lost pay awards for any period after an employer discovers the employee's ineligibility to work in the United States). a. Prohibitions on Consent The Court finds AB 450's prohibitions on consent, Cal. Gov't Code §§ 7285.1, 7285.2., troubling due to the precarious situation in which it places employers. Trans. at 92:9-18. Despite that concern, the question before the Court is limited to Plaintiff's Supremacy Clause claim and the relationship between the State and the Federal Government. Plaintiff's preemption argument rests on the notion that Congress presumed immigration enforcement officers could gain access to worksites by consent of the employer. Mot. at 11-13. Plaintiff contends the entire enforcement scheme is premised on this authority. Id. Defendant does not dispute that immigration enforcement agents could, prior to AB 450, gain access to nonpublic areas of a worksite through employer consent. In enacting AB 450, the state legislators acknowledged that immigration officers could do so under existing law. See Pl. Exh. J (Senate Judiciary Committee Report), ECF No. 171-10. But, Defendant argues, the entry and access provisions do not conflict with IRCA because "IRCA was not intended to diminish states' labor protections." Opp'n at 26. Because AB 450 permits entry and access pursuant to judicial warrant (or subpoena, for documents), or when otherwise required by federal law, Defendant claims the law does not deny the "reasonable access to examine evidence" required under IRCA. See 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(e)(2). The arguments are wanting on both sides. By attempting to narrow the Court's focus to the criminal penalties at issue under IRCA, Defendant fails to acknowledge that immigration enforcement officers might also seek to investigate civil violations of the immigration laws or pursue investigative activities outside of IRCA's provisions. As Plaintiff pointed out at the June 20, 2018, hearing on its Motion, Trans. at 114:20-115:11, IRCA added new sections to the already existing law governing immigration enforcement activities; Defendant did not address any of these other grants of power. Further, Defendant cites no authority for its proposition that AB 450's judicial warrant requirement and savings clause together constitute "reasonable access" under IRCA. Irrespective of the State's interest in protecting workers, the Court finds that the warrant requirement may impede immigration enforcement's investigation of employers or other matters within their authority to investigate. Even though these two subsections of AB 450 interfere with immigration enforcement's historical practices, the Court hesitates to find the statutes preempted. In preemption analysis, the Court presumes " 'the historic police powers of the States' are not superseded 'unless that was the clear and manifest purpose of Congress.' " Arizona, 567 U.S. at 400, 132 S.Ct. 2492. Laws governing labor relations and the workplace generally fall within the States' police powers. Congress has not expressly authorized immigration officers to enter places of labor upon employer consent, nor has Congress authorized immigration enforcement officers to wield authority coextensive with the Fourth Amendment. Although Plaintiff's cited cases show instances of immigration enforcement lawfully exercising its investigative authority in accordance with the Fourth Amendment, none of these cases establish that Congress has expressly or impliedly granted immigration enforcement agents such authority. See I.N.S. v. Delgado, 466 U.S. 210, 104 S.Ct. 1758, 80 L.Ed.2d 247 (1984) (noting that the federal immigration officers were lawfully present at a worksite because they obtained either a warrant or the employer's consent to their entry); Zepeda v. I.N.S., 753 F.2d 719, 725 (9th Cir. 1983) (explaining that Congress, by authorizing the INS "to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States" without a warrant, authorized the INS "to question aliens to the fullest extent permissible under the [F]ourth [A]mendment") (citing 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(1) ); Int'l Molders' & Allied Workers' Local Union No. 164 v. Nelson, 799 F.2d 547 (9th Cir. 1986) (striking part of an injunction order that required every INS warrant to "contain a specific description of each suspect to be questioned and be based on 'probable cause to believe that such person is an illegal alien' " because it misstated the standard for non-detentive questioning"). Nor do these cases show consent to be an essential pillar of the enforcement regime. Certainly, obstacle preemption may be "implied," but precedent counsels against reading Congressional "presumptions" or "assumptions" into the statutes without a more robust record than that presently before the Court. Ultimately, however, the Court need not resolve the preemption issue because Plaintiff is likely to succeed on its Supremacy Clause claim under the intergovernmental immunity doctrine. The doctrine applies in these circumstances even though the laws regulate employers and not the Federal Government directly. See Davis, 489 U.S. at 814, 817, 109 S.Ct. 1500 ; Phillips Chem. Co., 361 U.S. at 387, 80 S.Ct. 474 (holding that state taxes imposed on lessees of federal land were invalid where those taxes were more burdensome than taxes imposed on lessees of state land). For those employers who choose to allow immigration enforcement agents to enter or access documents, AB 450 imposes significant and escalating fines. See Cal. Gov't Code § 7285.1(b) (subjecting employers to a fine of $2,000 to $5,000 for a first violation and $5,000 to $10,000 for each subsequent violation); Cal. Gov't Code § 7285.2(b) (same). These fines inflict a burden on those employers who acquiesce in a federal investigation but not on those who do not. Defendant argues the application of the doctrine in these circumstances would expand its reach. It notes that the intergovernmental immunity cases evaluating indirect discrimination have typically concerned laws that imposed burdens on entities contracting with, or supplying something to, the Federal Government, thus "dealing" with the United States in an economic sense. Trans. at 93:1-95:6. The Court is not convinced that the term "deal" is circumscribed in the manner Defendant suggests. As in other intergovernmental immunity cases, the imposition of civil fines (like the imposition of taxes) turns on whether an employer chooses to work with federal immigration enforcement. These fines are a clear attempt to "meddl[e] with federal government activities indirectly by singling out for regulation those who deal with the government." See In re NSA, 633 F.Supp.2d at 903. The Court does not find Defendant's argument that the law is neutral convincing. Opp'n at 29 (arguing the law applies to "any person or entity seeking to enforce the civil immigration laws, whether federal, state, or local"). Given that immigration enforcement is the province of the Federal Government, it demands no stretch of reason to see that Government Code Sections 7285.1 and 7285.2, in effect, target the operations of federal immigration enforcement. The Court finds that a law which imposes monetary penalties on an employer solely because that employer voluntarily consents to federal immigration enforcement's entry into nonpublic areas of their place of business or access to their employment records impermissibly discriminates against those who choose to deal with the Federal Government. The law and facts clearly support Plaintiff's claim as to these two subsections and Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits. b. Notice Requirement AB 450 also added a provision to the California Labor Code requiring employers to provide notice to their employees "of any inspections of I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification forms or other employment records conducted by an immigration agency within 72 hours of receiving notice of the inspection." Cal. Lab. Code § 90.2(a)(1). It specifies the contents of the requisite notice and instructs employers to provide a copy of the inspection notice to any employee upon reasonable request. Id. § 90.2(a)(1)-(3). Labor Code Section 90.2 also requires employers to provide each current, affected employee with the results of the inspection within 72 hours of receipt, including any obligations of the employer and affected employee arising from the results. Id. § 90.2(b). The statute defines an "affected employee" as "an employee identified by the immigration agency inspection results to be an employee who may lack work authorization, or an employee whose work authorization documents have been identified by the immigration agency inspection to have deficiencies." Id. § 90.2(b)(2). Employers are subject to civil penalties for violations, except that the section "does not require a penalty to be imposed upon an employer or person who fails to provide notice to an employee at the express and specific direction or request of the federal government." Id. § 90.2(c). Plaintiff argues that this notice provision stands as an obstacle to the implementation of federal law by aiming to thwart immigration regulation. Reply at 5. "Obviously," it argues, investigations "will be less effective if the targets of the investigations are warned ahead of time and kept abreast of the status of the United States' enforcement efforts." Mot. at 17. This argument convolutes the purposes of IRCA enforcement actions. IRCA primarily imposes obligations and penalties on employers, not employees. See 8 U.S.C. § 1324a. The new California Labor Code section only requires employers to provide notice to employees if the employer itself has received notice of an impending inspection. The "targets" of the investigation have thus already been "warned." Pursuant to federal regulations, employers are to be given at least three business days' notice prior to an I-9 inspection. See 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(2)(ii). The state law merely extends this prior notice to employees. Given IRCA's focus on employers, the Court finds no indication-express or implied-that Congress intended for employees to be kept in the dark. The Court declines to adopt Plaintiff's cynical view of the law. As amici point out, notice provides employees with an opportunity to cure any deficiencies in their paperwork or employment eligibility. See Br. for Cal. Labor Fed'n, et al., as Amici Curiae, ECF No. 134. Federal law affords such a courtesy to employers; the Court does not view an extension of that courtesy to employees as an attempt to thwart IRCA's goals. The notice provision also does not violate the intergovernmental immunity doctrine. Unlike the prohibitions on consent, violations of this provision do not turn on the employer's choice to "deal with" (i.e., consent to) federal law enforcement. An employer is not punished for its choice to work with the Federal Government, but for its failure to communicate with its employees. This requirement does not readily fit into the contours of the intergovernmental immunity doctrine and application would stretch the doctrine beyond its borders. The Court thus finds no merit to Plaintiff's Supremacy Clause claim as to California Labor Code Section 90.2. Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction as to this subdivision of AB 450 is denied. c. Reverification Prohibition California Labor Code Section 1019.2 limits an employer's ability to reverify an employee's employment eligibility when not required by law: Except as otherwise required by federal law, a public or private employer, or a person acting on behalf of a public or private employer, shall not reverify the employment eligibility of a current employee at a time or in a manner not required by Section 1324a(b) of Title 8 of the United States Code. Cal. Lab. Code § 1019.2(a). An employer that violates this subsection is subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000. Id. § 1019.2(b)(1). The law should not be "interpreted, construed, or applied to restrict or limit an employer's compliance with a memorandum of understanding governing the use of the federal E-Verify system." Id. § 1019.2(c). Under IRCA, an employer faces liability for continuing to employ an immigrant in the United States knowing that the immigrant is (or has become) unauthorized with respect to such employment. 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(2). Plaintiff argues that this continuing obligation to avoid knowingly employing an unauthorized immigrant worker conflicts with California's prohibition on reverification. Mot. at 17-18 (citing New El Rey Sausage Co., Inc. v. I.N.S., 925 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991) ). Defendant responds that there is no obstacle because the state law contains an express savings clause for instances where reverification is required by federal law and does not limit an employer's compliance with a memorandum of understanding governing the use of the federal E-Verify system. Opp'n at 26-28. The Court finds Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits of this claim, with the caveat that a more complete evidentiary record could impact the Court's analysis at a later stage of this litigation. Neither party provided the Court with much information on how the verification system currently works in practice and how the new law does or does not change those practices. Based on a plain reading of the statutes, the prohibition on reverification appears to stand as an obstacle to the accomplishment of Congress's purpose in enacting IRCA. See Arizona, 567 U.S. at 399-400, 132 S.Ct. 2492. Congress could have chosen to tie employer liability to instances when an employer fails to verify employment eligibility when required to do so by federal law. Instead, Congress broadened liability to encompass situations when an employer knows one of its immigrant employees is or has become unauthorized to work and continues to employ them. In a single act, Congress premised criminal sanction on an employer's subjective knowledge and established a system through which employers could verify compliance with the law. As the Ninth Circuit explained in New El Rey Sausage Co.: The inclusion in the statute of section 1324a(b)'s verification system demonstrates that employers, far from being allowed to employ anyone except those whom the government had shown to be unauthorized, have an affirmative duty to determine that their employees are authorized. This verification is done through the inspection of documents. Notice that these documents are incorrect places the employer in the position it would have been if the alien had failed to produce the documents in the first place: it has failed to adequately ensure that the alien is authorized. 925 F.2d at 1158. Prohibiting employers from reverifying employment eligibility complicates the subjective element of the crime; e.g., could an employer who might otherwise be found to "know" that one of its employees lacks authorization find shelter behind the state law because it could not confirm its suspicion? The law frustrates the system of accountability that Congress designed. Based on the authority and evidence before the Court at this juncture, which clearly support Plaintiff's claim, the Court finds Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits of its Supremacy Clause claim against California Labor Code Section 1019.2(a). 3. Senate Bill 54 SB 54 added several subsections to the California Government Code. Plaintiff seeks to enjoin three of these subsections. The first two challenged by Plaintiff prohibit state law enforcement agencies from sharing certain information for immigration enforcement purposes: (a) California law enforcement agencies shall not: (1) Use agency or department moneys or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes, including any of the following: ... (C) Providing information regarding a person's release date or responding to requests for notification by providing release dates or other information unless that information is available to the public, or is in response to a notification request from immigration authorities in accordance with Section 7282.5. Responses are never required, but are permitted under this subdivision, provided that they do not violate any local law or policy. (D) Providing personal information, as defined in Section 1798.3 of the Civil Code, about an individual, including, but not limited to, the individual's home address or work address unless that information is available to the public. Cal. Gov't Code § 7284.6(a)(1)(C) & (D). Subsection (e) contains a savings clause expressly exempting the exchange of information pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§ 1373 and 1644. Cal. Gov't Code § 7284.6(e). Plaintiff also challenges the subsection limiting transfers of individuals to immigration authorities: (a) California law enforcement agencies shall not: ... (4) Transfer an individual to immigration authorities unless authorized by a judicial warrant or judicial probable cause determination, or in accordance with Section 7282.5. Cal. Gov't Code § 7284.6(a)(4). California Government Code Section 7282.5 defines the circumstances in which law enforcement officials have discretion to cooperate with immigration authorities as referenced in subparagraphs (a)(1)(C) and (a)(4) above, i.e., convictions for certain offenses. a. Direct Conflict with Section 1373 The primary, and most direct, conflict Plaintiff identifies is that between the information sharing provisions and 8 U.S.C. § 1373 (" Section 1373"). Section 1373(a) bars States from prohibiting, or in any way restricting, "any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual." (emphasis added). Arguing for a broad interpretation of the phrase "information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual," Plaintiff contends the prohibitions on sharing release dates and home and work addresses violates Section 1373. Defendant argues that Section 1373 is unconstitutional under the Supreme Court's recent holding in Murphy, 138 S.Ct. 1461 (2018) ; see Supp. Br., ECF No. 156. The Court in Murphy held that Congress cannot dictate what a state legislature may and may not do, "as if federal officers were installed in state legislative chambers and were armed with the authority to stop legislators from voting on any offending proposals." Id. at 1482. The decision clarified that the Court's anticommandeering precedent extends to prohibitions on state legislative action. Section 1373 does just what Murphy proscribes: it tells States they may not prohibit (i.e., through legislation) the sharing of information regarding immigration status with the INS or other government entities. Plaintiff argues that Murphy's holding-and the anticommandeering rule generally-does not reach statutes requiring information sharing between government entities. Reply at 17-22. Plaintiff points to a number of federal statutes that require States to convey information to the Federal Government. Reply at 19 n.14. For additional support, it cites Reno v. Condon for the principle that a regulation on States as the owners of databases does not violate the Tenth Amendment. Reply at 18; 528 U.S. 141, 120 S.Ct. 666, 145 L.Ed.2d 587 (2000). Plaintiff also notes that the Printz opinion distinguished federal laws regulating the provision of information to the federal government from regulations requiring forced participation of the States in administering a federal program. Reno v. Condon involved a constitutional challenge to the Driver's Privacy Protection Act ("DPPA"), which bars States from disclosing a driver's personal information without the driver's consent. 528 U.S. 141, 120 S.Ct. 666, 145 L.Ed.2d 587 (2000) ; see 18 U.S.C. § 2721(a) ("A State department of motor vehicles, and any officer, employee, or contractor thereof, shall not knowingly disclose or otherwise make available to any person or entity personal information ... about any individual obtained by the department in connection with a motor vehicle record[.]"). The Supreme Court held the provision does not run afoul of the Tenth Amendment: [T]he DPPA does not require the States in their sovereign capacity to regulate their own citizens. The DPPA regulates the States as the owners of data bases. It does not require the South Carolina Legislature to enact any laws or regulations, and it does not require state officials to assist in the enforcement of federal statutes regulating private individuals. We accordingly conclude that the DPPA is consistent with the constitutional principles enunciated in New York and Printz. Id. at 150, 120 S.Ct. 666. The Court rejected South Carolina's argument that the DPPA is unconstitutional for its exclusive regulation of the States, finding the Act to be generally applicable but not deciding whether general applicability is required to survive constitutional scrutiny. Id. Plaintiff's second source of support is dicta from Printz, 521 U.S. 898, 117 S.Ct. 2365 (1997). The Printz Court evaluated a federal statute that required state law enforcement officers to assist in administering a federal regulatory scheme. In describing the issues to be resolved, Justice Scalia wrote: The Government points to a number of federal statutes enacted within the past few decades that require the participation of state or local officials in implementing federal regulatory schemes.... [Some of these statutes], which require only the provision of information to the Federal Government, do not involve the precise issue before us here, which is the forced participation of the States' executive in the actual administration of a federal program. Id. at 918, 117 S.Ct. 2365. Justice Scalia expressly distinguished the laws under consideration in Printz from laws that require the provision of information to the Federal Government. Thus, Printz left open the question of whether required information sharing could constitute commandeering. Defendant would have this Court follow the lead of the district court in City of Philadelphia v. Sessions. No. 17-3894, 309 F.Supp.3d 289, 2018 WL 2725503 (E.D. Pa. June 6, 2018). That court rejected Plaintiff's same-or substantially similar-arguments and found Section 1373 unconstitutional under Murphy. Id. at 324-31, at *28-33. It held that "on their face, [ Section 1373(a) and (b) ] regulate state and local government entities and officials, which is fatal to their constitutionality under the Tenth Amendment." Id. at 329, at *32. The district court distinguished Reno, explaining that Reno did not involve a "statute that commanded state legislatures to enact or refrain from enacting state law." Id. (noting the Murphy Court's discussion of Reno ). It also refused to put much weight in the cited dicta from Printz, finding that Printz's holding supports the court's conclusion as to Section 1373. The Court finds the constitutionality of Section 1373 highly suspect. Like the district court in City of Philadelphia, the Court reads Section 1373 to dictate what states may and may not do, in contravention of the Tenth Amendment. The more critical question, however, is whether required information sharing constitutes commandeering at all. Printz left this question open. One view, which amici, the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, articulate, is that the context of the information sharing affects the commandeering inquiry. See Br. for Cal. P'ship to End Domestic Violence and the Coal. for Humane Immigrant Rights, as Amici Curiae, ECF No. 182. Amici argue "purely ministerial reporting requirements" might not constitute commandeering, but "forced information sharing, where it facilitates the on-the-ground, day-to-day administration of a federal program, runs afoul of the anti-commandeering rule." Id. at 7. They argue that "none of [the] examples [Plaintiff cites to show that Congress frequently calls on states to share relevant information] remotely resembles a system of state officers performing daily services for immigration agents." Id. at 8. The Court agrees-cautiously, because these other provisions were not heavily briefed-that the information sharing provisions cited in footnote 14 of Plaintiff's Reply do not appear to approximate the level of state and local law enforcement integration into federal immigration enforcement operations seen in this context. Whether the constitutionality of an information sharing requirement is absolute or whether it turns on how much the requirement effectively integrates state law enforcement into a federal regime is an interesting, and seemingly open, constitutional question that may prove dispositive in another case. Here, however, the Court need not reach a definitive answer because the Court finds no direct conflict between SB 54 and
