“… advocates worry the proposal doesn’t do enough to protect those who are detained amid immigration proceedings.
“… “Trump’s promise to use militarized raids against our state will have devastating consequences for our communities and our economy,” said Hamid Yazdan-Panah, advocacy director for Immigrant Defense Advocates.
“… A fact sheet obtained by The Times, titled “Immigrant Support Network Concept,” offers few details about Newsom’s proposal, which is under review. Under the plan, the California Department of Social Services would establish regional hubs to connect “at-risk individuals, their families and communities” with legal services, labor unions, local governments and other resources.
“… Hamid Yazdan-Panah said his and other advocacy organizations prefer a plan put forth by the state Senate, which includes funding for lawyers to represent detained immigrants as they go through immigration proceedings. Detention is anticipated to increase as Trump carries out mass deportation plans, and federal officials are eyeing a new facility in California.
“… The state Senate proposal, meanwhile, seeks funding beyond the $25 million sought by Newsom for legal aid services related to issues of reproductive health, climate, LGBTQ+ rights and immigrant rights.
“… Senate Budget Chair Scott Wiener’s proposed legislation seeks $60 million and would establish a program for representation of detained immigrants.
