Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed plan to help illegal migrants has raised concerns about whether California should continue receiving significant federal funding. The draft, titled the “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” aims to create regional hubs offering assistance to migrants at risk of deportation.
CA Gov. Gavin Newsom knows his political future hinges on making the progressive left happy.
His nefarious and illegal plan to put illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens is nothing more than an appeal to open-border zealots.

The hubs would connect individuals with legal, educational, and community resources, with oversight by the California Department of Social Services. Nonprofits would receive state funds to manage these services and cover associated costs.
Governor Newsom 60 Billion in the hole. Every principality that defies Trump will see their funding disappear. Newsom is gambling with California's future. Prioritizing illegals over citizens.

Critics question whether California’s $100 billion in annual federal funding should be reconsidered if the state actively opposes Trump’s immigration policies. Funding specifics for the plan remain unclear, though lawmakers aim to finalize the proposal before the new administration takes office.

The Trump administration plans to ramp up deportations, focusing on violent offenders but targeting all who are in the U.S. illegally. Families with U.S.-born children will also be affected, according to border czar Tom Homan.
Federal estimates place the illegal migrant population at 7.8 million, but some claim the actual number could reach 20 million. These discrepancies have fueled debates over immigration policy.
California’s resistance to federal immigration laws could set the stage for broader clashes between state and national priorities.
