Governor Gavin Newsom has responded to a recent Supreme Court decision that permits federal immigration officers to conduct suspicionless stops in California. The ruling, decided by a 6-3 majority, has drawn criticism from state leaders.
In his statement, Governor Newsom said:
“Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court majority just became the Grand Marshal for a parade of racial terror in Los Angeles. This isn’t about enforcing immigration laws — it’s about targeting Latinos and anyone who doesn’t look or sound like Stephen Miller’s idea of an American, including U.S. citizens and children, to deliberately harm California’s families and small businesses. Trump’s private police force now has a green light to come after your family — and every person is now a target — but we will continue fighting these abhorrent attacks on Californians.”
The decision allows federal authorities broader powers when conducting immigration enforcement activities within the state.
