In the early weeks of President Trump's second term, reports reveal that Californians caught in immigration raids are primarily supportive family members and not the criminals portrayed. Interviews with those affected show individuals deeply integrated into their communities, raising fears surrounding the crackdown. In response, Governor Gavin Newsom's administration has pledged $25 million to help immigrants legally contend with these proceedings. This suggests a severe disconnect between the expectations of enforcement and the experience of those impacted by immigration policies.
"The people CalMatters interviewed about the raids across California suggested those swept up in them are dedicated family members and employees, their lives deeply woven into their communities."
"Last week Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law legislation allocating $25 million to provide immigrants with legal services to fight immigration proceedings against them."
