The formerly great state of California took a giant step toward becoming a complete leftist dictatorship with a new law that completely destroys the 1st Amendment.
As The New York Post reported, Governor Gavin Newsom officially signed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” into law on Saturday. This comes just days after a leftist operative interrupted an interview the independent journalist was conducting at the State Capitol and launched a disgusting and bizarre personal attack against him.
The legislation, which officially takes effect on October 1, 2027, passed the Senate on Tuesday and cleared the state Assembly on Wednesday.
The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” was introduced by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who is married to California’s far-left Attorney General, Rob Bonta. AB 2624 claims to expand California’s “Safe at Home” confidentiality program to safeguard “immigration support service providers” from harassment.
But in reality, this is a disgusting Democrat power grab designed to silence brave conservative citizen journalists like Shirley who expose the rampant fraud bleeding American taxpayers dry in government-funded immigrant service centers.
For example, Shirley has exposed over $110 million in alleged Somali-run daycare fraud in Minnesota — empty “learning centers” billing taxpayers while no children were present.
He then followed up with a shocking exposé on California daycare and hospice fraud schemes. This included ghost operations in Los Angeles tied to massive looting of Medi-Cal and Medicare.
But now, Shirley’s videos can be forced offline. Worse, journalists and citizens like him can be dragged into court, financially ruined, and even jailed.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, this fascist law states that anyone who takes photos, records video, or posts information online revealing the faces or locations of workers at these mass-migration, non-profit entities faces catastrophic consequences:
• A minimum $4,000 to $10,000 fine per violation
• Imprisonment and criminal misdemeanor charges
• Forced content takedown orders
One can only hope this law gets struck down quickly. But given the state of America’s legal system, don’t be surprised if it takes the U.S. Supreme Court to end this madness.
