California sues the Trump administration to challenge the legality of a new 'public charge' rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who receive public aid.

Attorney Lizbeth Mateo, brought from Mexico to the U.S. at age 14, will work to increase college access for students from Californias underrepresented communities.

California Governor Jerry Browns revised budget proposal includes an extra $15 million to expand legal services for people facing deportation, which would increase the total to $33 million for legal services for immigrants. The budget also includes $3 million for unaccompanied minors and $15 million for the One California project, which helps immigrants in the state apply for naturalization and for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative. Other states would be wise to follow Californias lead.
