California Democrats on Wednesday passed AB 2624, dubbed the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ by Republicans. The bill, introduced by Democrat Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, restricts the release of investigative videos exposing immigration support service providers.
Mia Bonta is married to California’s radical far-left Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The California Democrats got to work on AB 2624 earlier this year after investigative journalist Nick Shirley exposed rampant hospice and daycare fraud.
The bill will fine journalists (and regular citizens) a minimum of $4,000 for exposing potential fraud inside certain immigration support service providers.
The bill passed the California Senate on Tuesday and was sent back to the Assembly for final passage on Wednesday.
Governor Newsom is expected to sign the bill.
California Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio blasted the Democrats for passing Mia Bonta’s bill.
Just when you think they can’t get any more lawless, they pass yet another law that lets them.
Doesn’t the United States Constitution apply to california also ? That earthquake can’t come some enough.
As was said “You can’t handle the truth”
Freedom of the press is protected by the first amendment. If they are recording in public places and have access to public record they can post whatever they want. Facts are facts. Sorry California, go ahead and push this issue so that the Supreme court can explain it to you.
