Deve trascorrere in carcere il tempo come un normale cittadino

 @94WL54Canswered…2yrs2Y

they would be imprisoned like other people

 @94NHW4Lanswered…2yrs2Y

No, dovrebbero scontare una pena in carcere

 @94MGBLZanswered…2yrs2Y

non ha senso rimandare al proprio paese un immigrato per un reato grave, ha invece senso processarlo come qualsiasi altra persona e fargli scontare la propria pena

 @945SYCZanswered…3yrs3Y

They’re just like us, so I’m my opinion, they should be punished the same way as we are.

 @92CDR4Tanswered…3yrs3Y

No, unless their advised prison time is over ten years

Gavin Newsom Defends Immigrants With $25 Million

Governor Newsom signed legislation allocating $50 million total to protect California's policies from Trump administration challenges and defend immigrants facing deportation, split evenly between the state's DOJ and legal defense groups.The funding comes as California anticipates renewed conflicts with Trump's administration, following over 100 legal actions against his first term policies on issues including climate, water, and immigration.Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas justified the funding by characterizing the Trump administration as "out-of-control" and threatening to Californians' constitutional rights.The signing occurred just after Newsom's Washington visit to secure federal disaster aid for January's devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which claimed more than two dozen lives.California recently enacted a separate $2.5 billion fire relief package, with expectations of federal reimbursement for disaster response costs.Republican lawmakers criticized the legal defense funding as a political distraction from wildfire recovery efforts, with State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones calling it a "slush fund."Critics raised concerns about the possibility of funds being used to defend immigrants with serious felony convictions, though Newsom indicated this wasn't the intended purpose.The legislation emerged from a special session Newsom called shortly after Trump's election in November, demonstrating California's proactive stance against anticipated federal challenges.During Trump's first term, California initiated more than 120 lawsuits against his administration, spending approximately $42 million on legal battles.Annual legal expenses fighting federal policies during Trump's first term ranged from $2 million to nearly $13 million per year.
