1/ Dear Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

We’re calling you in.

To protect democracy, we need to UPHOLD due process for all who call CA home.
We need to embrace our shared humanity.

And we shouldn’t double down on rhetoric or policies that divide, dehumanize, and pave the way for abuses.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/podcasts/the-daily/newsom-trump-la-ice-protest.html But Mr. Newsom also said that California Democrats had criticized him for working with ICE, “which I’ve done over 10,500 times since I’ve been governor.” And he distanced himself from the policy of sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, which refuse to coordinate with federal immigration officials. Mr. Newsom pointed out that as mayor of San Francisco, in 2008, he enacted a policy that referred undocumented minors charged with felonies to federal immigration officials.

California voters have Trump resistance fatigue.

In a dual survey of the state's voters and political professionals, the electorate is strikingly more likely to want a détente with the White House.
California voters have Trump-resistance fatigue, poll finds
From taking on Trump to hot-button issues, voters writ large embraced a different approach — although Democrats are more ready to fight.

NEW: A trio of polls in California underscores a groundswell of SUPPORT for immigrants in California and strong OPPOSITION to mass deportations. Check out our statement and all the details ⬇️
Trio of polls underscores groundswell of support for immigrants in CA, strong opposition to mass deportations Newly released data from the Public Policy Institute of California, coupled with polling earlier this month conducted by Emerson College as well as a recent UC Irvine poll of voters in Orange County, paint a clear picture: California voters strongly favor state and local action to protect immigrant Californians from deportation and to keep families together, and they strongly oppose mass deportations. Among key findings in PPIC’s new polling data, released last night: “An overwhelming majority of adults (72%) and likely voters (70%) say that immigrants are a benefit to California.” (In February 2024, this figure stood at 60%, so today’s results represent a significant increase in support.) “About six in ten adults (63%) and likely voters (62%) favor the California state and local governments making their own policies and taking actions, separate from the federal government, to protect the legal rights of undocumented immigrants in California.” “About four in ten California adults worry some (23%) or a lot (20%) that someone they know could be deported. Latinos (64%), Californians who have a high school education only (56%), Democrats (54%), those age 35 or under (53%), and Los Angeles residents (53%) are most likely to worry about someone being deported.” Earlier this month, an Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill survey of California voters found: “A majority of voters (56%) think mass deportations of undocumented immigrants in California are a bad thing for California, while 44% think they are a good thing for the state.” Meanwhile, a UC Irvine OC Poll, released in January 2025, found (page 10): “President Trump has promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, but only one-third of OC residents agree. By contrast, almost 60 percent of residents would prefer an option for the undocumented to obtain legal status."

🚨 Our statement today: Sanctuary for ALL will triumph over Trump's vile lies.

To the administration's cruel attacks, our coalition will respond with strength, determination, and love for each and every person who calls the Golden State home. 1/
Statement: Sanctuary for all will triumph over Trump’s vile lies "Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that his administration will unleash a vicious wave of abuse and terror against our immigrant neighbors, based on a vile set of lies and distortions. Meanwhile, private prison corporations’ stock is skyrocketing as they stand ready to profit off of community members’ suffering. To these cruel attacks, our coalition will respond with strength, determination, and love for each and every person who calls the Golden State home. We will vigorously defend our state’s sanctuary policies, which provide essential protections against Trump’s abuses and benefit all Californians. California’s Sanctuary State Law and strong local policies have and will continue to make communities safer, and have and will continue to keep thousands upon thousands of families together. They are legally sound and morally necessary. It is clear that ICE and Border patrol will commit wanton racial profiling as well as demonizing Californians, including permanent residents, who served their time for convictions many decades ago and are a vital part of our communities. These community members are beloved parents, mentors, care-takers, neighbors, and leaders. We will spare no effort to uphold our shared humanity. In this moment, we need our leaders to take bold action that benefits all of us, not the billion dollar corporations that grow their profits the more families are separated."
