Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom Considering Ways to Help Illegal Migrants Dodge Trump’s Planned Mass Deportation; Newsom’s Team Scheming Plan to Protect Illegal Immigrants from Trump Deportations: Report
Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom considering ways to help illegal migrants dodge Trump’s planned mass deportation:
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is drawing up plans to help illegal migrants dodge deportation when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
An internal memo being circulated within Newsom’s administration calls for the “creation of an Immigrant Support Network comprised of regional ‘hubs’ to connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems — such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc,” according to Politico.
The outlet notes that the memo is light on details, including the cost to taxpayers for such a program, but suggests that the “hubs” would refer migrants facing deportation to various service providers, share “critical” information and gather information to better coordinate statewide policies to counter Trump’s deportation efforts.
A spokesperson for the governor’s office told The Post that the memo appears to be a “preliminary” document drafted at the “department-level” and that it has not been reviewed by Newsom.
“This document is an internal and deliberative draft document meant for internal discussions as part of a number of possible considerations given the incoming federal administration’s public remarks,” Scott Murray, a spokesperson for California’s Department of Social Services — the agency that drafted the memo — told The Post Tuesday.
“It is not a final proposal,” he added.
The Department of Social Services is still gauging interest in the proposed program, according to Politico, and determining when it could be implemented.
If the plan is finalized, it will be announced in mid-January, according to the outlet. —>READ MORE HERE
Newsom’s team scheming plan to protect illegal immigrants from Trump deportations: Report
Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s (D-CA) administration is reportedly developing a framework to stop the incoming Trump administration from deporting California’s illegal immigrants.
With California holding more undocumented immigrants than any other state, a new memo titled the “Immigrant Support Network Concept” is introducing a framework to carry out resistance efforts to President-elect Donald Trump’s “law and order” immigration agenda, according to Politico.
The Golden State’s Democratic attorney general and a Newsom appointee, Rob Bonta, has already vowed to “use the full force of the law and every tool at our disposal” to protect undocumented immigrants from Trump’s allegedly “draconian” deportation agenda.
However, the latest internal memo provides further insight into the state’s reckoning with Trump, detailing the “creation of an Immigrant Support Network comprised of regional ‘hubs’ to connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems — such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc.”
The California Department of Social Services will play a crucial role in resisting deportation efforts, according to the draft memo, with the agency distributing state funds to eligible immigrant support nonprofits and taking on administrative duties for the “hubs.”
The Newsom administration’s framework “is not a final proposal,” said Scott Murray, California’s deputy director of public affairs and outreach programs for the Department of Social Services, in comments to the Washington Examiner.
“This document is an internal and deliberative draft document meant for internal discussions as part of a number of possible considerations given the incoming federal administration’s public remarks,” Murray added. —>READ MORE HERE
