Gavin Newsom last Saturday signed a series of accounts Aimed at protecting undocumented immigrants in California from aggressive raids by President Donald Trump’s immigration agents.

Senate Bill 627Which would ban federal employees from wearing masks during their operations, they painted the most serious media coverage and a neglect response from the administration’s employees.

“What are you afraid of?” NEWSOM asked about federal agents during the Los Angeles signing event. “You will exit and perform – provide an ID card. Tell us which agency you represent. Provide us basic information that all local law enforcement authorities must provide.”

“We do not have to observe this garbage,” Trisha McLaughlin, Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Homeland Security, published on X.

Political sword jingle is just theatrical symbolism. NEWSOM received another national media attention to Calm his image as a chief resistor of the commander -in -chief, in apparent preparation for a presidential campaign in 2028.

Denying Newsom and the legislation, the Trump administration employees calm his political base that he is seriously falling into those who have entered the country illegally.

Newsom and all other critics of icy tactics are misled if they believe that federal officials will be arrested and persecuted for wearing masks after they enter into force on the SB 627. State and local authorities have no authority to arrest the US for official actions, as many as the Decisions of the Decision Shooted by the former Supreme Court of California in 1889 and since 1972, shooting the death of suspected drug dealer in Humbolt.

In 1859, former California Supreme Court judge David Terry argued with American senator David Broderick because of slavery and both Friendly friends arranged him with a duel in San Francisco, who left Broderic dead. Historians consider it the last remarkable match of the nation before the practice is out of law.

Thirty years later, Terry was involved in another feud, this time with the US Supreme Court Stephen Field and he made some threats to the life of the field. American Marshal David Nigel was Field’s bodyguard while traveling the state, holding court in different communities. Terry encountered the field at a Latrop station near a hundredth, and A struck field several times before Neagle shoots a fatal Terry.

Sheriff of San Joaquin County arrested Neagle for murder, but federal judges ordered his release. The case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which announced that A federal officer cannot be persecuted by state or local authorities while acting in the course of official duties.

This principle was re -tested in California after Dirk Dickenson, a suspected drug dealer, was Shot in the back by Federal Drug Agent Lloyd Clifton During an attack at the Rural House of Humbold County in 1972.

I played a minor role in the ensuing legal case because at that time I was the editor of Humboldt Times-Standard. One of my reporters accompanied the officers of the attack and was an eyewitness to the shooting.

Some historians consider Dickenson a first victim of the federal war against drugs. In a statement, Clifton said, “At that time, I thought it was necessary to prevent Dickenson’s escape.”

Local outrage at Dickenson’s death led to a Allegation of murder of a large jury of CliftonBut before he can be tried, a federal judge blocks production based on 19th A decision of the Supreme Court of the Century, including Marshal Nigel. A Later the Federal Court of Appeal agreedS

Therefore, no matter how many Californians can resent raids, government and local employees cannot tell federal agents not to wear masks.
