Newsom Signs Five Immigration Bills in Los Angeles, Banning Officers From Concealing Their Faces on Duty
On September 20, 2025, in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a package of five immigration bills covering schools, health care settings and law-enforcement identification, the California Legislative Asian Pacific Islander Caucus and the Latino Caucus announced that day, publishing the main points of the five measures.
The five bills are: AB 49, which restricts immigration enforcement officers from entering schools without a judicial warrant; SB 81, which prohibits health care provider entities from granting immigration enforcement access to nonpublic areas without a judicial warrant; SB 98, which requires schools to notify parents and staff when immigration enforcement officers are present on K-12 and college campuses; SB 627, which prohibits law enforcement officers from concealing their identities during operations; and SB 805, which requires a law enforcement officer operating in California to visibly display identification that includes their agency and either a name or badge number.
Assemblymember Mike Fong, chair of the Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus, said the caucus stood in strong solidarity with the Latino Caucus in celebrating the signing of the package, calling the new laws vital to protecting immigrant families, especially students, and thanking the governor for affirming California's values of inclusion and justice by signing the bills into law.
In an advisory issued the day before the signing, the governor's office said the signing event would take place in Los Angeles at about 11:30 a.m. on September 20, with legislative leaders and community members joining the governor.
