State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) said the legislation is one of three proposals he is introducing as a package called Fight For California. Another bill would prohibit state agencies from providing federal entities with information for purposes of compiling a so-called Muslim registry, another Trump proposal. “We’re not going to allow a wall that harms our environment and our economy,” Lara said in a statement. Lara said the measure would not affect the sharing of information by law enforcement agencies for purposes of national security. “We’re going to fight for California and for our values of democracy, freedom and basic human decency.”
