He dismissed arrests, such as that of a 4-year-old girl on life-saving medication in Bakersfield, as “collateral.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the federal agents are having to go into neighborhoods and find these violent felons to capture and report and prosecute … there are going to be collateral arrests in that, and that’s the state that Gov. Newsom and the Democratic leadership have created,” Jones told CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/tom-lackey-10\">Tom Lackey\u003c/a>, a Palmdale Republican who served in the California Highway Patrol for 28 years, said the sanctuary law “created all of this fear and chaos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we are seeing now is a situation where the supermajority has limited tools to manage immigration; creating a communication breakdown between local and federal law enforcement, and a vacuum that invites a heavier hand from Washington,” he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Madrid said blaming the tension all on the state’s sanctuary law is an “extraordinarily weak” argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If that were the case, this would have been a situation long before,” he said. “It is consciously deceptive in telling a very, very small part of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Madrid called the state’s sanctuary law a “patchwork” policy, he argued immigration is an issue entirely “on the doorstep of the federal government.” The Trump administration has missed opportunities to rein in the border, Madrid argued, noting Trump last year helped \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/politics/gop-senators-angry-trump-immigration-deal\">kill a bipartisan legislative deal\u003c/a> over border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What California has decided to do is to say: ‘Fine, if you are not going to control border security and … leave us as the largest border state in the country to deal with it, we are going to accommodate it. We are going to ingratiate people into the fabric of our culture, our politics and our economy,’” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Could support for troops cost Republicans?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Aligning with Trump has its perks. The president — the face of a growingly populist party — can galvanize Republican voters and help legislators cement their conservative base. Even as the president’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/poll-americans-disapprove-trumps-performance-republicans-manage-splits-rcna212585\">approval rating slips among Americans\u003c/a>, Republican voters continue to show strong support for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republicans could lose ground, especially among Latino voters, over Trump’s fierce crackdown on immigration and the protests, Madrid predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Latinos flocked toward Trump in 2024 despite the president’s promise of mass deportation, that threat is no longer “abstract” but “existential,” Madrid said. Moreover, more Americans are alarmed by Trump’s use of the military on its own people, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He so overplayed his hand on immigration crackdowns that it’s now about overreach and not about border security,” Madrid said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>For the record: A previous version of the story incorrectly stated that Los Angeles police officers killed Black activist Rodney King in 1992. They did not kill him but severely beat him.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/06/california-republicans-trump-military-los-angeles/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The riots were also far more violent, resulting in 63 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strickland argued that deaths have been avoided in Los Angeles only because Trump sent in the military, echoing the president’s \u003ca href=\"https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114670085083632579\">assertion\u003c/a> that the city otherwise would have burned to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you wait till 63 people die before you call them in?” Strickland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Blaming California’s sanctuary law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Republicans argued that Trump’s use of military force was necessary because of California’s 2017 sanctuary state law, which has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/18/714882333/federal-appeals-panel-upholds-california-sanctuary-state-law\">upheld in federal court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their logic goes like this: Had California police been more cooperative with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, federal agents wouldn’t have had to arrest immigrants in the streets, Californians wouldn’t have been so riled and Trump wouldn’t have had to deploy troops to protect those agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, local law enforcement can choose to alert federal immigration authorities about an upcoming release of an inmate if \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/01/california-sanctuary-state/\">they are convicted of violent felonies\u003c/a>.

He dismissed arrests, such as that of a 4-year-old girl on life-saving medication in Bakersfield, as “collateral.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the federal agents are having to go into neighborhoods and find these violent felons to capture and report and prosecute … there are going to be collateral arrests in that, and that’s the state that Gov. Newsom and the Democratic leadership have created,” Jones told CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/legislators/tom-lackey-10\">Tom Lackey\u003c/a>, a Palmdale Republican who served in the California Highway Patrol for 28 years, said the sanctuary law “created all of this fear and chaos.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we are seeing now is a situation where the supermajority has limited tools to manage immigration; creating a communication breakdown between local and federal law enforcement, and a vacuum that invites a heavier hand from Washington,” he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Madrid said blaming the tension all on the state’s sanctuary law is an “extraordinarily weak” argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If that were the case, this would have been a situation long before,” he said. “It is consciously deceptive in telling a very, very small part of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Madrid called the state’s sanctuary law a “patchwork” policy, he argued immigration is an issue entirely “on the doorstep of the federal government.” The Trump administration has missed opportunities to rein in the border, Madrid argued, noting Trump last year helped \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/politics/gop-senators-angry-trump-immigration-deal\">kill a bipartisan legislative deal\u003c/a> over border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What California has decided to do is to say: ‘Fine, if you are not going to control border security and … leave us as the largest border state in the country to deal with it, we are going to accommodate it. We are going to ingratiate people into the fabric of our culture, our politics and our economy,’” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Could support for troops cost Republicans?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Aligning with Trump has its perks. The president — the face of a growingly populist party — can galvanize Republican voters and help legislators cement their conservative base. Even as the president’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/poll-americans-disapprove-trumps-performance-republicans-manage-splits-rcna212585\">approval rating slips among Americans\u003c/a>, Republican voters continue to show strong support for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republicans could lose ground, especially among Latino voters, over Trump’s fierce crackdown on immigration and the protests, Madrid predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Latinos flocked toward Trump in 2024 despite the president’s promise of mass deportation, that threat is no longer “abstract” but “existential,” Madrid said. Moreover, more Americans are alarmed by Trump’s use of the military on its own people, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He so overplayed his hand on immigration crackdowns that it’s now about overreach and not about border security,” Madrid said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>For the record: A previous version of the story incorrectly stated that Los Angeles police officers killed Black activist Rodney King in 1992.

And it endangers lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Supervising Deputy Solicitor General Sam Harbourt, however, urged the court not to embrace what he framed as a “highly deferential, essentially unchecked view of authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have a problem with according the president some level of appropriate deference based upon his experience implementing federal law,” he said. “The problem as we see it is that there’s really nothing to defer to here, because … defendants made no attempt whatsoever to provide argument or evidence that they even contemplated more modest measures to the extreme response of calling in the National Guard and militarizing the situation.”[aside postID=news_12044570 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GETTYIMAGES-1243313067-KQED.jpg']But Bennett seemed wary of that argument. Even if he were to agree that the courts have the authority to review Trump’s decision, the judge asked, where in the law does it say that the courts should weigh whether the president considered lesser measures?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unusual for an appeals court to block a temporary restraining order, but the case poses extraordinary questions about executive power, national security and how and when military troops can police civilian communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s mobilization of the guard came after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043221/protesters-and-immigration-authorities-face-off-for-a-2nd-day-in-la-area-after-arrests\">protests broke out\u003c/a> in and around Los Angeles on June 6, in reaction to his administration’s increasingly aggressive deportation efforts. It marked the first time since the 1960s Civil Rights Movement that a president seized control of a state’s National Guard without consulting the state’s governor; in that case, President Lyndon B. Johnson commanded the troops to protect protesters marching in Alabama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In mobilizing the National Guard, Trump declared the immigration protests “a form of rebellion against the authority of the government.” He later called up \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043453/trump-mobilizes-marines-for-duty-in-los-angeles\">700 U.S. Marines\u003c/a> as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 9th Circuit panel has a number of options: It could affirm Breyer’s ruling, vacate it entirely, modify it, or delay a decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his 36-page ruling last week, Breyer concluded that the president did not follow procedures set out by Congress when he federalized the troops without telling Newsom, and that the president also erred by labeling the protests a rebellion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12043426\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12043426 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1491\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty-1536x1145.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

In the memo declaring the immigration protests a rebellion, the president did not name California or L.A., potentially leaving the door open to future deployment of troops in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s case is being supported by Democratic leaders in 22 other states, including 21 attorneys general and the Kansas governor, as well as a group of eight retired military officers. In a court filing, the group of four-star admirals and generals and former Army and Navy secretaries filed a brief in support of California’s position, arguing that deploying the National Guard and Marines “poses multiple risks to the core mission” of both branches and the troops’ well-being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They wrote that the deployment diverts the troops from their primary mission, that they are not trained to conduct domestic law enforcement operations and that the “use of federal military personnel in the context of law enforcement operations should be a last resort to avoid the politicization of the military, which inevitably erodes public trust, impacts recruitment and undermines troop morale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12043446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12043446\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">National Guard members stand guard near the metropolitan detention center Monday, June 9, 2025, in downtown Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Eric Thayer/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“A bedrock principle of American democracy is that our military is apolitical,” the brief states. “Particular caution is therefore necessary if the U.S. military is to be deployed domestically in the context of a politically charged situation. This is especially so in situations that involve political protests and citizens exercising their First Amendment rights, which members of the United States armed forces are sworn to uphold. It is essential that such deployments be a last resort, especially in the context of policing protests and other constitutionally protected speech and activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has also argued that using the National Guard for this purpose is hurting California by diverting the troops from important assignments, including fentanyl enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border and preventing and fighting wildfires. On Tuesday, the governor’s office said the guard’s firefighting force, normally made up of more than 300 members, has lost more than half of its team, just as “peak wildfire season” approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conversation on Substack shortly before the Tuesday hearing began, Newsom said democratic principles are at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[If] Donald Trump can unilaterally decide to militarize the streets of America — it happens to be in L.A., now, it will be in your city next,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear how the 9th Circuit will handle this case. Since the appeals court agreed to take the case, its decision could theoretically be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court by either party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, both sides will continue briefing the lower court on California’s request that Breyer go further and issue a preliminary injunction in the case. A hearing is scheduled for Friday on that request. Over the weekend, Breyer denied the White House’s motion to delay it, writing that it would be counterproductive and that the facts on the ground continue to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Johnson commanded the troops to protect protesters marching in Alabama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In mobilizing the National Guard, Trump declared the immigration protests “a form of rebellion against the authority of the government.” He later called up \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043453/trump-mobilizes-marines-for-duty-in-los-angeles\">700 U.S. Marines\u003c/a> as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 9th Circuit panel has a number of options: It could affirm Breyer’s ruling, vacate it entirely, modify it, or delay a decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his 36-page ruling last week, Breyer concluded that the president did not follow procedures set out by Congress when he federalized the troops without telling Newsom, and that the president also erred by labeling the protests a rebellion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12043426\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12043426 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1491\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/GavinNewsomRobBontaGetty-1536x1145.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

In the memo declaring the immigration protests a rebellion, the president did not name California or L.A., potentially leaving the door open to future deployment of troops in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s case is being supported by Democratic leaders in 22 other states, including 21 attorneys general and the Kansas governor, as well as a group of eight retired military officers. In a court filing, the group of four-star admirals and generals and former Army and Navy secretaries filed a brief in support of California’s position, arguing that deploying the National Guard and Marines “poses multiple risks to the core mission” of both branches and the troops’ well-being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They wrote that the deployment diverts the troops from their primary mission, that they are not trained to conduct domestic law enforcement operations and that the “use of federal military personnel in the context of law enforcement operations should be a last resort to avoid the politicization of the military, which inevitably erodes public trust, impacts recruitment and undermines troop morale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12043446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12043446\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/AP25160742848163-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">National Guard members stand guard near the metropolitan detention center Monday, June 9, 2025, in downtown Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Eric Thayer/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“A bedrock principle of American democracy is that our military is apolitical,” the brief states. “Particular caution is therefore necessary if the U.S. military is to be deployed domestically in the context of a politically charged situation. This is especially so in situations that involve political protests and citizens exercising their First Amendment rights, which members of the United States armed forces are sworn to uphold. It is essential that such deployments be a last resort, especially in the context of policing protests and other constitutionally protected speech and activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has also argued that using the National Guard for this purpose is hurting California by diverting the troops from important assignments, including fentanyl enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border and preventing and fighting wildfires. On Tuesday, the governor’s office said the guard’s firefighting force, normally made up of more than 300 members, has lost more than half of its team, just as “peak wildfire season” approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conversation on Substack shortly before the Tuesday hearing began, Newsom said democratic principles are at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[If] Donald Trump can unilaterally decide to militarize the streets of America — it happens to be in L.A., now, it will be in your city next,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear how the 9th Circuit will handle this case. Since the appeals court agreed to take the case, its decision could theoretically be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court by either party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, both sides will continue briefing the lower court on California’s request that Breyer go further and issue a preliminary injunction in the case. A hearing is scheduled for Friday on that request. Over the weekend, Breyer denied the White House’s motion to delay it, writing that it would be counterproductive and that the facts on the ground continue to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In construction, 41% of workers are immigrants and 14% are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the case of the Bay Area, a lot of that would be concentrated in industries that are really already struggling to find workers, especially in a post-COVID environment where we’re seeing sales tax revenue at an all-time low,” Raisz said. “We’re still struggling to recoup the pre-pandemic economic activity and foot traffic that we experienced before COVID hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to labor impacts, the study finds that the average undocumented immigrant pays $7,000 in state, local and federal taxes. Loss of tax revenue from mass deportations would cost local, state and federal budgets a combined $23 billion annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to a variety of data sources, the report drew on direct interviews with dozens of employers, workers, trade groups and elected officials. They urged continued advocacy to oppose mass deportation efforts, increased state protections and eventually federal reforms that would create pathways to citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be a lot of comprehensive immigration reform, and right now, we’re in a crisis moment, and how do we make sure that we don’t fall into a total state of disarray and destabilize all of our industries that keep the state, and frankly, the country, running,” Raisz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>As the Trump administration escalates its attacks on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/immigration\">immigrant communities\u003c/a> across the state, a bill introduced in Congress last week could prohibit immigration officials from posing as local law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the \u003ca href=\"https://velazquez.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/velazquez.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/police-not-ice-text.pdf\">bill\u003c/a>, officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection are barred from wearing clothing that bears the word police. State Rep. Mike Thompson, who co-authored the bill with Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-New York, said the goal of the legislation is to ease mistrust of local police among immigrant families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When immigrant communities see ‘police’ on an ICE individual’s uniform … it creates problems. It puts people at risk,” Thompson told KQED. “If there’s an immigrant who is a victim of a crime, they’re reluctant to report it. If the police are trying to question an immigrant that’s a witness to a crime, they’re reluctant to get involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the National Immigrant Justice Center, immigration enforcement will often introduce themselves as police officers even though they are not legally considered to be so. The resulting confusion can be detrimental to public safety, Thompson argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When people are unsure of whether a police officer is actually an immigration official, it sours the relationship between local law enforcement and the communities they’re supposed to serve, he said. By prohibiting ICE agents and other officials from wearing uniforms that say ‘police,’ the trust between police officers and community members can be rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12044042 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250129_UCBerkeleyRally_GC-44_qed.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tensions between state residents and immigration enforcement have grown over the last few weeks as President Donald Trump continues his calls for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024178/trumps-executive-orders-on-immigration-and-the-real-life-impacts-in-the-central-valley\">mass deportation\u003c/a> of undocumented people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When widespread protests against federal immigration raids broke out last week, Trump responded by deploying \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043453/trump-mobilizes-marines-for-duty-in-los-angeles\">thousands of National Guard troops and Marines\u003c/a> to Los Angeles. The result: fear, panic and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043920/judge-weighs-californias-lawsuit-over-trumps-troop-deployment-in-la\">lawsuit\u003c/a> filed by Gov. Gavin Newsom against Trump for what he alleges to be the president’s unconstitutional actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a judge ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by seizing the state’s National Guard without notifying the governor. Hours later, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision and scheduled a follow-up hearing for next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigrant communities live in fear of one day being deported and never seeing their family members again,” Velázquez said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we resist the threat of raids and mass deportations, it’s equally important to curb actions that fuel distrust between law enforcement and immigrant communities, like ICE agents posing as local police officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation has been introduced in Congress before. In 2022, Sen. Corey Booker, D-New Jersey, worked with Velázquez on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.booker.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/booker_re-introduces_bill_to_block_ice_cbp_officers_from_identifying_as_local_police.pdf\">bill\u003c/a> with language identical to Thompson and Velázquez’s. The most recent bill was introduced to the House of Representatives on June 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump “administration has squarely taken aim at immigrant communities,” Thompson said. “We need to build an interest in passing something like this, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/rpalmer\">\u003cem>Riley Palmer\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

State Rep. Mike Thompson, who co-authored the bill with Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-New York, said the goal of the legislation is to ease mistrust of local police among immigrant families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When immigrant communities see ‘police’ on an ICE individual’s uniform … it creates problems. It puts people at risk,” Thompson told KQED. “If there’s an immigrant who is a victim of a crime, they’re reluctant to report it. If the police are trying to question an immigrant that’s a witness to a crime, they’re reluctant to get involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The resulting confusion can be detrimental to public safety, Thompson argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When people are unsure of whether a police officer is actually an immigration official, it sours the relationship between local law enforcement and the communities they’re supposed to serve, he said. By prohibiting ICE agents and other officials from wearing uniforms that say ‘police,’ the trust between police officers and community members can be rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The result: fear, panic and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043920/judge-weighs-californias-lawsuit-over-trumps-troop-deployment-in-la\">lawsuit\u003c/a> filed by Gov. Gavin Newsom against Trump for what he alleges to be the president’s unconstitutional actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, a judge ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by seizing the state’s National Guard without notifying the governor. Hours later, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision and scheduled a follow-up hearing for next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigrant communities live in fear of one day being deported and never seeing their family members again,” Velázquez said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we resist the threat of raids and mass deportations, it’s equally important to curb actions that fuel distrust between law enforcement and immigrant communities, like ICE agents posing as local police officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation has been introduced in Congress before. In 2022, Sen. Corey Booker, D-New Jersey, worked with Velázquez on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.booker.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/booker_re-introduces_bill_to_block_ice_cbp_officers_from_identifying_as_local_police.pdf\">bill\u003c/a> with language identical to Thompson and Velázquez’s. The most recent bill was introduced to the House of Representatives on June 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump “administration has squarely taken aim at immigrant communities,” Thompson said. “We need to build an interest in passing something like this, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/rpalmer\">\u003cem>Riley Palmer\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
