Newsom signs bills aimed at countering Trump immigration crackdown
KTLA ^ | September 20, 2025 | by: Angelique Brenes

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed five bills Saturday designed to push back against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies, a package of legislation he described as a defense of the state’s values of diversity and inclusion.

“There’s a word you’ve never heard uttered from the President of the United States’ lips, certainly not Stephen Miller,” Newsom said during the signing ceremony in downtown Los Angeles. “That’s pluralism. We practice pluralism. It’s a deep point of pride. Those values are under assault.”

Several of the new laws focus on public schools. One requires staff to notify students and parents when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are confirmed to be on campus. Another prohibits federal officers from entering a school without a judicial warrant and blocks schools from sharing students’ personal information.

Other measures extend protections beyond schools. One law requires federal agents, who may not be wearing official uniforms, to display some form of badge or identification. Another, set to take effect in January, bans local, state and federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty.

Federal officials immediately pushed back. Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a statement that “the State of California has no jurisdiction over the federal government,” adding, “If Newsom wants to regulate our agents, he must go through Congress. I’ve directed our federal agencies that the law signed today has no effect on our operations. Our agents will continue to protect their identities.”

Sorry Gavin, illegal aliens are a federal issue and your state is still part of the US. You and your state don't have a say in whether they can stay in the US or not.

Trump needs to send the FBI after Gruesome Newsom for aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders. Lock his butt up with his illegal alien voter pals.

Pluralism
Definition: More illegal immigrants who demand food, clothing, shelter, health care, education, and other benefits paid for by CA taxpayers.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Arizona immigration law

The Court correctly struck down portions of the Arizona law that ignored the federal system for regulating immigration.

If your state's priorities are at direct conflict with federal laws, policies, and regulations, you may certainly go it alone and on your own dime.

I explain it to my peers as parents with a household of four. One of the children take in a friend from elsewhere, expecting the family to add another room onto the house, feed, clothe, and provide Healthcare for the friend as well, yet expect the same level of support and maintenance for themselves when that is not possible. The group of four must reduce consumption by 25% in order to accommodate the added newcomer.

We’re having a good run, but the left is going to bring a catastrophe.

It’s a shame to watch. Many causes, but certainly leftism and the always corrupt democrat party have reached new depths.

Villains supporting an illegal invasion, drug cartels and the chicoms. Tragic.

They are clearly breaking the law and yet nothing happens. trump vented his frustration last Friday.

Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT

Americans who are paying attention realize that there hasn’t been anyone of substance charged, let alone arrested, tried, convicted, and jailed. President Trump knows this, too, and wants his top law enforcement officer to do what she was hired to do.

Uh, SB1070 was consistent with federal law and merely reflected what had been done in virtually all the Western states prior to agitation by the La Raza Racistas.

It was struck down by who? Kennedy and this gang: John Roberts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor.

The Bolshevik court, now deprived of two of its most politically correct gangsters.

What Newsom is doing is attempting to nullify federal law. What SB1070 did was mirror it. The law merely codified what had been standard practice by police in Arizona up through the late 1980s.

He should look up "George Wallace" and see how blocking blacks from school entrances went.

I wonder what ever happened to those RATholes who destroyed Teslas and the Tesla dealerships. All I’ve see are big mouths selling wolf tickets but afraid to do anything to the perps.

There are more than a few rat RINO's that help when they have to, they must take turns or negotiate who will get blamed for stopping legislation.
