He is asking his Democratic allies in the Legislature, who hold supermajorities in both chambers, to approve additional funding to the attorney general\u2019s office to prepare for a robust legal fight against anticipated federal challenges. <\/p>\n<p>California <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/general-news-c992f44856519c084d5c206c84dfe308\">sued the first Trump administration<\/a><\/span> more than 120 times to various levels of success. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to be caught flat-footed,\u201d Newsom said at a recent news conference. <\/p>\n<p>Trump often depicts California as representing all he sees wrong in America. Democrats, which hold every statewide office in California and have commanding margins in the Legislature and congressional delegation, outnumber registered Republicans by nearly 2-to-1 statewide. <\/p>\n<p>Trump called the Democratic governor \u201cNew-scum\u201d during a <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-california-coachella-nevada-arizona-newsom-4557c2f98ffc179178fe5b6ec5bcf8aa\">campaign stop in Southern California<\/a><\/span> and has relentlessly lambasted the Democratic stronghold over its large number of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, homeless population and thicket of regulations. <\/p>\n<p>Trump also waded into a water rights battle over the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/us-news-california-droughts-sacramento-4280a7db2d621117fd74500bf3b2c4d4\">endangered delta smelt<\/a><\/span>, a tiny fish that has pitted environmentalists against farmers and threatened to withhold federal aid to a state increasingly under threat from wildfires.

The state spent roughly $42 million in litigation costs during the first Trump administration, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>California is projected to face a $2 billion budget deficit next year, with bigger shortfalls ahead. Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, who sued the first Trump administration in 2017 when it tried to end a program to shield young immigrants from being deported, said lining up the funding now is \u201ca wise investment.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>California successfully clawed back $57 million between 2017 and 2018 after prevailing in <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/oag.ca.gov\/news\/press-releases\/attorney-general-becerra-sues-trump-administration-imposing-unlawful-new-grant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lawsuit<\/a><\/span> to block the Trump administration from putting immigration enforcement conditions on certain federal law enforcement grants.

But Trump has one possible advantage this time around: He was aggressive in nominating conservative jurists to federal courts at all levels, including the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/california-gavin-newsom-donald-trump-special-session-7657a45176c2928aa715acc169966559\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SACRAMENTO, Calif.
