Elias: Trump harming own stated goals with forestry cuts in California
Briefly

President Trump's recent decisions, particularly the termination of 20 immigration judges in San Diego, will exacerbate existing issues in California, such as backlogged immigration cases and increased numbers of undocumented immigrants. Additionally, his past assertions about forest management as a solution for wildfires clash with the reality that the federal government owns most public lands in California. This contradiction could worsen the upcoming fire season, undermining his ongoing narrative blaming the state for poor environmental management.
"The abrupt firing of 20 judges from immigration courts in San Diego will lead to a backlog of cases and increase the number of undocumented immigrants in custody."
"Trump's actions may worsen California's fire season, countering his stated priorities on forest management and wildfire prevention, controlled largely by federal agencies."
