“Your press office tweeted out that it was state-sponsored terrorism, which, I mean governor, I just have to ask you about that. That sort of thing makes our politics worse, and it does,” said Shapiro, to which Newsom responded, “Yeah.”

He (Shapiro) questioned, “Wouldn’t best policy be to cooperate with ICE in the vast majority of cases so instead of ICE going to, as you say, churches and hospitals to pick people up, they’d be going to jailhouses?” “That’s exactly what they do in California. I mean, we have over 10,000 that I’ve cooperated with since I’ve been governor of California,” claimed Newsom. “We work very directly with ICE as it relates to CDCR state prison. California has cooperated with more ICE transfers probably than any other state in the country, and I have vetoed multiple pieces of legislation that have come from my legislature to stop the ability for the state of California to do that.”
