Gov. Newsom @governor.ca.gov your state prison system uses racial profiling to gamble w/ppl’s lives. You’ve turned over to ICE U.S. citizens, DV survivors; ppl who’ve earned release who want to give back.
P.S. free advice: stop trying to sound like Ben Shapiro. That interview was humiliating.

As i often say- there is MUCH that local and state elected officials can to do protect our communities from fed overreach - to mitigate the regressive disaster of trumpism- and to stand up for due process, and human rights.

Every single day, ICE’s abuses of power and violence spiral more and more out of control.
Despite the protections we’ve already passed in California, we need to do much more.
AB 1537 will close a troubling loophole in state law.
Let's get this bill passed ASAP! 4/

From widespread reports of ICE kidnappings to the killing of Renée Good, we’ve seen the devastating harm this rogue agency inflicts. We’re standing w/SF Supe Mahmood to support AB 1537, a critical state bill to protect Californians by preventing local & state law enforcement from
working for ICE.

Statewide coalition will champion bill
to ensure police, sheriffs can’t work side jobs for ICE
The ICE Out of CA Coalition, made up of over 30 organizations across the state, announced that it will sponsor AB 1537 by Asm. Isaac Bryan.
The bill would prohibit state and local law enforcement officers from working “side jobs” with ICE, CBP, DHS, or any other entities engaged in the arrest or detention of Californians, including private security companies which contract with ICE to carry out abductions.
The introduction of the legislation comes as ICE continues to violently terrorize, abduct and harm community members across the country and as the Trump admin. ramps up attempts to dramatically increase the number of deportation agents.
With recent advertising campaigns, ICE has directly sought to recruit police and sheriffs. AB 1537 will shine a light of public scrutiny on these attempts, requiring disclosure of any “offer of, request for, or attempt at secondary employment that involves assisting with or engaging in immigration enforcement” and ensuring such records are available to the public.
The coalition stated:
“ICE is desperately seeking more agents to abduct our neighbors and tear families apart and is actively trying to recruit police and sheriffs. Despite the protections we’ve passed in California, we need to do much more. And this bill addresses one serious loophole: nothing in state law prevents officers from working ‘side jobs’ as deportation agents. Asm. Bryan’s bill will provide urgently-needed transparency and set a commonsense statewide policy. We look forward to partnering with the Assemblymember to advance this crucial legislation ensuring law enforcement in California are prohibited from taking side-jobs as ICE agents.”
Asm. Bryan:
“If you take an oath to protect and serve communities in California, you should not be allowed to take a second job with ICE rooted in terrorizing those same communities. It’s time to close this loophole.”
🚨ICE has spent millions trying to recruit local police and sheriffs.
And right now, nothing in state law prevents local officers from taking “side jobs” as deportation agents.
AB 1537 by @isaacgbryan.bsky.social will CLOSE this loophole.
We’re proud to sponsor this important bill. 🧵

A peace officer shall report to their employing law enforcement agency any offer of, request for, or attempt at secondary employment that involves assisting with or engaging in immigration enforcement.
This bill will also shine a light of public scrutiny on ICE’s recruitment attempts. 4/

AB 1537 will set a common-sense standard across our state.
This bill would prohibit local officers from taking “side jobs” with ICE, CBP, DHS, or any other entity engaged in “civil immigration enforcement” - AKA abducting our neighbors.

The callousness on display in Minneapolis is not an isolated incident nor a symptom of dysfunction at DHS - it is the very nature of American immigration enforcement operating as designed.
