I'm filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to end the illegal takeover of the California National Guard, which has escalated chaos and violence in LA. Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority.
Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader. Trump may not care about his safety, but I know the American people have the heart to. Keep up the pressure. Do it peacefully.

California’s economy continues to dominate as home to the most Fortune 500 companies in the nation. We aren’t just keeping pace with the world, we’re setting the pace.
California is the fourth-largest economy, the most diverse state in the most diverse democracy, and a leader in technology and innovation BECAUSE of immigrants. Immigrants are what make our state great and they are what make this country great.
Donald Trump’s actions bring us closer to the collapse of our democracy. Instilling fear through militarization and threatening to arrest political opponents is fundamentally un-American. Wake up.
The treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is disgraceful — no matter how you look at it. If this is how the Trump Administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, we should all be alarmed.
Seventeen years ago as Mayor of San Francisco, I had the incredible honor of marrying Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin in what became California’s first legal same-sex union. That day, their love reaffirmed what I've always known to be true: LGBTQ rights are human rights.
As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement. The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. That is not the way any civilized country behaves.
I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles. The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.
