Nick Shirley Sues POC Over “Stop Nick Shirley Act”

I’m not sure how the law is illegal considering it violates the People’s Republik of California Constitution

Nick Shirley sues California over law shielding information of immigration support workers

Right-wing influencer Nick Shirley sued Californiaon Friday over a newly passed law he claims targets his investigatory work into fraud permeating government-funded programs.

Dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” by Shirley supporters, the law adds immigration support service providers to California’s Safe at Home program, which allows qualifying people to use a confidential address in public records. The program also covers victims of sexual assault, stalking and child abduction, among others.

Shirley says the law could impose liability for publishing or revealing certain personal information about immigration service providers, even if obtained lawfully.

“The First Amendment does not allow the government to silence truthful reporting because it is controversial, inconvenient, or politically disfavored,” Shirley says, adding: “In practical terms, the law places a target on all the investigative reporting Mr. Shirley conducts.”

Shirley asks a federal judge to declare the law a violation of the First and 14th amendments and stop California from enforcing it.

Let’s see Article I (Declaration of Rights), Section 2 of the California constitution:

(a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.

Hmm, seems pretty specific. All California is trying to do is stop anyone from….investigating fraudulent use of taxpayer money, especially by aliens, be they legal or illegal.

“I’m suing California…” Shirley stated Friday on his X account. “California has decided to push for less transparency and create laws that penalize citizens and journalists for looking into potential fraud inside ‘immigration support services providers.’ A written demand is all it takes to stop the publishing of a video in California. Enough is enough.”

How fast will the California law be killed?
