California Passes Law Allowing Relatives to Care for Children of Deported Parents
The measure aims to prevent family separation in immigration enforcement cases.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a controversial bill permitting relatives to take temporary custody of children whose parents are deported.
Supporters say the law helps keep families together and shields children from entering the state foster care system.
Critics argue it may complicate immigration enforcement efforts, but officials maintain that the legislation prioritizes child welfare and family unity.
