People living in the country illegally could not be detained for deportation if they are arrested for a minor crime in California, under a bill passed Thursday by the state’s Assembly.

The measure from Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, would create a statewide standard for how local agencies should comply with a federal program requiring immigration status checks of anyone arrested.
