Newsom blocks on-campus work for undocumented California students
California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed AB 713, which would have allowed paid campus jobs for undocumented students at UC, CSU and California Community Colleges, citing liability risks and unresolved federal legality; opponents argued the policy would expand opportunities for thousands of students, while UC/CSU remained neutral and experts warned about legal challenges, leaving the policy in limbo after a second veto in two years.
