Existing law defines extortion as the obtaining of property from another, with consent, or the obtaining of an official act of a public officer, induced by a wrongful use of force or fear, or under color of official right. Existing law further provides that fear sufficient to constitute extortion may be induced by certain threats, including a threat to accuse the threatened individual, or his or her relative or family, of a crime. This bill would provide that a threat to report the immigration status or suspected immigration status of the threatened individual, or his or her relative or a member of his or her family, may also induce fear sufficient to constitute extortion. The bill would also specify that its provisions are intended to clarify existing law. By broadening the acts that constitute a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
