California Bipartisan Lawmakers Propose Immigration Principles Amid Federal Tensions

California lawmakers continue efforts to reform immigration policy, with the Problem Solvers Caucus proposing principles that include a path to legal status for undocumented workers, due process protections, and a secure border amid concerns over ICE raids affecting immigrant communities. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans narrowly passed President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' removing a controversial provision to sell millions of acres of public lands, signaling rare bipartisan cooperation on environmental issues, as advocates hope this momentum can foster further cross-party conservation efforts. Additionally, California Assemblymember James C. Ramos highlighted the state budget's focus on public safety, housing affordability, and strengthening relationships with Native American tribes, including significant investments in military retiree pension exemptions and foster care support. The diverse legislative activities reflect ongoing challenges and collaborative attempts to address immigration, environmental conservation, and social welfare in California under the current administration.
