California is quickly becoming the center of the resistance against President-elect Donald Trump's expected immigration policies. California legislators are already busy at work in an effort to, as governor Gavin Newsom has deemed it, "Trump-proof" California, which in practical terms aims to fortify California's legal and political position against expected federal challenges to state laws and initiatives.
On Wednesday, the state reaffirmed its commitment to protecting undocumented residents even further by issuing updated guidance and policies for public institutions to limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the updates, emphasizing the state's effort to safeguard immigrants' access to public spaces amid anticipated federal actions under the incoming Trump administration.
