California’s Migrant Hubs Plan Draws Federal Funding Scrutiny
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal to aid illegal migrants has sparked debate about the state’s reliance on federal dollars. Dubbed the “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” the plan seeks to help migrants avoid deportation under new federal policies.
CA Gov. Gavin Newsom knows his political future hinges on making the progressive left happy.
His nefarious and illegal plan to put illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens is nothing more than an appeal to open-border zealots.

The initiative calls for regional hubs to connect individuals with legal assistance, educational resources, and local organizations. California’s Department of Social Services would oversee the hubs, distributing state funds to nonprofits for operations and outreach.
Governor Newsom 60 Billion in the hole. Every principality that defies Trump will see their funding disappear. Newsom is gambling with California's future. Prioritizing illegals over citizens.

The Trump administration has outlined an aggressive immigration strategy, focusing on the removal of violent criminals but extending enforcement to all undocumented individuals. Border czar Tom Homan stressed that migrant families face difficult choices, but enforcement must remain consistent.
California, which relies heavily on federal support, could see challenges if its actions conflict with national immigration policies. The state currently receives over $100 billion in federal aid annually.
