"Newsom signed a flurry of bills over the weekend pushing back against the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, including a first-of-its-kind law prohibiting federal law enforcement and immigration officers from hiding their identities and barring agents from school campuses and healthcare facilities without a warrant or court order."
"The California Department of Education said that since spring 2025, impacts of immigration enforcement on California schools have included an incident in which a Los Angeles elementary school was sent into lockdown after federal agents set off flashbang grenades near the campus, another where agents urinated on a playground in broad daylight, and others where agents asked for direct contact with young children without a warrant or parent permission, or used school drop-off as an opportunity to detain parents."
Gavin Newsom signed legislation strengthening protections for California students and families from immigration enforcement activity on school campuses. The bills include a law prohibiting federal law enforcement and immigration officers from hiding their identities and barring agents from school campuses and healthcare facilities without a warrant or court order. The action follows presidential promises of mass deportations and the rescission of a 2011 policy that limited ICE access to sensitive locations. Schools across the state reassured families, designated campuses as safe havens, and reported incidents including flashbangs near a campus, agents urinating on a playground, and detentions at drop-off.
