"Proponents said Senate Bill 747 is a first in the nation type of bill and it's called the No Kings Act, a reference to the nationwide demonstrations against President Donald Trump that have occurred throughout his second term that closes a loophole that allowed federal officers to be treated differently than state or local law enforcement for alleged constitutional violations."
"This bill stands for the basic proposition that no one, no one, is above the law. California is not going to let these thugs get away with it. We're not going to let them overrun our communities just because they think they can."
"It shouldn't be a surprise that Trump is enforcing our federal immigration laws. No one likes to see what's going on in Minnesota, and you want to make sure that doesn't happen here. Nobody on this floor wants that."
Three days after an ICU nurse was killed by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis, California senators advanced Senate Bill 747, dubbed the No Kings Act, to enable civil suits against federal immigration officers for alleged constitutional violations. The bill closes a loophole that treated federal officers differently from state and local law enforcement and was described by supporters as a first-in-the-nation measure. Supporters framed the bill as enforcing the principle that no one is above the law. Opponents criticized the effort as political and suggested altering California's sanctuary law instead.
