OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) — California leaders on Wednesday revealed a new method for people to report suspected illegal actions by federal authorities. Attorney General Rob Bonta announced an online portal people can use to upload photos and videos of federal agents they believe have broken the law.
It’s a response to what Bonta called “a campaign of terror and fear” waged by President Donald Trump’s administration against immigrants. “While federal agents have authority to enforce federal law, they must do so lawfully,” Bonta said at a press conference. “They are not above accountability.”
The online portal — oag.ca.gov/reportmisconduct — informs people that making a complaint doesn’t mean the state Department of Justice will take action. Also, it emphasizes that Bonta’s office can’t represent people or offer legal advice. Bonta said the online portal isn’t intended to replace local authorities when people need to report a crime and that people should continue to call 911 in those cases.
Instead, he said, it offers another route for people to tell California officials about possible wrongdoing by federal authorities, like excessive force, wrongful detentions and interfering with voting. Bonta said Californians are scared and that they’re right to question the administration’s methods. “Nobody should be living in fear,” he added.
