ICE launches California immigration crackdown. Newsom calls it ‘campaign of fear’

The Trump administration is launching waves of ICE immigration operations across California over the next 45 days, the Washington Examiner reported this week. Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted the statewide raids weeks before November’s midterm elections as a “campaign of fear.” Dubbed internally as “Operation Safe California,” the Examiner reported, the enforcement began several days ago in the San Diego area, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials ordering its field agents to arrest all immigrants they meet, criminal history or not.
