加利福尼亚州州长否决针对跨国镇压的法案, California governor vetoes bill targeting transnational repression over concerns about vague language and potential misuse.

加州州长Gavin Newsom于2025年10月13日否决了SB509法案, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB509 on October 13, 2025, a bill aimed at combating transnational repression by requiring law enforcement training to identify foreign proxies. 这一举动受到北美印度教联盟和其他团体的欢迎,他们警告说,该法案的模糊语言可能不公平地针对移民和移民社群的倡导者,包括那些反对反印度教仇恨和寺庙破坏的倡导者。 The move was welcomed by the Coalition of Hindus of North America and other groups who warned the bill’s vague language could unfairly target immigrant and diaspora advocates, including those opposing anti-Hindu hate and temple vandalism. 批评者认为,该立法缺乏明确的定义,有可能重复联邦的努力,并可能针对合法的社区声音而武器化。 Critics argued the legislation lacked clear definitions, risked duplicating federal efforts, and could be weaponized against legitimate community voices. 20多名大会成员投了弃权票,多个组织敦促使用否决权,Newsom认为,由于标准不一致和国家协调的需要,否决权是必要的。 Over 20 Assembly members abstained, and multiple organizations urged the veto, which Newsom cited as necessary due to inconsistent standards and the need for national coordination.
