"I am committed to protecting the civil liberties and safety of all Californians, including the right to peacefully protest and the dignity of immigrant communities. The actions taken by the Trump Administration — targeting immigrant communities, inciting violence, and violating constitutional rights — are reprehensible and serve only to instill fear. California will take all necessary steps to defend our communities from this abuse of power. We will stand firm in upholding our democratic values, constitutional rights, and the role of state leadership in ensuring community safety and trust. I will continue to monitor developments closely."
