California Gov. Gavin Newsom is advancing a plan designed to push back against President Donald Trump’s plans for large-scale deportations. The proposal, known as the “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” aims to provide illegal migrants with resources to avoid deportation.
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.

According to reports, the program would establish regional hubs to connect migrants with services such as legal assistance, schools, and labor unions. These hubs would be managed by the California Department of Social Services and funded with state resources. Nonprofits would receive funding for staffing, outreach, and administration costs.
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 cost of the program has not been disclosed, though the Newsom administration is working to finalize funding before Trump’s inauguration. “The administration continues to collaborate with the Legislature,” department spokesperson Theresa Mier stated.

Critics point out California’s heavy reliance on federal funding, totaling more than $100 billion annually. Some argue that the state should lose access to these funds if it continues to resist federal immigration enforcement.
The Trump administration, led by border czar Tom Homan, plans to target violent criminals first but has also made it clear that families with U.S.-born children will not be exempt from deportation. Homan stated that parents entered the country illegally knowing the potential consequences.
Current federal data shows approximately 7.8 million illegal migrants live in the U.S. — many claim numbers as high as 20 million.
