Newsom Signs Law Shielding California Courthouses from Immigration Arrests
Original: Newsom Signs SB 873 to Protect Access to California Courthouses from Immigration Arrests
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed SB 873, a bill limiting immigration arrests at or near state courthouses, aiming to protect access to the courts for everyone regardless of immigration status. The measure responds to concerns that federal immigration enforcement at courthouses deters witnesses, defendants and victims from attending legal proceedings. Supporters say it preserves due process and public safety; immigration policy in California remains a flashpoint.
Why now: Ongoing national debate over immigration enforcement reaching sensitive locations like courts.
