California Considers Plan to Shield Undocumented Immigrants from Trump’s Deportation Efforts

A draft proposal outlines the creation of support hubs to connect at-risk individuals with legal and community resources as Trump prepares to launch mass deportations.

• California Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration is evaluating a draft proposal to establish an 'Immigrant Support Network' aimed at assisting undocumented immigrants facing deportation under President-elect Donald Trump.
• The plan, still in its preliminary stages, involves creating regional hubs to provide legal aid and connect individuals with schools, labor unions, and other community resources.
• The California Department of Social Services would oversee the network, distributing state funds to nonprofits and managing administrative duties for the hubs.
• Newsom has already requested $25 million in emergency funding for legal battles against Trump’s immigration policies, while state lawmakers are seeking an additional $60 million for immigrant legal representation programs.
• California, home to an estimated 1.85 million undocumented immigrants, faces a $68 billion budget deficit, raising questions about the financial feasibility of the proposed initiatives.
