- Nick Shirley confronts California Democrats over 'Stop Nick Shirley Act,' pressing on First Amendment rights
Independent journalist Nick Shirley confronted California lawmakers at the state Capitol, questioning Assembly Bill 2624, dubbed the 'Stop Nick Shirley Act' by Republicans, and alleging it infringes on First Amendment rights by restricting the public posting of personal information related to immigration services. Lawmakers, including Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, either avoided detailed discussions or dismissed Shirley's claims, with some calling him a 'scam artist.'
