'Aiding and abetting': Congressman threatens to defund California over plan to defy Trump

The article discusses a conflict between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Republican Congressman Tom McClintock over California's plan to defy former President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

The contention highlights the ongoing tension between state and federal powers regarding immigration enforcement.
