    The Democratic governor has publicly questioned whether the state has the authority to regulate federal law enforcement

    My guy - you’re just the governor; not a judge. You don’t have to do the fascists’ job for them.

      The quote:

      “We have a bill — we’re looking at the constitutionality of it,” Newsom said. “It appears we don’t have the legal authority for federal agents, but we do for other law enforcement authorities. There’s some amendments being made in the bill and our legal team’s looking at it.”

          Because he wants to run for president and basically doesn’t want to alienate anyone except the super die hard Trump supporters he couldn’t win anyway. For everything else he’s spineless and a career politician

          Yeah I feel like doing it and forcing the federal government to bring up a lawsuit would be worth the effort.

        I hear diy law enforcement is now ok. Just modify the bill to let any concerned citizen file suit. Let the gestapo deal with millions of pesky lawsuits
