California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation that would have required the state’s public universities and community colleges to make undocumented students eligible for campus employment, citing the risk of retaliation by the Trump administration. In a veto message issued last month, Newsom warned that federal officials are “quick to wreak destruction for political spectacle” and said the potential consequences for colleges were too great. The bill’s name and number were not specified in the available details. The decision contrasts with other actions Newsom has taken against the administration’s immigration policies. He signed a state law last year barring federal immigration agents from wearing masks, and on Sept. 29 signed a package of bills aimed at limiting immigration enforcement and protecting immigrant communities. At the time, he said California was pushing back against what he called Trump’s “Orwellian” tactics. The veto leaves undocumented students without the campus-job eligibility the bill sought to establish. Newsom’s stated concern was that requiring colleges to provide that access could expose the institutions to federal retaliation.
