CA candidate's plan to keep state tax dollars from ICE

(The Center Square) – Candidates in the race for California treasurer and a Democratic lawmaker reacted this week to a plan to keep state tax dollars from paying for federal immigration operations. State Sen. Anna Caballero, D-Merced County, announced a plan in recent weeks to keep California taxpayers' money from supporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state. The plan is part of Caballero’s platform as she runs for treasurer, according to her campaign website. Caballero’s “ICE Out Plan” keeps state bond money from supporting immigration raids, detention centers and other activities from ICE. The proposal also blocks the state from financing companies or organizations that are involved in immigration enforcement or detention, and the plan require those groups to follow the state’s sanctuary laws. The plan also keeps California from investing in companies that own or operate private detention centers, among other aims.
