A new federal report released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families reveals that California gets 80% of the federal funding for Illegal Immigrant Families.
More than $617 million in taxpayer-funded cash welfare went to California households headed by illegal immigrant parents last year.
In 2024, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families basic assistance was provided to more than 85,000 child-only households headed by a parent excluded from the assistance unit because of immigration status, and California was the primary driver of the national total, accounting for about 59,600 households and about $617.5 million, or roughly 81% of nationwide spending on these cases.

A social advocacy group is suing the San Diego Police Department for mislabeling police complaints in order to sidestep review by the independent Commission on Police Practices.
The San Diego Police Department has categorized nearly 80% of all complaints against officers as “miscellaneous,” thereby keeping the complaints from being reviewed by the commission, alleges a writ of mandate newly filed by the Pillars of the Community, a San Diego-based advocacy group, and local advocate Tasha Williamson.

Mayor Todd Gloria just signed the budget to tackle the city’s $118 million deficit, and he’s not happy about it.
“While I disagree with several of the Council’s adjustments, I will sign this budget,” he said in a press release.
After months of tense negotiations, Gloria and the City Council somehow managed to get a final budget passed this week without a veto showdown.
