Unlikely, California is a "Sanctuary State" and essentially has no enforcement of state (or federal) laws governing "illegal" employment.

If anything, they consider it to be a good thing.

Even though California is much more lax on immigration, undocumented immigrants that work here still work "illegally". And I-9 Audits are conducted by ICE, not California.

Like SpicyLemonZest said, it sounds extremely unlikely that Uber and Lyft, being public, would risk filing fraudulent I-9s.

That is grossly untrue. Federal authorities can and do take enforcement actions in CA, they just won’t get support from the state or localities.

[SpicyLemonZest]

Sure, but I can't imagine Uber and Lyft would file fraudulent I-9s whether or not California cares.

Why would state enforce a federal employment requirement ?
