California Shields Immigrant Advocates | Los Angeles News
Description
California just passed a bold new law, Assembly Bill 2624, designed to shield immigrant advocates from retaliation. If you’re helping immigrants—whether through work or volunteering—and face threats or harassment, you can now get your home address hidden from public records. Starting October 1, 2027, approved applicants will receive a substitute address that government agencies must use instead. The law responds to rising intimidation and aims to protect those on the front lines of humanitarian aid. While critics worry it could curb citizen journalism, sponsor Assemblymember Mia Bonta insists it’s essential to stop targeted violence. The bill also makes it illegal to post someone’s personal info online with intent to incite fear or harm. This is California saying: protecting vulnerable communities means protecting those who serve them.
