CA: Lawmakers approve $50 million for Trump lawsuits, immigrant aid

Source: Politico

“California lawmakers on Monday approved a ‘Trump-proofing’ bill package that includes $50 million in state funding to challenge President Donald Trump’s policies in court and provide legal aid for immigrants. The proposals — which emerged from a special session Gov. Gavin Newsom called last year shortly after Trump’s election — easily passed on a party-line vote and now go to the governor for his signature. … Trump deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said ‘aiding and abetting’ undocumented immigrants is against the law and disregards the will of voters who were seeking change when they elected the president.” (02/03/25)
