The other, SBX1-2, provides funding for “legal services to vulnerable persons at risk of detention, deportation, [or] eviction” — in other words, to illegal aliens. Both were introduced by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco).
"The bills were passed earlier this week. Newsom waited until his visit in Washington was over, and until a Friday afternoon — when many people have left work and are less likely to notice the news — to sign the spending into law.
"In a signing statement attached to SBX1-2, Newsom says that none of the funding is to be used for illegal immigrants “convicted of serious of violent felonies.” However, nothing in the text of the bill says that.
"Newsom is seeking billions of dollars in federal aid to clean up and rebuild devastated communities. Breitbart News made the point during President Trump’s visit to Pacific Palisades that the administration should appoint a “Special Master,” along the lines of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, to ensure that California spends any aid properly, given that the state believed it had money available to spend on fighting Trump.

He noted that the wildfires have drawn attention to the rising crime problem in California, asserting that criminals have exploited the situation.
"Jones said, “For too long, criminals have run rampant in Newsom’s California, and now we’re seeing the devastating consequences,” adding, “From arsonists igniting fires to shameless looters preying on fire victims, this crime wave has only deepened the stress on our already overwhelmed communities.”
