Newsom signs laws to resist Trump's immigration crackdown; including ban on masks for ICE agents

Gavin Newsom today signed a set of bills meant to check the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown in California, including a first-in-the nation measure to prohibit officers from wearing masks and others that limit their access to schools and hospitals.
The new laws echo the “resistance” measures California adopted during the first administration, when it passed a so-called sanctuary law to limit local law enforcement from cooperating with immigration agents, among other policies.
“Immigrants have rights and we have the right to stand up and push back,” Newsom said at an event in Los Angeles where he signed the legislation.
President Trump promised a historic deportation effort and assault on sanctuary-style policies when he took office for the second time.
His administration criticized the state’s new immigration laws even before Newsom signed them.
