According to NBC news, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced last week that he would convene a special session of the state legislature from December 2 to focus on “protecting California’s fundamental values ​​and rights” such as civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action and immigrant families from “attacks from the incoming Trump administration.” Mr. Newsom also affirmed that he would strengthen California’s legal resources to be ready to respond to “possible illegal actions or federal litigation in the future” initiated by the new Trump administration .

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey made a similar statement, saying she would “absolutely not support” the Trump administration in implementing plans for mass deportations. In New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy expressed support for Ms. Healey, stressing that mass deportations are contrary to the state’s values ​​and that they will “fight to the death.” Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker pledged to fight “anyone who comes to strip people of their freedom, opportunity, and dignity” in his state. Mr. Pritzker called Illinois “a sanctuary for people who are denied rights elsewhere,” including those seeking political asylum, reproductive health care, or to avoid persecution because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul has assembled a team of experts to develop strategies to protect the state from potential policy threats when Mr. Trump takes office in January 2025. The “blue” state leaders have shown Democrats’ determination to fight what they believe are “harmful” policies during the transition after Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Mr. Trump in this year’s presidential election. In contrast, Mr. Trump has criticized California Gov. Newsom for trying to destroy the state and used the term “Trump immunity” as a way to “stop all the great things that could be done.” In a recent interview with NBC, the Republican said that his pledge to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants was “a no-brainer.” “We really have no choice. When people are killing and murdering, when drug lords are destroying countries, they have to go back to those countries because they’re not supposed to be here,” Mr. Trump stressed.
