"ICE's recklessness creates chaos as agents run around with what are effectively ski masks and no identification, grabbing people, throwing them in unmarked vehicles, and disappearing them,"
"When law enforcement officers hide their identities, it destroys community trust."
"It's using an emotionally charged issue on a federal level to pass a bill that will only affect local peace officers,"
"In signing the laws Newsom is showing that he can stand up and fight, whether or not he has a chance of winning."
California passed several immigration-related laws that restrict federal immigration enforcement practices and expand protections for migrants. The Department of Homeland Security urged a veto of the mask bill, calling it "despicable." Some laws raise constitutional questions about the state's role in federal operations and may face federal lawsuits. Local law enforcement groups warned the bill will primarily affect local police and criticized using a federal issue to pass state measures. Critics cited concerns about federal agents operating without clear identification. Supporters said the laws are legally defensible and demonstrate political resolve despite enforcement challenges.
