California Shields Immigrant Vendors from Federal Scrutiny with New Privacy Law

Californias new privacy law protects immigrant vendors from federal scrutiny, particularly from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, amid ongoing concerns over deportation policies under Donald Trump.

• Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the privacy law to safeguard immigrant vendors selling food and merchandise from federal immigration actions, particularly targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
• This legislation follows Californias recent laws designed to protect students in schools and patients in health care facilities from President Donald Trumps immigration enforcement measures.
• The law aims to enhance privacy for local immigrant vendors, reflecting the Democratic Party (United States)s broader commitment to resisting deportation efforts and protecting vulnerable populations.
