California Proposition 187 Targets Undocumented Immigrants
California voters approved Proposition 187 (Save Our State) with 59% in favor, denying undocumented immigrants access to public education, healthcare, and social services. Though primarily targeting Latino immigrants, civil rights organizations including the NAACP opposed the measure for its broader implications for racial profiling and immigrant communities of color. Federal courts blocked most provisions as unconstitutional.
