California Democrats delay 'Trump-proofing' votes after Republican amendments

(The Center Square) – California Democrats delayed votes on their “Trump-proofing” bills that would have provided $25 million for funding lawsuits against the federal government, and $25 million largely for illegal immigrant deportation defense.

Democrats cited the need to make the bills “airtight” and stepped back after Republicans proposed amendments that would have blocked use of the funds for legal defense of officials who are prosecuted for not complying with federal law enforcement, and for deportation defense of criminal illegal immigrants.
