Public safety hinges on the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve — a bond that's been shredded by the reckless immigration quotas ordered by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. We will keep standing up for Californians against this administration's dangerous actions.

NEW REPORT from Forbes has revealed the Trump family has doubled its fortune—to a total of about $10 billion. For Donald Trump, his White House comeback has been “the most lucrative year of his life,” with POTUS raking in $3 billion, two-thirds of which came from cryptocurrency. trib.al/U2Sm4vo
