Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Won’t ICE try to abuse some loophole?
According to ICE and nearly every LE dept out there they all now commonly do undercover work. So they won't have to do a loophole, they can just say all their officers do undercover work so they have to cover. Unfortunately there is zero transparency for LE in this nation (thank your elected officials and judges) so they can say whatever the fuck they want and keep covering up.
Tldr; Newsoms bill is another feel good law that will have zero effect.
Well to be fair the law is interpreted and then administered by judges and prosecutors.
The police uphold the law to the best of their ability at least in theory. So technically speaking local law enforcement can begin arresting what would appear to be ice agents since they don't identify themselves and have no identification and wear masks. There's really no way for them to determine if they are ice agents or not they're just armed masked men.
The interagency turmoil though that would be epic.
Like being a federal employee and not subject to state laws? Nah
I'm completely playing devil's advocate here but all Republicans have to do is say a ice agent was identified and tracked down. And they'll be up in arms regardless if anything happens, most likely staged
They should be. They are the modern day Gestapo. Identify, track, and hang them just like we did at Nuremberg.
They will just wear masks and say “who will enforce that?”
