Gov. Gavin Newsom is spearheading a proposal to protect illegal migrants in California, a move that has reignited calls to reconsider the state’s dependence on federal aid. Known as the “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” the draft plan outlines a system of hubs to assist at-risk individuals.
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.

These hubs would link migrants to legal services, educational institutions, and community resources. The California Department of Social Services would oversee operations, using state funds to support nonprofits managing the network.
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.

The proposal has drawn criticism from those who argue California’s $100 billion in annual federal funding should be at risk if the state opposes federal immigration policies. Funding details for the migrant assistance plan remain under review, with Newsom’s administration targeting approval before January 20.

President Donald Trump has vowed to enforce strict immigration laws, focusing on deporting violent criminals but including all individuals here illegally. Border czar Tom Homan has stated families must make difficult decisions about remaining together or separating during deportation.
While federal data cites 7.8 million illegal migrants in the U.S., some estimates place the total closer to 20 million. These disparities highlight the challenges of addressing illegal immigration nationwide.
Homan has argued that enforcing immigration laws uniformly is essential to maintaining public trust in the system.
