California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been a vintner, a lieutenant governor and the mayor of San Francisco. Now it seems he may be able to add far-left financier to the list.
A recent expose by City Journal chronicles how Mr. Newsom’s government “granted approximately $1 billion to an army of nonprofits that has encouraged unchecked numbers of migrants to enter the country, fought deportation orders in the courts, and led street protests against [U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement].”
That’s in addition to the multimillion-dollar-per-year fraud Mr. Newsom is reportedly overseeing in his state’s In-Home Supportive Services Program, which City Journal covered last month, as well as homeless advocacy group funding fraud, which we featured in these pages a few weeks ago.
Since he took office in 2019, Mr. Newsom’s government has awarded huge immigrant-services-related contracts to far-left, anti-American organizations, according to the report.
In a 2024 Instagram video from one, Al Otro Lado, which has received more than $2 million from California since 2019, the group’s managing attorney for litigation said, “I honestly just believe that there’s no reason … why we should have borders.”
