Governor Gavin Newsom’s office has issued an advisory on rights surrounding immgration enforcement.

In part it said:

You Have the Right to Observe, Record & Document. Stay calm.

You can legally observe, record, and document immigration arrests that happen in public spaces.

Staying calm helps protect your safety and the safety of the person being detained. Verbally attacking or physically approaching federal agents can escalate the situation and put everyone at risk. The federal government may pursue criminal charges against anyone who interferes with or obstructs a federal officer.

Even if you believe the arrest is unlawful, you should not resist or physically intervene. Calmly and verbally assert your rights.
