California Gov. Gavin Newsom has secured a $50 million budget to combat the Trump administration’s policies and support migrants who have entered the country illegally, as reported by Politico. The funding includes $25 million for the California Department of Justice to fight legal battles against the federal government, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Meanwhile, California’s wildfires have killed at least 24 people, prompting criticism of Newsom’s focus on political funding instead of disaster response, as noted by Republican Assemblyman James Gallagher. The wildfires are projected to be the costliest disaster in U.S. History, with damages estimated up to $250 billion, as stated by AccuWeather.
