No Vigilantes Act' would require those doing immigration raids in California to identify themselves
Briefly

In Southern California, individuals in masks have been detaining Latino residents, prompting local and state officials to introduce Senate Bill 805, the No Vigilantes Act. This legislation seeks to ensure that those conducting law enforcement activity display their names and badge numbers, responding to concerns about impersonation by possible vigilantes. Since the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement that began on June 6, numerous raids have occurred, culminating in detentions across various locations without official identification from the raiders, raising alarms within affected communities.

Senate Bill 805 aims to enhance transparency by requiring anyone involved in law enforcement to show identification, addressing concerns about rampant vigilante activity targeting Latino residents.
