California Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s administration is now scrambling to implement new plans to aid illegal migrants avoid deportation when President Donald Trump takes office next year.
According to an internal memo within the Newsom administration, the administration proposes the “creation of an Immigrant Support Network comprised of regional ‘hubs’ to connect at-risk individuals, their families, and communities with community systems—such as legal services, schools, labor unions, local governments, etc.”
That’s right, the Newsom is planning to defy the president of the United States and keep criminal illegal aliens in his state.

The New York Post reports:
A spokesperson for the governor’s office told The Post that the memo appears to be a “preliminary” document drafted at the “department-level” and that it has not been reviewed by Newsom.
“This document is an internal and deliberative draft document meant for internal discussions as part of a number of possible considerations given the incoming federal administration’s public remarks,” Scott Murray, a spokesperson for California’s Department of Social Services — the agency that drafted the memo — told The Post Tuesday.
“It is not a final proposal,” he added.
The Department of Social Services is still gauging interest in the proposed program, according to Politico, and determining when it could be implemented.
If the plan is finalized, it will be announced in mid-January, according to the outlet.
Meanwhile, Newsom convened a special session to secure $25 million to fund potential lawsuits against the incoming Trump administration.

Fox News reports:
The draft is part of an effort by California leaders to prepare for a second Trump administration. After Trump was elected, Newsom called a special legislative session and talked of a $25 million “Trump-proof” legal defence fund.
In addition, state lawmakers were lobbying for additional funds.
Senate Budget Chair Scott Wiener proposed legislation seeking $60 million, including funds to create an immigrant detention representation and coordination program, Politico reported.
Under the draft, the state Social Services Department would give state funds to eligible nonprofits and take on administrative duties for the hubs.
The draft does not indicate how much funding the plan requires. However, it said the funds would go toward “community outreach, partnership, legal services staffing positions, and approved administrative costs associated with hub operations,” the Politico report said.
