California AG seeks more money to fight Trump
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) told state legislators on
Thursday that his office’s effort to fight the Trump administration is
straining an already-stretched budget.
In testimony before a state Senate Budget subcommittee, Becerra said the
Trump administration’s actions on the environment, immigration and
sanctuary cities have required his agency to respond in court.
“No one anticipated the extent to which federal executive actions would
impact the people of California and the Department of Justice. Who knew that
the federal government would play so fast and loose with the law and
taxpayers’ pocketbooks?” Becerra told senators.
After taking over the state Justice Department in January, Becerra has
joined or initiated several lawsuits challenging the Trump administration
over everything from an executive order banning travel from certain Muslim-
majority countries to changes to federal fuel efficiency standards in which
California agencies play a role.
On Thursday, Becerra suggested the next front in the legal war against the
Trump administration could come over the Republican plan to repeal and
replace the Affordable Care Act. In a statement after the House passed its
bill Thursday on a party-line vote, Becerra called healthcare a right.
“As California’s attorney general, I will use every legal tool at my
disposal to safeguard the healthcare the people of our state depend on,”
Becerra said.
The state budget proposal laid out by Gov. Jerry Brown (D) in January
allocated $858 million for Becerra’s Justice Department over the next
fiscal year, a small increase over the previous year’s budget. In testimony
, Becerra said he needed more to attract and keep qualified lawyers to
defend the state. | m********n
