California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill allowing undocumented students to work on public university campuses, citing legal risks and potential consequences for state employees.
In his veto message, Newsom emphasized the importance of legal clarity, stating that "it is critical that the courts address the legality of such a policy" before proceeding.
Leaders of California's public higher education systems voiced concerns about the bill's legal theory, which claimed states could hire undocumented students without violating federal law.
The UC system acknowledged the complexity of the situation, agreeing with the Governor's concerns that implementing this law could violate federal hiring restrictions for undocumented students.
