Immigrant advocates blast Brown vetoes in Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday for last-minute vetoes of bills that could have brought sweeping change to the state's large foreign-born population. SANTA ANA (AP) — Immigrant advocates blasted The criticism of his decision to nix measures to expand the rights of nannies and house cleaners and protect some illegal immigrants from deportation muted cheers for a bill to give driver's licenses to some illegal immigrants. The advocates said Brown's signing of the bill offering driver's licenses to young immigrants who qualify for two- year federal work permits — while welcomed by many immigrants — doesn't have the far-reaching impact that backing the other measures could have had. They said sign- ing those bills could have further distinguished California as immigrant-friendly compared to states such as Arizona and Alabama, which have been cracking down on illegal immigration. ''It is disappointing that Jerry Brown doesn't want to be the anti-Jan Brewer,'' said Aarti Kohli, senior fellow at the Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy at University of California, Berkeley School of Law. ''The advocates feel very betrayed. They feel like the immigrant and particular- ly the Latino community have been behind the governor ... and that he hasn't really shown a deep understanding of these really serious issues.'' Brown vetoed the so-called TRUST Act, which would have barred local law enforcement officers from detaining suspects for possible deportation unless they were charged with serious or violent crimes, and another bill to provide overtime pay, meal breaks and other labor protections to domestic workers. Immigrant advocates questioned what drove the Demo- cratic governor to take the positions right before the dead- line to sign or veto legislation. Some speculated that pressure from the federal govern- ment to protect its flagship immigration enforcement pro- gram, known as Secure Communities, and opposition by some California law enforcement officials — including Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca — may have played a role. Advocates had hoped that Brown — who supported Cesar Chavez and a number of farmworker issues during his first stint as governor — would have backed the TRUST Act, which aimed to curtail Secure Communities. The program, which checks the immigration status of arrestees, is touted by Immigration and Customs Enforce- ment as a vital crime-fighting tool but reviled by immigrant advocates who say it erodes immigrants' trust in police.

At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries, authorities said.

''He is willing to work with stakeholders to address major concerns and improve it,'' Gil Duran, a spokesman for the governor, said about the bill. ''Everyone should take a deep breath and recognize the tremendous opportunity here.'' The train traveled about 600 feet after the collision before hitting a switchback and derailing, according to California Patrol Officer Scott Harris.
