Sen. Alex Padilla emphasized that California has 'no obligation' to assist the federal government with mass deportations, reiterating the state's commitment to protecting its immigrant communities.
Padilla articulated a clear boundary: 'Let the federal government do the federal government's job, but have state and local officials do the state and local officials’ job.' This emphasizes California's stance on maintaining its own policies against federal immigration enforcement.
In response to Trump's immigration agenda, Padilla stated that California, with its pro-immigrant laws like SB 54, will continue resisting federal overreach, particularly regarding immigration enforcement.
Tom Homan, Trump's appointee for border control, suggested that governors should 'get out of the way,' threatening legal action against those obstructing the administration's deportation efforts.
