Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced that California is removing the word “alien” from its state laws and replacing it with words such as “noncitizen” and “immigrant.”
Newsom said the word “alien” was created “as a political dog whistle to express bigotry and hatred without using traditionally racist language.”
