Silicon Valley lawmakers are introducing new bills to limit ICE operations, including taxing private detention centers, boosting oversight, and opening doors for lawsuits against federal agents. Assemblymember Alex Lees AB 1675 blocks state tax breaks for ICE contractors, while Representative Ro Khannas End ICE Abuse bill aims to cut ICE funding entirely. Advocates and locals are protesting ICE raids, with groups like Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network providing legal help. State Senator Scott Wieners No Kings Act allows people to sue ICE for damages, and San Joses city council backs a proposal for a 50% tax on immigration detention profits. Two Wiener bills requiring agents to show ID became law but face federal court challenges. A massive 2560-bed detention center opened in Kern County, the largest in California.
