(The Center Square) – Gov. Gavin Newsom early Tuesday signed several bills to protect California’s immigrants, crack down on private jails and prisons, and keep U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers out of the state’s police departments.
The package of bills, 21 in all, were all authored by Democratic lawmakers this year. Newsom’s office said in a press release sent out early Tuesday that the bills were in response to the increased immigration enforcement crackdown by the Trump administration.
