And California's gubernatorial race is heating up with candidates rolling out bold new policy proposals. 
Billionaire Tom Steyer is now calling for the state to investigate, prosecute, and potentially jail federal ICE agents who violate California law. 
NTD's Kristina Corona has more from Southern California where residents are reacting to the controversial plan. 
With the California governor's race quickly approaching, candidates are now putting forward policy proposals including one involving jailing ICE agents. We spoke to several residents to hear their thoughts on Tom Steyer's plan. 
If Trump's [music] ICE agents break the law, we'll prosecute them just like anyone else. And if their leaders direct them to break the law, we'll prosecute them, too. 
In a recent blog post, millionaire California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer says the state could use existing laws to investigate and prosecute federal immigration agents who break the law. 
His plan includes strengthening protections against racial profiling, creating a task force to investigate detention centers, and expanding legal support for immigrants. 
But the idea is getting pushback. 
Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen told Fox News, He doesn't understand ICE's role. 
He says they're criminal from top to bottom. 
ICE is enforcing the laws that Congress passed. 
That means that the Democrats that are that represent California in in the federal government, if they wanted to change ICE's authority, they could do it. 
Residents had mixed reactions. 
They're way out of hand. 
If they're so brave and so full of themselves, why don't they take the mask off and the glasses and everything and show their face? No. 
No, ICE agents are doing their job. It's someone that's doing their job. You can't hate someone for doing their job and doing what they're told. 
That's ridiculous to me. So, for him to say that, and I did see a commercial on that, and I turn it every time it comes on TV because it's just it just makes me sick to my stomach that people are treating our people who would protect us. 
As the race continues, mail-in ballots are expected to go out in early May.
