A fuck ton more states should do this and include fire departments, sanitation, and water and waste management.

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!

From the article:
Farías’ bill comes on the heels of comments by Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Castro Valley, pledging to restrict ICE agents from all state jobs if elected governor. He also said he would take away the driver’s licenses of federal agents in the state who are working while covering their faces behind masks.
“Good luck walking to work, a—holes,” has become one of Swalwell’s go-to phrases during recent debates and townhalls.
OK that's kinda sick
How about they just say they will be arrested. 🤷
If warranted, I still believe in dew processing, but banning them from civil services just do it now.
What does that have to do with distilling condensation?
Due the Dew
You can't have dew due to you until you've paid your dues.
Wheeze the juice!
Was just thinking that! Call it a ban from society.
Make attainders great again
Sure. But also make their existence as miserable and difficult as possible.
Give them the back-breaking jobs on farms for $2 an hour that all the immigrants they abducted were doing.
Washington is doing the same, at least with law enforcement jobs. It would be nice to extend that to any state-funded job.
If you become a bootlicker be ok with not being allowed to participate in public service.
Public service is specifically engineered to encourage bootlickers and weed out independent thinking.
I was an employee of the department of homeland security for about 6 months back in 2023, and I was fired for invoking my Weingarten rights as a union member.
This is very specifically against the law on local and federal levels.
I told my union rep (AFGE local 1533) that my rights had been violated repeatedly. My rep told me "arbitrations are expensive" and that the union "will not pursue your grievances".
I wish an eye opening lose-your-income-and-housing on each and every person working for AFGE in any capacity.
Fuck them once for not having a spine, and fuck them twice for the thoughts and prayers email they sent me just days ago asking for donations in the name of Alex Pretti. Absolutely ghoulish behavior.
God that's shitty. You deserve better.
I don't know this person or the circumstances. But it feels like there may have been more to the story.
Farías’ bill doesn’t stop at law enforcement. It prohibits those employed by ICE since the start of Trump’s immigration crackdown to the end of his term from working across state public school systems.
...
Farías’ bill would extend the background check requirements to include an investigation of prior employment with ICE — along with employment at the Correction Departments in Alabama and Georgia from 2020 to Jan. 1, 2026.
...
Representatives for unions representing California law enforcement and teachers told the Chronicle they were not yet ready to weigh in on the bill.
Committee hearings for the bill have not yet been scheduled. The bill would need to pass both houses of California’s Legislature and win the signature of Gov. Gavin Newsom to become law.

That's it? Can't we just exile them from ever returning to Cali?
Illinois is also bringing a bill to do this
Lol they're too dumb to be either
National guard? Any public position?
Unless I missed it, they're taking about I.C.E., not the National Guard.
Or are you asking if former ICE agents would be able to join the National Guard?
Good, very good even.
I’m gonna have a moral dilemma at some point where we are putting former ice agents in concentration camps as they await trial and their death sentences. Imma feel a little bad about that. Oh well
Ban them from breathing air.
Do you have a history of terrorism?
"I don't mind the sexual predator next door, it's the ICE Ape living up the street that creeps me out."
