Newsom faces lawsuit threat over fraud case
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that provides privacy protections for immigration support service providers, shielding their addresses and penalizing public sharing of their images. Critics argue that the law effectively criminalizes investigative journalism related to taxpayer-funded organizations, particularly those exposing fraud or government misconduct. Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio plans to file a lawsuit against the law, claiming it infringes on First Amendment rights and aims to silence watchdog efforts. Newsom’s spokesperson denied the law hinders journalism or exposes fraud, asserting it is unrelated to any specific individual.
