California faces a new multimillion-dollar deficit despite its enormous state budget. Newsom is disqualified from the presidential race.

  

The wife of California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has harshly criticized the U.S. Supreme Court following a ruling earlier this week upholding Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) ability to identify people in the country illegally.

The court ruled that ICE has greater legal authority to track, identify, and verify the immigration status of individuals under certain conditions, reinforcing federal authority over immigration enforcement in the face of potential state restrictions. According to the judges who issued the decision, the measure seeks to ensure effective immigration enforcement and allow for a more rapid response to violations of federal regulations.

The ruling comes amid a growing national debate about immigration, state sovereignty, and public safety, especially in states with more progressive policies like California, which maintains protection programs for undocumented immigrants.

The governor's wife, although she has not named her in most public statements, expressed concern about what she considers an excessive strengthening of federal authority at the expense of immigrant rights and state autonomy.

According to her statements, the Supreme Court's decision "ignores the reality of the communities that have made California a safe haven for immigrants and threatens to put at risk families who live and work legally in our state." Because for Democrats, even if it's not legal, illegal immigrants represent votes.

The Supreme Court's ruling represents a direct challenge to these policies, as it strengthens the federal government's ability to identify and act on individuals who are in the country illegally. For Democratic leaders, this could increase tension between state and federal immigration policy.

Legal experts point out that the Supreme Court's decision could have several consequences:

Facilitate the detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants in traditionally welcoming states like California.

Generate legal conflicts between state and federal authorities over jurisdiction over immigration enforcement.

Influence the national political debate on immigration in the face of future elections and federal policies.

For their part, proponents of the decision believe it strengthens national security and law enforcement by ensuring that ICE has adequate legal tools to fulfill its responsibilities.
