California Blocks Federal Immigration Agents | Spokane News

California lawmakers are taking bold steps to reshape local law enforcement’s relationship with federal immigration authorities, passing two major bills that could redefine public service in the state. One bill would bar former federal immigration agents from working for California agencies, citing concerns over civil rights violations and alleged racist directives from Washington. Another targets “moonlighting” officers who take on federal immigration roles on the side — a loophole lawmakers say could undermine state policies. Plus, California is poised to ban electric-shock gloves, directly challenging the federal government’s push to stockpile them, amid growing safety and accountability concerns. With Governor Newsom now reviewing these measures, California could become the first state to restrict former immigration agents and halt the use of controversial shock devices — setting a powerful precedent for states resisting federal enforcement mandates.
