California is considering a law to ban any ICE employee who worked in the Trump Adiministration

@ViciDraco MIGHT? Lol

@AthrillatheHunt Yes, might. Many of the ICE agents were not well trained and requiring additional training to ensure standards are met would set a soft barrier. This means if ICE is ever scaled down due to a change political regime or even a 'mission accomplished' declaration that going into state law enforcement is less of an easy entry. Though those who are dedicated are not outright barred. So some will get through that barrier. So, might. However, being applied broadly to state law enforcement also raises the quality of officers no matter what the background is.

ICE and state/local law enforcement already have pretty terrible records for de-escalation. Our military requires better trigger discipline from soldiers deployed to actual war zones.

Ultimately, we need to return to the days of calling these people "public servants" and stop calling them "the authorities".

@ViciDraco it’s illegal af and every lawyer / politico knows it.

@ViciDraco Supreme Court would have no say in it. State has a right to pass its own laws

@independentone Since when? And BTW, a Federal Court already has shot down the law -- not for its overall intent, but because it exempted State law enforcement from the same requirement. She was explicit that she thought the overall intent was legal and good, but that it should apply equally to all law enforcement.

@dancingtongue legal weed , sanctuary status , open carry , illegal abortion , etc.. all have become states rights issues.
I still don’t think this would stand though .

@AthrillatheHunt nope. Only discrimination agaisnt race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), national origin, age (40+), or disability is illegal. Beyond that it is employment at will

@MethDozer yea you’re right counselor
