Half allocated to state’s justice department while other half set aside for legal groups to defend immigrants

Summary

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed laws allocating $50 million to fight Trump administration policies, including $25 million for legal battles and $25 million to defend immigrants facing deportation.

The move follows past legal clashes, as California sued Trump over 120 times during his first term.

Republicans call the funding a political stunt, arguing it diverts resources from wildfire recovery.

Newsom insists the funds will protect civil rights but clarified they won’t defend immigrants convicted of serious felonies.

Republicans call the funding a political stunt

GQP brain:

Political stunt = protecting Californians

Not political stunt = creating floods with water farmers need for their summer crops
