As fires continue to ravage Southern California, Governor Gavin Newsom has committed $50 billion to “Trump-proof” the state. This is the first of its kind law that marks money for potential legal battles with the incoming Trump administration.
Governor Newsom plans to fight the Trump administration’s deportation policies, even though it was recently discovered that an illegal immigrant was starting fires in Los Angeles. Newsom wants to protect that guy from any path to deportation. The new plan will fund grants for legal nonprofits and immigration centers.
“This funding agreement cements California’s readiness to serve as a bulwark against Trump’s extremist agenda,” said Senate Budget Chair Scott Wiener in a statement.
This comes as the state is accused of thwarting wildfire prevention projects near the Pacific Palisades “to protect an endangered shrub.”
