Governor Newsom issues statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold racially motivated immigration arrests in Southern California

SACRAMENTO - Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's 6-3 majority ruling which allows federal immigration officers to conduct suspicionless stops in California.

Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court majority just became the Grand Marshal for a parade of racial terror in Los Angeles. This isn't about enforcing immigration laws - it's about targeting Latinos and anyone who doesn't look or sound like Stephen Miller's idea of an American, including U.S. citizens and children, to deliberately harm California's families and small businesses. Trump's private police force now has a green light to come after your family - and every person is now a target - but we will continue fighting these abhorrent attacks on Californians.
