Democrat Cali. Gov. Gavin Newsom will use taxpayer money to help illegal aliens circumvent President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation ahead of his inauguration next month, reports claim.
According to an internal memo obtained by Politico, the governor’s team and the California Department of Social Services are working on an “Immigrant Support Network Concept” that would create “hubs” to “connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems — such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc.”
The unpublished memo says hubs would collect “critical” intel on communities “in order to coordinate policies statewide,” with a final plan to be introduced mid-January.
“The administration continues to collaborate with the Legislature to finalize a thoughtful special session funding proposal, which is on track to be signed into law before January 20, 2025,” said Department of Social Services spokesperson Theresa Mier.
Reached for comment by Fox News Digital, another Social Services representative, Scott Murray, claimed the document is merely “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.”
“It is not a final proposal,” Murray insisted.
Notably, the draft does not mention what the plan would cost.
California has a vested interest in protecting illegal immigrants from being deported. The “Golden State” has the highest illegal immigrant population, many of whom illegally work in the agriculture sector as modern day slaves, helping to flood the market with cheap labor and keep wages low.
It remains to be seen how the Trump administration will respond to Newsom’s plan to protect his state’s immigrant population, but as incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan has explained, governors who defy a future mass deportation effort would be committing felonies under US law if they obstruct federal officials.
