A California Assembly committee chairman canceled the planned first hearing in a special "Trump-proof" session due to wildfires ravaging his legislative district.
The committee's chairman, Democratic Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, represents one of the districts impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires and is currently under evacuation orders. Democrats were previously hoping to have legislation passed by Inauguration Day. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
State lawmakers also made changes to legislation connected to former President Trump on Friday as the Los Angeles wildfires continue to ravage the region. They suggested creating a website to track lawsuits between California and the Trump administration, set guidelines for using $25 million in extra funding for the state Department of Justice’s legal battles, and proposed $25 million in grants for immigration services.
