Nick Shirley sues California over law critics call the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’
Citizen journalist Nick Shirley has filed a federal lawsuit challenging AB 2624, the Stop Nick Shirley Act, arguing the law restricting publishing personal information about immigration support providers violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments and aims to silence investigative reporting. Proponents say the Safe at Work Act protects providers from doxxing while opponents, led by Shirley and backed by America First Legal, argue it suppresses transparency; the bill was signed by Gov. Newsom and is slated to take effect in 2027.
