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
California is lawyering up. I just hope a fight in the courts still means something.
It’s not a stunt if it’s signed into law.
I’m surprised they need to pass laws for this? I figured it would just come out of some sort of discretionary fund.
It’s possible they were able to do that, but this gave them a legal way to do this if providing the support gets challenged.
