>> well, i cannot stress to not. it is extremely rare for the governor to weigh in on a bill before it reaches his desk. but as pertains to this legislation calling on the state prison system not to cooperate with ice. the governor did weigh in hoping to send a strong message. he will veto it. and so the california prison system cooperate with ice and federal immigration enforcement. that is the very issue is something bill 15 tried to get out when it was originally authored in december. >> in most cases it would have prevented the california department of corrections and rehabilitation or cdcr from cooperating with ice in several ways. chief among them, it would have barred the state prison system from keeping someone in custody when ice requests the cdcr to do just that the bill would have also prevented the state prison system from providing ice with the prisoners release date and from transferring prisoners to directly to ice custody. but in a rare move before the bill even have its first committee hearing, governor newsom's office announced he will veto a be 15

or a bill like it if it reaches his desk. but the governor's office directing us to this message. the governor wrote when he vetoed a similar bill last year. newsom writing then, quote, i believe current law strikes the right balance on limiting interaction to support community trust and cooperation between law enforcement and local communities. for this reason, i cannot sign this bill. i think the governor is doing the right thing in this instance and i disagree with him on a regular basis. that's the reaction from republican us. i'm a member, cho patterson. he believes the state should cooperate with ice poll after poll shows that people are concerned about crime. why would we possibly not work with our federal partners on immigration enforcement for criminals were talking about criminals, not a person here hardworking. we're talking about people who work in prison. the governor's office notes since newsom took office in 2019. the state prison system has notified and coordinated with ice to transfer 10,588 prisoners into their cuscody. >> prisoners, the governor's

office says including murderers, rapists and violent offenders. they should be deported in our state should be working with the federal government to get them back out of this country. so continue to victimize people in this state. as for the future of ab 15, its main author, carson democratic assemblymember mike gibson said in the statement that he in his words introduced ab 15 with the intention of addressing an important issue. but the statement went on to say gibson is amending the bill to focus on in an entirely different issue. cold cases and resources for violent crime victims. patterson says he was happy to hear the original bill has been changed. of course, democrats changed the bill because the governor said what every californian things, which is this is an extremist policy and to be clear, even with newsom's announcement, california is still what many describe as a sanctuary state which in most cases prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with ice reporting at the state tom wallace kron 4 news.

unfortunately it we brought a lawsuit with other couples and city of san francisco. one, the freedom to marry again. and now just 11 years after 2015 were on the 10th anniversary of marriage equality being the law of the land nation wide. >> so are you feeling, you know, things are are kind of pendulum is swinging. i guess i don't need to remind you of that. do feel supported and safe in san francisco in the face of things becoming on a little less certain and downright hostile elsewhere. >> well, definitely in uncertain times. really free and the history of these marriages in san francisco city hall is a bedrock we return to that. fortifies for whatever comes. and also we return to our wedding vows to

be together for better or for worse. and we've seen many ups and downs already in the struggle for equal rights. we've seen our marriage rights granted under marriage rights, taken away, but we want them back. i think the lesson of that israeli summarized in the slogan of our movement, which is love wins. we really believe in the end that the marriage us from san francisco city hall for a beacon of hope to the country and really to the entire world that love will prevail. that's a message we take from being legally married. now for many years it fortifies its for whatever struggles we have yet to you mentioned the world and we're out of time. so this will be the final question. i know you've been to japan and other countries. >> talking to people about lgbtq+ struggles and >> your situation sharing your story. what have you learn doing? so what is your position on on where the world stands right now?
