California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas has publicly opposed a federal proposal to build an ICE detention center in Gilroy, Santa Clara County. - Rivas stated, 'Our community is not a dumping ground for Trump’s heartless ICE machine.' - He has held multiple community meetings on immigration across California, including two on the Central Coast.
- Assembly Democrats passed laws last year to protect schools and hospitals from ICE enforcement. - Current legislative efforts aim to curb unlawful ICE actions targeting California workers and families.
The proposal has sparked strong political opposition, with Rivas vowing to continue fighting the plan.
