Overview

• Governor Gavin Newsom signed the package in Los Angeles, applying to ICE and other federal personnel operating in California.
• Agents must be clearly identifiable during enforcement actions, with a broad prohibition on face coverings.
• The law establishes protections for migrants in hospitals and schools after earlier federal exemptions for these sites were rescinded.
• Weeks of raids in Los Angeles and other cities, with videos of masked officers in unmarked vehicles, fueled alarm among civil- and human-rights groups.
• Newsom framed the step as protection from what he calls Trump's 'secret police,' and observers in Washington expect political and possibly legal pushback.
