Democrats in California passed legislation that would give millions of dollars to the Golden State to prevent President Donald Trump’s country-building agenda.
On Monday, the Democratic-controlled state Assembly approved a pair of charges reserving$ 25 million dollars to finance the state’s Justice Department’s potential lawsuits against the Trump administration. Under the Trump administration, lawmakers gave legal nonprofits another$ 25 million to help illegal immigrants who might be deported.  , The Assembly’s move came after the state senators had earlier approved the methods last month.
Governor had a special parliamentary period during which to cast the ballots. Following Trump’s second term in November, Governor Paul Newsom (D-CA ) issued an order right away. According to Newsom,” the rights we cherish in California are at risk.” He is anticipated to pass the legislation soon.  ,
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas made reference to Trump’s slew of executive orders, which include numerous immigration reform measures and steps to remove people from the country who have committed crimes in a speech that sought to justify the$ 50 million effort to target the president’s agenda.  ,
We do not believe President Donald Trump, Rivas said,” Given the numerous professional commands that have been issued over the last two days, I can say with certainty.” ” Right now, Californians are being threatened from an out-of-control administration in Washington. It is our responsibility to rise to the time”.
Assemblywoman Jasmeet Bains also cited the first week of the following Trump administration as “erasing any doubts that I may have had,” saying that while immediately she had “real questions” about whether approving millions was “responding to a serious danger or just trying to score some inexpensive social points.
SBX1-1, which was spearheaded by State Sen. Scott Wiener and Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, provides up to$ 25 million to the state Department of Justice to block Trump’s agenda in the courts.  ,
The same Democratic lawmakers supported SBX1-2 to grant non-profit organizations a$ 25 million grant to assist nearly two million Californians without legal status in receiving legal assistance. The legislation that Republicans had opposed and failed to include amendments that would make sure none of the funds would be used for people in the state who had committed crimes.  ,
Republican Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo warned that” state resources could still flow to organizations that obstruct federal efforts to bring these criminals to justice” without these amendments. It should not be partisan policy to protect our communities and ensure that criminals are held accountable for their deeds.
Republicans in California criticized the GOP counterparts who helped push the$ 50 million bill through on Monday.  ,
” For this body to appropriate$ 50 million to sue and block and obfuscate the president of the United States, I think, is outrageous”, Assemblyman Bill Essayli said. ” We need to be focused on the state of California”.
Tom Homan, Trump’s “border czar,” has warned that states like California that block attempts to deport illegal immigrants could lose significant federal funding.  ,

“I’ll say this: President Trump has made it clear, we’re going to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats right out of the gate]because ] they pose the most danger to this country. What governor or mayor doesn’t want public safety threats and national security threats out of their neighborhoods, out of their communities”? Homan stated in a conversation with Fox News ‘ Mark Levin in November. ” That’s their number one responsibility. So you can hate Trump however much you want, and you must love your neighbors more than you do President Trump.
