California expands privacy protections as Democratic-led states resist Trump's immigration agenda

(AP) — Immigrants selling food, flowers and other merchandise along the sidewalks of California will have new privacy protections intended to keep their identities secret from federal immigration agents.

The measure, signed into law this past week by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, comes on the heels of other recently enacted state laws meant to shield students in schools and patients at health care facilities from the reach of President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement actions.
 

Democratic-led states are adding laws resisting Trump even as he intensifies his deportation campaign by seeking to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities to reinforce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who are arresting people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

By contrast, some Republican-led states are requiring local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with ICE agents.

Perhaps the administration should cut a deal with immigrants who could be sent to other countries.  If they will go to California and not step foot out of the state until advised they can, they won't be deported.  If they are caught out of California, the African jungle will look like home for the rest of their lives.

California -- at least the southern 2/3 of it -- is lost to traditional America.
Possibly forever.

I don't see how it can be brought back "into the fold".
Demographics alone preclude this from happening.

Make it, say, 80% white again, and there MIGHT be a chance.
But without that, no way.

What to do with the place?

From where I live in Orange County I see it differently and as far as I am concerned it’s from the LA county line North, of course there are always islands of sanity in the mix.
