California Dems Propose ‘Slush Fund’ To ‘Trump-Proof’ Illegal Migrants From Deportation Amid Deadly Wildfires

California Democratic lawmakers are reportedly proposing to allocate $50 million of the state’s budget to fund litigation against the incoming Trump administration and shield illegal migrants from deportation as the state battles one of the costliest wildfire disasters in history.

The $50 million proposal comes as California Governor Gavin Newsom’s special legislative session to “Trump-proof” the state’s left-wing laws began convening Thursday. Lawmakers are reportedly planning to allocate $25 million to the state Department of Justice to provide additional funding to sue the incoming Trump administration and another $25 million in grants to immigration advocacy nonprofits seeking to shield illegal migrants from detention and deportation.

Lawmakers’ allocation of $25 million in grants to left-wing immigration advocacy nonprofits comes as an illegal migrant is accused of attempting to start fires with a flamethrower near the Kenneth Fire Thursday.

California Senate Budget Committee Chair Scott Wiener defended lawmakers siphoning off money from the state budget to fund hypothetical legal fights with the incoming Trump administration and protect illegal migrants from deportation efforts as the state is battling one of the costliest wildfire disasters in American history.

“This funding agreement cements California’s readiness to serve as a bulwark against Trump’s extremist agenda,” Wiener said in a statement obtained by POLITICO.
