California Governor Gavin Newsom will veto a Democrat-led bill that would expand CA's sanctuary state law by protecting convicted criminals in CA prisons from deportation. The bill would ban CA's prison system from notifying ICE about release dates, wouldn't allow responses to ICE's requests for information, and would restrict any transfers from CA prisons to ICE custody.

Some commenters are asking how this bill even came to be. That’s easy. California Democrats believe criminal illegal aliens take precedence over American citizens. It’s evil and insane but it is what it is.

California Democrats have a super-majority that is in no danger of being defeated. There’s nothing to keep their power or destructive impulses in check.

Commenters say Newsom isn’t rejecting this bill on principle.

Make no mistake, Newsom still values illegal aliens over his fellow American citizens. But, he has presidential aspirations for 2028. He knows signing this into law would drastically hurt his electability nationally.
