As someone who both is and looks Hispanic, I need to worry about ICE deporting my ass if I can't prove my identity in any particular moment. I can't rely on the identification the state can give me alone. It's not just a trans issue for me, as getting a passport was a long and arduous process before fascists took over and started dismantling the government. With a new name on my California IDs, my old passport might as well be a cousin's
This proposed law is very narrowly tailored to the handling of records about court proceedings. It is unjust the way you are treated by this country, but this bill is not that, at least not in the ways you describe.
If ice or any other law enforcement agency wanted the documents at issue, they could only get them through a court order. This would be unchanged.
If you need these records to defend yourself in a court, both you and your lawyer are entitled to that information with or without this bill.
This bill will not change your state ID. The process for changing names and gender markers on state IDs is unchanged.
If you want to change the name on your ID, you have to submit the court order yourself. You also have the right to not update your IDs. None of this would be changed by this bill.
