California Governor Gavin Newsom on Oct. 13 vetoed Senate Bill 509, which would have mandated law enforcement training on "transnational repression," after Indian American and civil rights groups warned that it could foster bias and duplicate existing federal frameworks.
Community leaders across the State hailed Newsom's move. The legislation—passed without opposition in both chambers—sought to train local police on detecting and combating "transnational repression," acts of intimidation by foreign governments against U.S. residents.
