21:24Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian sit down with California Assemblymember Nick Schultz (D-44th District), chair of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety, to talk about what it actually looks like to legislatively fortify a state against federal overreach. Schultz — a former Burbank city council member, mayor, and career prosecutor — describes constituents too afraid to leave their homes, seek medical care, or report crimes like domestic violence because of ICE activity in their communities, arguing the administration's tactics are making California less safe, not more. He breaks down legislation his committee has advanced, including the mask ban and ID requirement bills for law enforcement (SB 805 and SB 627), measures barring ICE from school campuses without judicial warrants, parental notification requirements, and environmental bills designed to let the state respond faster when federal protections are stripped. Kabateck connects the current moment to Prop 187 in the 1990s, arguing Republicans have lost the Latino vote for another generation — Schultz agrees but warns Democrats can't run on being anti-Trump alone and need to deliver on cost of living, housing, healthcare, and jobs. His message to viewers: the only way this ends at the federal level is electing a Congress willing to impeach and remove; at the state and local level, it's about proving that government can actually work for people.
