Gavin Newsom Signs Bills to Divert $50 Million in Taxpayer Money to Fund His Anti-Trump Lawsuits


Blogger Comment: The MADNESS of the DEMOCRATES where they fight their President to allow illegal immigrants to stay and be paid for by the American taxpayer with their tax dollars (and all debt and borrowed money with $36 Trillion+ of National Debt....but where they simply do not care one iota for that of course)...clearly they are for others than their own and the sooner that they are kicked out the better, as without this the lunacy of the far left will never go...time to make up your mind where you stand and  your true allegiance...for the illegal immigrants or your country and its legitimate people...the American people...period


As his constituents are still battling the destruction left behind by last month’s devastating fires in Los Angeles, California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has just signed two bills into law to fund his lawsuits against President Donald Trump.

Newsom’s bills will divert a whopping $50 million in taxpayer money to fund his anti-Trump lawsuits.

However, Southern California residents are expressing outrage over the governor’s move amid the ongoing wildfire relief efforts.

In a statement, Greg Burt, vice president of the California Family Council, said:

“Gov. Newsom’s decision to spend $50 million of taxpayer funds on lawsuits against federal immigration policies and legal services for illegal immigrants demonstrates a reckless disregard for California families.

“This sends a dangerous message: Some people must follow the law to become legal residents or citizens while others can break it with state-funded protection.”

Both pieces of legislation came from Newsom.

The governor called a special session of the California legislature in December to “ensure key California values are protected from any unlawful overreach from the incoming administration.”

Announcing his move, Newsom posted on X:

“In response to the next administration’s proposed agenda, California is preparing to counter any unlawful attacks against the Golden State.”

The two bills were co-authored by Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel and Sen. Scott Wiener, both Democrats.

The bills were passed to “Trump-proof” the state, they claim.

The first bill, SBX1-1, allows the state’s Department of Justice to receive $25 million in additional funding to pay for partisan legal challenges against federal policy and actions of the Trump administration.

The second, SBX1-2, issues $25 million toward general fund resources for “immigration and legal aid services.”

The bill’s primary objective is to provide legal aid to illegal immigrants facing deportation.

According to the summary of the bill text, the legislation has four specific allocations or stipulations that apply:

  • “Appropriates $10 million to the Legal Services Trust Fund to provide legal services to vulnerable persons at risk of detention, deportation, eviction, wage theft, intimate partner violence, and other actions that put their safety at risk, as a result of potential or actual federal action.”
  • “Adds $10 million to the Immigration Services Funding program (also called ‘One California program’) at the Department of Social Services for immigration services funding.”
  • “Increases $5 million to the Judicial Council, to be distributed through the California Access to Justice Commission to nonprofit providers of legal services.”
  • “Specifies that up to 2.5% of funding provided for each item in this bill can be used for administrative expenses and requires reporting to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.”

Last month, Wiener, who has pushed several bills that seek to sexualize children, issued a statement attacking the Trump administration.

“California faces two massive challenges,” he stated before briefly brushing over the “horrific destructive wildfires in Los Angeles.”

The second obstacle was Wiener’s main focus and was based on a fabrication.

Wiener falsely claimed that Trump’s “administration has vowed to make it harder for Los Angeles to recover by withholding disaster relief and deporting immigrant Angelenos who have been impacted by the fires and who are actively helping their neighbors.”

When he met with Trump in Washington, D.C., the governor called the discussion “incredibly productive and constructive.”

However, it didn’t escape people’s attention that Newsom seemingly waited until after meeting with Trump earlier this month to sign the bills into law.

After adding his signature to both pieces of legislation, Newsom claimed the funding wouldn’t help illegal immigrants “convicted of serious or violent felonies.”

Yet, the bill’s verbiage says otherwise.

In fact, $10 million is granted explicitly to organizations that “provide immigration-related services, including removal defense.”
