Immigration: Budget and Detention

immigration: The state's 125 billion budget which is set to be approved Thursday has a related measure to prevent local governments from signing contracts with federal authorities for immigration detention facilities or expanding existing contracts, according to Metro News. It would also have the state attorney general review conditions at immigration detention facilities in California. California is aiming to quash the growth of immigration detention in the state under a proposed budget measure to push back against the Trump administration's plans to boost deportations. I think we send a very clear message in this budget that California is going in the opposite direction of Trump's administration, said Sen. The budget was negotiated by Gov. Ricardo Lara, a Democrat.
