Gavin Newsom

But I appreciate you referencing something that I'm not sure many states have done, if any.

And that was the guidance we put out in partnership with the AG, reminding local DAs and local law enforcement officials of their authority vested in them under state law to move forward with prosecutions.

It's limited in scope.

We're not naive about federal rules and preemption.

By the way, that's being tested in the courts.

I signed the first bill in the country on unmasking for federal agencies, for federal agents, which is also part of the discussion of whether or not we have a government shutdown.

And I think it's an important one.

I think they should take the masks off.

You want to build trust.

You want to build a sense of community again.

This idea that we have a private police force that seems to have taken an oath of office to the president, not the Constitution.

This paramilitary outfit scares the hell out of me, and I imagine scares the hell out of you, and sure as hell has communities on edge all across this country.

Unmasking would be one of the primary reasons.

reforms we should advance.

We've looked at that and we've looked at that before the legislative proposal.

And we've looked through...

I don't want to get, I'm now literally seeing my legal memo in my mind on the proposal.

I want to be careful not to opine on that.

But it is pending.

It's something we had already considered.
