California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two bills on Feb. 7 that would set aside a combined $50 million to protect illegal immigrants and defend the state from potential legal actions by the Trump administration.
One of the bills allocates $25 million to nonprofit organizations that offer immigration services to people “at risk of detention, deportation, eviction, wage theft, intimate partner violence, and other actions that put their safety at risk” because of federal actions.
