New California law bans officers from using gloves that deliver electric shocks
- On Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of more than 20 bills expanding oversight of federal immigration enforcement, aiming to increase transparency and restrict tactics used by federal agents.
- Lawmakers crafted the legislation as the latest effort by Democratic-led California to counter President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement strategies since he took office last year.
- One new law bans law enforcement from using electric shock gloves, a tool Homeland Security recently contracted to purchase for nearly $17 million, while another imposes a 25% tax on private detention centers.
- Senator Scott Wiener authored the "No Kings Act," enabling residents to sue federal agents for alleged civil rights violations, while new regulations mandate local agencies disclose 911 calls from detention centers.
- Although California officials aim to strengthen immigrant protections, experts warn these state laws may face constitutional challenges under the Supremacy Clause, though the legislation reflects a broader trend among Democratic-led states.
