Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom has reaffirmed his plan to veto Assembly Bill 15, which aims to restrict cooperation between the state prison system and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This marks Newsom's second veto of similar legislation, as he argues that California laws already ensure public safety by allowing the sharing of information about felony offenders with ICE. The Assemblymember who introduced the bill, Mike Gipson, has decided to withdraw it, stating he plans to propose a different piece of legislation. Since taking office, Newsom's administration has transferred over 10,500 inmates to ICE custody.
