  • California won't aid Trump's massive deportation plans because it legally can't, says senator - Alex Padilla says no 'state in the nation has a constitutional authority to impose federal immigration l

The article discusses California Senator Alex Padilla's stance on former President Donald Trump's proposed mass deportation plans. Padilla argues that California cannot legally assist in these plans due to state laws that protect immigrants. He highlights that Trump's policies, which include large-scale deportations, would require cooperation from state and local law enforcement, something California has moved away from through legislation like the California Values Act. This act limits state and local law enforcement's involvement in immigration enforcement. Padilla also criticizes the potential economic and social disruption these policies would cause, pointing out the contributions of immigrants to the state's economy and the impracticality of such a massive operation. He emphasizes that California's sanctuary state status and its commitment to immigrant rights would prevent it from aiding in Trump's deportation efforts.
