Democrats approve $50 million to resist Trump while fires rage
California Democrats used a special session last week to approve $50 million in funding to resist President-elect Donald Trump as wildfires rage in the southern part of the Golden State.
The state legislature is in a session aimed at combatting the incoming Trump administration’s proposed policies regarding illegal immigration, among other issues. Democrats in the state legislature have come to a $50 million agreement to ready defense against some Trump administration policies, according to a report from Politico.
The deal would provide $25 million for the California Department of Justice to levy legal challenges to Trump policies, as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) requested, while the other $25 million would be used to defend against deportation of illegal immigrants, going toward immigration groups and centers, per the report.
“This funding agreement cements California’s readiness to serve as a bulwark against Trump’s extremist agenda,” Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener told the outlet in a statement.
The legislature’s continued focus on combatting Trump before he takes office, as the wildfires still rage in Los Angeles, has been heavily criticized by Republican lawmakers in the state. State Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher blasted the reported deal in a statement Sunday evening.
“At a time when California should be laser focused on responding to the devastating wildfires in LA, Democrat lawmakers’ priority is creating a $50 million slush fund to hire government lawyers for hypothetical fights against the federal government and to defend criminal illegal immigrants from being returned to their home countries,” Gallagher said in a post on X. “The disconnect between what Californians need and what Democrats are focused on is astounding.”
Newsom and California Democrats have made their opposition to Trump known, with the governor and the president-elect engaged in a war of words over the state’s handling of wildfires with the new infernos in Los Angeles.
Despite the feud, Newsom has invited Trump to visit the Golden State to see the devastation of the wildfires firsthand.
