Panelists Nick Shirley and Gene Hamilton detail the legal action they are taking against California over AB 2624, also known as the "Stop Nick Shirley Act".

A new federal lawsuit was filed September 4, 2026, by investigative YouTuber Nick Shirley and America First Legal president Gene Hamilton against California's AB 2624.

AB 2624, signed by Governor Newsom in August 2026, expands the Safe at Home program to provide address confidentiality and anti-doxxing protections for immigrant service workers facing documented threats, set to take effect October 2027.

Critics including Assemblymember Carl DeMaio nicknamed it the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" due to Shirley's prior videos alleging fraud in immigrant-run facilities, with the suit arguing the law unconstitutionally chills protected speech and investigative journalism.
