Sacramento, CA
When the California legislature gaveled in for a new, two-year session, a little more than a week ago, representatives laid a “groundwork of resistance” to potential threats made by President-elect Donald Trump. Legislators did so by announcing a series of bills that would provide attorneys to immigrants who are in the country illegally; refuse to give assistance the federal government with the implementation of any proposed registry of Muslim immigrants; and required that any wall built along the state’s border with Mexico must first be approved by California voters. How successful these actions will be in regards to slowing and/or blocking policies Trump promised to implement if elected, is undetermined.
