Looking at the legislation itself and it seems like enforcement of judicial warrants by ICE is still allowed. That's good, it wasn't in there when they proposed the bill.
Another thing about this bill is this clause

State and local participation in federal immigration enforcement programs also raises constitutional concerns, including the prospect that California residents could be detained in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, targeted on the basis of race or ethnicity in violation of the Equal Protection Clause, or denied access to education based on immigration status.

And that's totally a constitutional issue that has precedent.
Immigration is a federal issue. You bet your ass this is going to the Supreme Court.
