California Earmarks USD35M to Back Undocumented Immigrants
This new allocation supplements existing resources aimed at offering legal assistance to individuals facing deportation. “While the federal government targets hardworking families, California stands with them – uniting partners and funding local communities to help support their neighbors,” Newsom stated. He added, “As the Trump Administration chooses cruelty and chaos, California chooses community.”
A governor’s spokesperson noted that immigrant families are increasingly fearful of leaving their homes, attending school, or going to work, and struggle to afford basic necessities. The state’s commitment to support these communities comes even as it anticipates a projected $2.9 billion budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year.
California has previously scaled back some health care benefits for undocumented immigrants to manage financial shortfalls, but officials emphasized that the new funding strengthens local organizations assisting residents with legal services and basic needs during this challenging period, according to Kim Johnson.
