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

Any person who worked for ICE or Border Patrol agent during Trumps 2nd administration will be banned from EVER working for any law enforcement agency in California for life.
Will other States step up and pass similar laws?
What are your Thoughts?

I feel like the supreme court might shoot that down. Upping professionalism and engagement standards across the state's law enforcement might be a suitable workaround.

@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
