Newsom signs laws to shield California communities from immigration onslaught

California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025, at a signing ceremony in Los Angeles, Calif., during which five bills related to civil rights and protecting immigrants' due process were made law. The laws target mask wearing and other identity concealment by federal law enforcement, create new requirements for staff at schools and healthcare facilities to cooperate with immigration enforcement, and clarify that immigration data collected by health care workers is protected medical information. Another law created an alert system for schools when immigration enforcement is taking place on campus. (Gov. Gavin Newsom's Office via Bay City News)
GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM signed a slate of bills into law meant to protect Californians’ privacy, civil rights and due process amid an unprecedented use of federal law enforcement in the state.

The laws were passed as tension grows between the state and federal government on immigration enforcement, including the use of masked agents conducting operations without warrants; the targeting of courts, schools and hospitals for enforcement; and pressuring the state to share health data on immigrants.
 
“Our state is now the first in the nation to draw a clear line between legitimate law enforcement and secret police tactics,” said Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director of Prosecutors Alliance Action, which endorsed the bill. “This is a victory for transparency, accountability, and community trust.”

The five bills that were signed Saturday included measures to ban law enforcement at all levels of government from wearing certain types of masks and require officers and agents to clearly display their agency’s name and their own names or badge numbers.

Whenever I think of Gavin Newsom, I think of the end of the republic as it most assuredly will be if he is elected POTUS.

Starve the sanctuary states and cities of Federal funding.

Close all Federal facilities in California.  Transfer jobs and functions to other states.  Furlough all Federal employees in California.  This will deprive Cali state income tax that's withheld from Fed employee checks.

One of the few things limousine liberals love more than criminals is other people's money ... to redistribute to the criminals.

If Cali doesn't want to respect Federalism, they should not benefit from Federalism either.

Forgive my ignorance but doesn't the Supremacy Clause limits states ability to tell the Feds what to do?Ninth circus, er circuit will likely uphold and SCOTUS will overturn....  Funny how they don't require the protesters to unmask.........

Newscum and the democrats are desperate to keep the illegals numbers up in California for the Census so they can protect their seats, that is all they care about, citizens and legal immigrants be damned.

Dems and US Chamber of Commerce Globalist Republicans don't care about following laws.  Otherwise, there'd by no illegal aliens in the US.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 9th Circuit based rulings off 'International Humanitarian Laws'.

That is the bottom line, imho.
