On August 25, California Attorney General, Rob Bonta blamed President Trump for the state of California public schools.
“The Trump Administration upended school programs across the country when it recklessly withheld vital education funding just weeks before the school year was set to begin.”
On June 30, the state of California had their grant money frozen over their insistence in keeping a sanctuary status, and refusing to comply with immigration laws, and federal officers while they were conducting immigration sweeps and arresting illegal immigrants with outstanding warrants.
According to a report released on August 4, AG Bonta has spent an estimated $5,000,000 in lawsuits against the Trump Administration so far this year.
