加州扩大移民法律援助：2026至27年度投入1.93亿美元，社区伙伴已连接逾50万人
位于加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托县的州府萨克拉门托，加州州长办公室10月31日发布消息：随着联邦移民执法力度加大，加州正深化扩大法律支持的努力，包括为农场工人及其家庭提供帮助。州长办公室称，社区伙伴迄今已为50多万名加州居民连接上重要支持。
州府资助的移民相关法律服务与地区社区支持计划已触及50多万人，帮助家庭、工人和商家了解自身权利、找到可信资源，应对日益复杂的移民难题。加州正扩大其可信社区信息传递者与法律服务提供者网络，帮助更多人获得合格的法律援助，并支持被移民与海关执法局（ICE）逮捕和拘留影响的家庭。
州长加文·纽森说：“联邦执法力度加大带来了恐惧和不确定性，而加州正在加紧行动——提供真正的法律帮助、值得信赖的社区合作伙伴，并在家庭最需要的时候给予支持。加州不会对移民家庭撒手不管。在这个国家，没有人是没有权利的。我们正在让人们获得事实、法律帮助和支持，以保护自己的权利、维系家庭团聚。”
2026至27年度州预算拨出1.93亿美元支持面临移民相关事务的家庭。这笔资金用于地区移民服务，并将移民相关法律服务的支持提高一倍以上，重点扩大非营利法律服务的能力，帮助身处ICE拘留中的加州居民。
具体措施包括：扩大针对拘留的法律辩护响应，改善在移民法庭上获得法律代理的机会，包括一项新的“当日律师”试点；在服务不足的农村地区通过移民法律研究员计划增加法律服务能力；为儿童提供服务；以及一项新试点——当非营利机构满负荷时，引入可信的私人移民律师，让更多加州居民在面对拘留和遣返时获得合格的法律支持。
州府还将新增一项投资，为农场工人及其家庭提供专门的免费法律援助。该计划将与加州劳工与劳动力发展局的工人外展伙伴合作扩大触及，支持这一较为脆弱的劳动群体及其家庭。
居民可获得的帮助包括三类：了解自身权利的教育、家庭应急预案资源，以及医疗、法律和社会服务的连接；合格的法律帮助，包括为遣返程序中的人和ICE拘留中的人提供协助；以及为工人和小型企业主提供的信息与支持。法律帮助可由非营利机构提供，详情可查加州移民资源页面。
州长办公室同时提醒居民记住三点：你有权保持沉默，可以表明自己选择保持沉默并要求与律师交谈，无须回答关于移民身份或出生地的问题，不要逃跑、撒谎或出示虚假文件；移民执法人员一般不能在没有司法令状的情况下进入你的住所，可要求对方出示令状，法官签署的令状与移民行政令状不同，不要以身体抵抗执法人员；你有权寻求法律顾问，被拘留时可要求与律师交谈，不要签署自己不理解或未与法律顾问审阅过的文件。
州长办公室还建议家庭提前制定应急计划：确定可信的紧急联系人，安排好儿童及其他受抚养人的照护，并将重要文件和电话号码存放在安全之处。目击联邦执法人员涉嫌违法行为的居民，可通过加州司法部举报门户提交信息、照片和视频；若有人身处即时危险或认为有犯罪正在发生，应拨打911。
州参议院临时议长莫妮克·利蒙（Monique Limón）表示，州参议院已通过数十项法案并为服务受影响社区的机构纳入资源；州众议院议长罗伯特·里瓦斯（Robert Rivas）表示，加州已把数百万美元的法律服务送达全州各个角落；州参议员、拉丁裔立法党团主席莉娜·冈萨雷斯（Lena Gonzalez）表示，该党团与州长及两院领导合作，已争取到超过1亿美元用于法律援助和其他移民资源。
州长办公室称，纽森近日还签署了一揽子立法，涉及移民拘留、执法透明度、民权、州设施、公共记录、家庭服务以及加州民事拘留设施的监督。自2019年以来，加州已通过非营利法律服务提供者网络，帮助居民应对移民法律程序，并持续扩大针对拘留的法律帮助。

California Expands Immigration Legal Help: $193 Million in the 2026–27 Budget, Community Partners Reach Over 500,000 People
In Sacramento, the capital city in Sacramento County, California, the Governor's Office said on October 31 that, as federal immigration enforcement intensifies, California is deepening efforts to expand legal support, including for farmworkers and their families. Community partners have connected more than 500,000 Californians with vital support to date, the office said.
More than half a million Californians have been reached through state-funded immigration-related legal services and regional community support initiatives, helping families, workers and business owners understand their rights, find trusted resources and navigate increasingly complex immigration challenges. California is expanding its network of trusted community messengers and legal service providers to help more people access qualified legal assistance and support families targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests and detention.
"While increased federal enforcement creates fear and uncertainty, California is stepping up—with real legal help, trusted community partners and support for families when they need it most. California will not turn its back on immigrant families. No one in this country is without rights. We're getting people the facts, the legal help, and the support they need to protect their rights and keep their families together," Governor Gavin Newsom said.
The 2026–27 state budget provides $193 million to support families with immigration-related services. The funding supports regional immigration services and more than doubles support for immigration-related legal services, with an expanded focus on building the capacity of nonprofit legal services and strategies to help Californians in ICE detention.
The efforts aim to expand legal defense response to detentions, improve access to legal representation for Californians in immigration court, including a new "attorney of the day" pilot, increase legal capacity in rural underserved areas through immigration fellows, provide services for children, and advance a new pilot so more Californians have qualified legal support in the face of detention and deportation by expanding nonprofit legal capacity with trusted private immigration attorneys when nonprofits are at capacity.
A new investment will also provide dedicated free legal assistance to farmworkers and their families. The initiative will partner with the Labor and Workforce Development Agency's worker outreach partners to maximize reach and collaboration, supporting this vulnerable workforce and their families.
Help available includes Know Your Rights education, family preparedness planning resources and connections to health, legal and social services; qualified immigration legal services, including assistance for people in removal proceedings and those in ICE detention; and information and support for workers and small business owners. Legal help may be available from nonprofit organizations; details are on the California immigration resources page.
The Governor's Office reminded residents of three points: you have the right to remain silent and may ask to speak with a lawyer, and you do not have to answer questions about your immigration status or place of birth—do not run, lie, or present false documents; you generally do not have to let immigration agents into your home without a judicial warrant, and a warrant signed by a judge is different from an immigration administrative warrant—do not physically resist agents; and you have the right to seek legal counsel—if detained, ask to speak with a lawyer, and do not sign documents you do not understand or have not reviewed with legal counsel.
Families are advised to make a plan before an emergency: identify trusted emergency contacts, arrange care for children and other dependents, and keep important documents and phone numbers somewhere safe. Californians who witness potentially unlawful conduct by federal agents can submit information, photographs and video through the California Department of Justice reporting portal; anyone in immediate danger, or who believes a crime is occurring, should call 911.
Senate President pro Tem Monique Limón said the State Senate has passed dozens of bills and included resources for organizations helping affected communities. Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas said California has delivered millions of dollars in legal services to every corner of the state. Senator Lena Gonzalez, chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus, said the caucus worked with the Governor and leadership in both houses to secure over $100 million for legal aid and other immigration resources.
The Governor's Office said Newsom recently signed a package of legislation addressing immigration detention, enforcement transparency, civil rights, state facilities, public records, family services and oversight of civil detention facilities in California. Since 2019, California has helped residents navigate the immigration legal process through a network of nonprofit legal service providers, and has continued to expand legal help for people in ICE detention.
