A few days earlier, Rep. Eric Swalwell was leading the field, but by Monday he had exited the race amid sexual assault allegations that dramatically changed the contest. In the vacuum he left behind, billionaire investor Tom Steyer stepped in and signaled the kind of campaign he intends to run. He used a post on X to argue that ICE should be abolished, presenting that stance as the moderate part of his pitch to voters.<\/p>\n<p>In polls, Steyer was polling in the low to mid-teens, behind rivals who were higher in the rankings. He then pushed his rhetoric further, likening ICE agents to the mafia and proposing they be prosecuted and jailed as part of his strategy. He also called for bringing back those detained by ICE and gave California\u2019s attorney general broad power to pursue cases and create a specialized investigative unit aimed at challenging federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Critics note that what Steyer proposed would require state and local authorities to arrest federal agents and would clash with Supreme Court precedents that affirm ICE\u2019s authority under federal law. Still, he pressed ahead, arguing that California should act on its own despite federal limitations. He also advocated massively expanding taxpayer-funded legal aid for undocumented immigrants facing deportation.<\/p>\n<p>The piece argues that Steyer\u2019s plan comes at a time when many residents are struggling to afford homes and secure their financial futures, suggesting that he is prioritizing illegal immigration issues over the needs of state taxpayers. It portrays electing Steyer as a striking, unfiltered test of how far-left policy ideas would play out in California-the country\u2019s largest state economy-warning that the results could be chaotic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2591304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tom-Steyer-.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546,33651],"tags":[37666,33010,40275,77855],"class_list":["post-2591303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","category-the-western-journal","tag-california-politics","tag-criminal-justice","tag-gubernatorial-race","tag-tom-steyer"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tom-Steyer-.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2591303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2591303"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2591303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2591307,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2591303\/revisions\/2591307"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2591304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2591303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2591303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2591303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
