“In enshrining these new protections, it is important to note what the bill does not do,” Brown wrote. “This bill does not prevent or prohibit Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Department of Homeland Security from doing their own work in any way … nor does it prevent cooperation in deportation proceedings for anyone in state prison or for those in local jails.”

To anyone with a long memory of immigration history, Brown’s words should sound eerily familiar. They almost mirror the rhetoric of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy when advocating for the 1965 law that dramatically changed the structure of U.S. immigration policy.
"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” Kennedy said during debate on the Senate floor at the time. “It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

History has rendered a verdict on all three of Kennedy’s assurances: Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Brown will probably be gone before the true impact of SB 54 is realized. He won’t have to pay for his mistake; the people of California will.

I don't care if they want to leave U.S. but they do need to follow procedure for leaving.
