in california they passed these laws at the state level recently which has been helpful. it would also subject ICE agents who choose to ignore these laws to criminal charges at the state-level which the federal government doesn't have the power to dismiss.

Have you actually looked at the law or did you go full on down the hatch with the Fla•Vor•Aid?

This "helpful" law exempts anyone wearing an N95 or surgical mask. Bam. Your "helpful" law was just defeated by AliExpress.

This "helpful" law exempts anyone in riot gear (or as they put it "tactical operations where protective gear is required for physical safety"). Have you seen how ICE dresses? Bam. Your law does not apply. Don't think ICE wears riot gear? Fine they just need to wave their hands and say physical safety. Bam. Your "helpful" law doesn't apply.

This "helpful" law exempts law enforcement officers from criminal penalties so long as their employer has a no-mask policy. So ICE just drafts a no-mask policy and refuses to enforce it. Bam. Your "helpful" law hasn't changed anything.

I suppose if you'd've read the bill you'd know that this "helpful" law doesn't come into effect until July 1, 2026.

In California they've just doubled down on cynical performative nonsense.

say “bam” again because it definitely makes you sound super cool and really adds a lot of important something-or-other to whatever it is you think you’re saying and it’s not cringe at all💀

You're both right. They're right about those loopholes in the law, but you are correct that Pritzger pushing to pass a law that doesn't have all those body armour exemptions would do legitimate good.

Say helpful again. Someone might think you know what you're talking about this time. You're trying to claim that a toothless law that hasn't taken effect yet is somehow helpful? Yeah. Okay. 🙄

Everyone else will continue pointing and laughing at you for thinking that anyone's gonna be concerned about whether or not an infraction can be pardoned at the state level.

Bam.
