While the California Legislature passed the sweeping proposal-Assembly Bill 1896, known as the "Get the Feds Out" (GTFO) Act-with strong Democratic support, Newsom officially rejected it on October 1, 2026. i Union-Bulletin +1

What the Bill Attempted to Do
Introduced amid friction between state Democrats and federal immigration policies,
Assembly Bill 1896 sought to: (B Union-Bulletin
• Disqualify former federal immigration officers (including contractors) who participated in immigration enforcement during the current presidential term from being hired by local police or sheriff departments.
• Block these individuals from holding other city or county jobs, unless specifically approved to undergo a state basic training course. CalMatters +1

Why Newsom Vetoed It
In his veto message, Governor Newsom acknowledged opposition to aggressive federal immigration tactics but took issue with the broad, punitive nature of a total employment ban.
