California Politics and Analysis
This week, President Trump made his first visit to California since taking office. He examined wall prototypes at the U.S.-Mexico border and criticized Gov. Jerry Brown and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for their stances on immigration policy. Also this week, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman resigned, saying he did not want to be responsible for spreading falsehoods on behalf of the Trump administration. Plus, state lawmakers appointed the first undocumented immigrant to a statewide office, according to Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León's office.
