Good to see this. But it is a shame that we have to keep spending money because of Trump atrocities!!



NEW: Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Trump administration rule that could drastically curb legal immigration "will be swiftly challenged and defeated in the courts." (link: https://abcn.ws/2z86GnX) abcn.ws/2z86GnX

Critics vowed to challenge the regulation in court, charging that it unfairly penalizes low-income immigrants -- particularly those of color -- and warned it would stoke fear in immigrant communities.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra called the rule "vile" and an "attack on families and lower income communities of color."

"It will harm our communities, schools, and workplaces by weaponizing essential healthcare, housing, and nutrition programs," he said in a tweet. Becerra also said he is "ready to take legal action to protect the rights of all Californians."
