I'm betting this got a shitload more scrutiny and rewriting/rewording by lawyers than the travel ban.TheReal_ND wrote:How the fuck does this sail through but a thirty day travel ban gets a million screeches from cat ladies? This is a borderline constitutional issue I thought.
That and also, this was not an Executive order it is rescinding an Executive Order. You can't challenge statutory authority when the change you want required that in the first place.Ph64 wrote:I'm betting this got a shitload more scrutiny and rewriting/rewording by lawyers than the travel ban.TheReal_ND wrote:How the fuck does this sail through but a thirty day travel ban gets a million screeches from cat ladies?

(Because of what happened with the travel ban... I'd bet they'll scrutinize everything from now on to ensure they don't get another travel ban saga happening)

The funds, greater than what Gov. Jerry Brown earmarked in May and which will be an ongoing allocation through 2020, will go to a coalition of legal services agencies, immigrant rights groups and faith-based organizations called One California.
The $30-million legal assistance program, run by the state Department of Social Services, was first assembled to help thousands of immigrants apply for naturalization and former President Obama’s deferred action programs. With the additional money, providers will now also be able to help immigrants fighting deportation or removal proceedings.
