California AG defies Trump on immigration, ignoring voter sentiment

California Attorney General Rob Bonta issues directives to state agencies to resist Trump’s mass deportation plans.
Bonta’s actions are based on California’s 2017 “California Values Act,” limiting local involvement in federal immigration enforcement.
Critics, including former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, argue Bonta’s policies attract illegal immigration and strain California’s finances.
A CBS News/YouGov poll shows 57% of Americans support mass deportations, contrasting Bonta’s stance.
The clash between state and federal immigration policies is expected to escalate under Trump’s presidency.
