As Wildfires Rage, California Dems Want $50 Million to Protect Illegals From Deportation

Yet, as the state faces one of the most expensive wildfire disasters in history, California Democrats are proposing to allocate $50 million from the state budget to fund litigation against the incoming Trump administration and protect illegal migrants from deportation.
