Wait 5 sec.

Credit: ABC 7 News Youtube screenshotCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has struck his latest blow in his war against the Trump Administration’s immigration policies. However, it may ultimately prove toothless considering his apparent lack of legal knowledge.As KCAL reported, Newsom signed a total of five bills aimed at hamstringing federal officials’ ability to carry out their duties, including rounding up dangerous illegal aliens. This makes California the first state to enact such legislation.The most provocative bill was the No Secret Police Act (SB 627), which will ban federal and local law enforcement, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from wearing face masks while on duty. These include neck gators, ski masks, and other facial coverings.Exemptions are made for undercover agents, medical masks such as N95 respirators, or tactical gear. Moreover, the law does not apply to state police.The bill goes into effect on Jan. 1 of next year.“We have the right to stand up and push back,” Newsom proclaimed during a press conference after signing the bills. “This is a disgrace, this is an outrage, what we have allowed to happen in this country.”WATCH:“We have a right to stand up and push back!” @GavinNewsom says @realDonaldTrump’s immigration enforcement has been like a “dystopian sci fi novel” with “masked men” carrying out orders. @CAgovernor is signing a bill to require federal immigration officials to unmask with… pic.twitter.com/AbPSdA4cl0— Elex Michaelson (@Elex_Michaelson) September 20, 2025Newsom also taunted ICE before he signed the bills.“To ICE… What are you afraid of?” Newsom said. “You’re gonna do enforcement? Provide an ID.”Harmeet Dhillion, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, mocked Newsom over the new law by noting that states have no jurisdiction over federal officials’ attire.In other words, this is nothing more than a pathetic publicity stunt by Newsom and his fellow state Democrats.“This is silly, and futile,” Dhillion wrote on X. “The state has no jurisdiction over the attire of federal law enforcement officials.”This is silly, and futile. The state has no jurisdiction over the attire of federal law enforcement officials. https://t.co/PcJIia1WgH— AAGHarmeetDhillon (@AAGDhillon) September 20, 2025Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli also scoffed at Newsom’s grandstanding and said he had directed federal agencies to ignore the stupid laws. He also asked if California would force Antifa thugs to abide by the same standards.“The State of California has no jurisdiction over the federal government,” Essayli wrote on X. “If Newsom wants to regulate our agents, he must go through Congress.”“I’ve directed our federal agencies that the law signed today has no effect on our operations,” he continued. “Our agents will continue to protect their identities.”“When can we expect CA to pass a law banning Antifa members from wearing masks while committing state and federal crimes? I’ll wait…”The State of California has no jurisdiction over the federal government. If Newsom wants to regulate our agents, he must go through Congress.I’ve directed our federal agencies that the law signed today has no effect on our operations.
