Tom Steyer's California governor bid centers on prosecuting ICE agents and flying deported immigrants back to the state
Tom Steyer, the billionaire and founder of Farallon Capital Management, rolled out a five-point immigration plan this week that reads less like a policy platform and more like a declaration of war against federal law enforcement.The California gubernatorial candidate pledged to abolish ICE operations in the state, criminally prosecute federal immigration agents, and use state funds to retrieve deported individuals from foreign countries and fly them back into California.
Steyer released his immigration pledges on Tuesday, framing the plan as a frontal challenge to federal immigration enforcement. In his own words, the candidate compared ICE to organized crime and cast himself as the lawman who would bring them down.
The plan amounts to an open promise by a major-party gubernatorial candidate to obstruct federal immigration law, arrest the agents who enforce it, and spend taxpayer money to undo lawful deportations. For California voters already living with the consequences of the state's sanctuary policies, this is what the next step looks like.
