California Governor Newsom signs bill allocating $50M to protect state policies and aid immigrants.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation allocating $50 million to protect state policies and assist immigrants. Half of the funds will support the state's legal battles against federal policies, while the other half will go to legal aid for immigrants facing potential deportation. The move comes after California faced over 100 legal actions against the Trump administration during his first term, spending nearly $42 million on such legal battles. Republican lawmakers criticize the move, calling it a distraction from urgent state issues like wildfires.
