flag California bans local sharing of immigrant vendors' data to shield them from federal raids, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

flag California has passed a law shielding immigrant sidewalk vendors from federal immigration enforcement by banning local governments from sharing their personal data—such as immigration status, Social Security numbers, or social media identifiers—without a court order. flag Signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the law takes effect January 1, 2026, and is part of a broader effort by Democratic-led states to create safe spaces by restricting access to sensitive information in schools, health care, and public services. flag These measures aim to counter President Trump’s intensified deportation campaign, which allows immigration arrests at sensitive locations. flag While California and other blue states expand protections, Republican-led states like Texas, Florida, and Arkansas have expanded cooperation with ICE through programs like 287(g). flag Over 100 immigration-related bills were introduced nationwide this year, reflecting deep political divisions on immigration policy.
