What happened, for context
Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed Assembly Bill 713 on September 22, 2026 (Sunday), blocking undocumented students from working on California public college campuses. This is the second veto of such legislation in two years, following a 2024 veto. Newsom cited concerns about potential federal liability and the legal theory underlying the bill, which argues a 1986 federal labor law does not apply to state governments.
