Today, Rob held the first in a series of regional convenings and issued guidance on immigrants’ rights before Trump is sworn in.
In Donald Trump’s first presidency, we witnessed the cruel separation of families, increased deportations, and ugly anti-immigrant rhetoric. Before his second term has even started, Trump is already promising mass deportations, the deportation of U.S. citizens, and the end of birthright citizenship once he’s in office.
But Rob is already fighting back on behalf of California’s immigrant communities.
Today, the Attorney General hosted the first in a series of regional convenings with immigrant rights groups, elected officials, and others to share resources, hear concerns, and discuss ongoing efforts to protect immigrant families across our state.
His office also issued two sets of guidance to help immigrants in California understand their rights and protections under the law and avoid scams by those seeking to take advantage of the fear and uncertainty sparked by President-elect Trump.
In addition, the California Department of Justice updated its model policies and recommendations to help ensure public institutions like schools, hospitals, and courts know the best practices in avoiding the use of state and local resources to support civil immigration enforcement.
Rob knows that immigrants are the backbone of our communities, a driving force behind our economy, and an essential part of our history as a state. He is doing everything in his power to protect the rights and well-being of immigrants, and he WILL take legal action if the Trump administration breaks the law to enforce its extreme agenda.
