‘Stop this insanity’: Angel mom rips Newsom, Dems for bill to use taxpayer dollars for illegals’ defense
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California Angel Mom Agnes Gibboney, who lost her son in an illegal alien-involved shooting, is blasting Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Democrats over a proposed bill that would use taxpayer dollars to fund legal defense for immigrants facing deportation. She urged voters to «stop this insanity.»
State lawmakers are considering a proposal that would expand access to taxpayer-funded legal representation for immigrants facing deportation proceedings. The measure would build on existing state programs by creating a framework to provide attorneys to adults in immigration court, regardless of legal status, with priority given to those in detention. This comes as California, and other sanctuary states across the country, are facing increasing pressure and scrutiny from the Trump administration for allegedly prioritizing illegal aliens over citizens.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Gibboney, whose son, Ronald, was shot and killed by an illegal alien, ripped into Newsom and California Democrats over the bill. She claimed that it is further proof that they care for illegal immigrants more than citizens.
«My son was murdered,» she said. «Not one politician has ever contacted me. Not one politician said, ‘I’m so sorry that this previously deported criminal illegal alien shot and killed your son.’ Not one of them.»

Gibboney said that since losing her son in 2002, she sent Newsom «many, many emails,» and «never once did I get a response, not even from his office, much less from Newsom.»
Newsom has not signaled whether he would sign the bill into law. He previously signed legislation that created and expanded a state-funded legal aid program to ensure legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children in deportation proceedings.
Ronald da Silva, 29, the son of a law enforcement official, was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant gang member while standing in his driveway.
Gibboney asserted that «Newsom doesn’t care about citizens of this country, about legal immigrants like myself. He cares about free votes from illegal aliens.»
Regarding the legal defense bill, Gibboney said she is «outraged.»
«California is about three to 400 billion, with a ‘B,’ dollars in debt. How is that possible? How much more can you milk us citizens?» she railed.
Meanwhile, for citizens, she said, «everything has gotten worse» under Newsom.

«We have the highest tax in the entire country, we have the highest cost of living, the most homeless,» she said, adding, «We are number one on everything, and nothing number one in good things, it’s always on the bad things.»
«We taxpayers keep paying more and more each year for taxes just so our government, actually Gavin Newsom, can hand it out and squander our tax dollars and give it to illegal aliens.»
The bill, introduced by Democratic Assembly member Mia Bonta in February, advanced out of two Assembly policy committees and is currently under review in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
In addition to Gibboney, the bill has garnered significant outrage, including from the American Border Story, a group that advocates on behalf of the families of victims of migrant crime. Earlier this month, the group condemned the measure as «a grave affront to Angel Families across the country who have suffered immeasurable loss at the hands of foreign criminals.» The group asserted that the bill «actively incentivizes illegal immigration and directly undermines the progress achieved by the Trump administration since the President’s second inauguration.»
At the same time, the bill has been lauded by some, such as Abraham Bedoy, manager of California policy and government affairs for the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. Bedoy said in a March statement that «increasing immigrant legal defense is critical to address the mass deportations, unprecedented numbers of people held in detention, and indiscriminate arrests devastating families, communities, and our economy across our state.»
He called the measure «another important step in our state’s strong trajectory towards universal legal representation.»

While the bill does not explicitly outline all its exclusions, existing California policy suggests some immigrants with certain criminal histories could be excluded or deprioritized under any expanded program. California has already moved to limit state-funded legal aid in certain immigration cases, particularly for individuals with serious or violent felony convictions.
Bonta, who represents the Oakland area, framed her bill as ensuring «every Californian’s right to a fair hearing.»
In a March statement, Bonta’s office said the bill «builds on» her earlier bill to expand access to counsel for unaccompanied minors and other young immigrants in removal proceedings. That bill was signed into law by Newsom last year.
«Every person deserves their day in court, with a lawyer by their side. In California, thousands of our neighbors are being swept into one of the most complex legal systems in the country, often in a second language, without an attorney or a fair shot,» she said in a March statement.
She decried the Trump administration’s «mass deportation machine,» saying it is «accelerating that injustice.»
«[The bill] represents California’s chance to stand up for our values: a commitment to due process, dignity, and the principle that justice shouldn’t depend on what you can afford,» said Bonta.
Gibboney, however, said California should «use that money appropriately.»
«Use it for our education, which is failing… Use it for the veterans for better healthcare and for the seniors for better healthcare,» she suggested.
She urged Newsom to «recall his oath of office is to serve us, the public, we the people, not those that broke into our country and came here illegally.»

«Ronald was my firstborn and only son. He was 29 years old, a father of two. They were 8 and 10,» she shared. «The media usually doesn’t talk about that kind of family separations, six feet of dirt in a coffin. But they talk about the ones that are deported to their country, where they can go back and visit and be reunited. I can never be reunited with my son.»
While expressing she is grateful that Newsom is term-limited, Gibboney urged California voters to vote to «stop this insanity,» saying, «Yesterday it was my son that was shot by a previously deported criminal illegal alien. Tomorrow it could be your child.»

Elecciones en Perú: crece el temor de que un resultado apretado impida determinar el ganador y dispare un conflicto
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Friday announced a major expansion of his administration’s initiative aimed at helping Americans access discounted prescription medications.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said the government-backed website TrumpRx.gov has added 160 prescription drugs, bringing the total number of discounted medications available through the program to more than 800.
«I am pleased to announce that TrumpRx.gov is adding another 160 Prescription Drugs, at highly discounted prices, for a new total of over 800 of the most commonly-used Prescription Drugs,» Trump wrote.
«TrumpRx.gov will now provide clear, transparent, and DISCOUNTED offerings for FOUR OUT OF FIVE of every prescription filled by Americans,» he added.

Trump unveiled the initiative in February, arguing that Americans have long paid more for prescription drugs than consumers in many other countries.
The website was launched after the administration finalized agreements with 16 major pharmaceutical companies under so-called «most-favored-nation» pricing arrangements.
Under the agreements, participating drugmakers received tariff-related exemptions while agreeing to lower prices for certain medications and extend discounted pricing to eligible cash-paying consumers through TrumpRx, according to the administration.

Companies including Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are participating in the program and have agreed to reduce prices on popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications.
Administration officials have also highlighted discounts on a range of other products, including inhalers, HIV treatments, diabetes medications and fertility drugs.
TrumpRx.gov allows users to search for discounted medications, view estimated savings and generate coupons for participating prescriptions.

Trump said the initiative builds on efforts from his first term to reduce prescription drug costs.
«I was proud to make History during my First Term when we lowered Drug Prices, even if by a tiny percentage, because this amounted to a HUGE change compared to other presidents only raising Drug Prices, endlessly and significantly, every year,» Trump wrote.
«Then, during my Second Term, I decided to go BIG with Most Favored Nations Pricing — That is to say, we pay no more or, ideally, less than any other Country for the same exact Drug,» he continued. «Now we are cutting Prices, and cutting them by a LOT, sometimes by 400 or 500 or 600 Percent!»

Trump also claimed the program has generated significant savings for consumers.
«These Most Favored Nations Deals have already, in fact, saved American Patients over 400 Million Dollars since the launch of TrumpRx.gov,» he said.
The president further argued that tariffs played a key role in securing the pricing agreements.
«Of course, Most Favored Nations would not be possible without my use of TARIFFS, which are getting other Countries to ‘pay up’ instead of relying on American Patients getting ripped off, as they were for decades until I ordered an immediate ‘stop’ to this very unfair and, frankly, foolish situation,» Trump wrote.

«This is all great news, and I have instructed my Administration to secure more Most Favored Nations Deals, more Partnerships, and Lower Prices for every American Patient,» he added.

Más allá de la mesa familiar: cuáles son los factores que influyen en lo que comen los niños, según la ciencia
Lo que un niño come en su casa rara vez depende de una sola decisión individual. La evidencia en salud pública y nutrición infantil coincide en que la alimentación está moldeada por factores del entorno, del tiempo disponible, del presupuesto, de la cultura familiar y de la presión comercial. Incluso cuando madres y padres quieren “hacerlo bien”, el contexto puede empujar hacia opciones más rápidas, más baratas o más presentes en la vida cotidiana.
Un marco clásico de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) sobre alimentación complementaria plantea, desde hace décadas, que mejorar la dieta infantil exige algo más que información: requiere identificar qué facilita y qué bloquea conductas saludables, incluyendo el acceso a alimentos adecuados y la posibilidad real de sostener rutinas de preparación y de alimentación seguras.
En la misma línea, revisiones más recientes sobre hábitos alimentarios infantiles describen que el hogar es un “nicho” donde influyen decisiones de compra, disponibilidad de productos, reglas familiares y, cada vez más, la exposición a marketing y a entornos escolares.
1) Precio y accesibilidad de los alimentos
El costo condiciona la lista de compras y, por lo tanto, lo que llega al plato. En hogares con presupuestos ajustados, el precio puede favorecer alimentos más calóricos y menos nutritivos, o reducir la diversidad. Una revisión sobre factores que influyen en las conductas alimentarias de niños señaló que los patrones de alimentación no dependen solo de preferencias: también del estatus socioeconómico, el entorno comunitario y la oferta disponible.
2) Tiempo real para comprar, cocinar y sentarse a comer
La falta de tiempo es una de las variables más subestimadas: determina si hay cocina “desde cero”, si se recurre a ultraprocesados o si se improvisa con lo que haya. En una revisión crítica sobre el sistema alimentario y la dieta infantil, se remarca que el entorno personal (hogar) y el externo (mercado, escuela, marketing) se combinan, y que el peso de cada factor cambia según la edad. En primera infancia, el hogar domina; luego, ganan terreno la escuela y el entorno comercial.
3) Disponibilidad en el hogar y “reglas” domésticas
Lo que está al alcance (fruta lavada, yogur, galletitas, gaseosas, snacks) tiene más probabilidad de consumirse. La misma revisión en PMC subraya que madres, padres o cuidadores actúan como “arquitectos” del entorno alimentario: compras, porciones, horarios, y exposición repetida a ciertos alimentos. Es un punto clave porque el niño no elige desde cero: elige dentro del marco que el hogar permite.
4) Cultura, normas familiares y contexto social
La comida no es solo nutrientes: es identidad, costumbre, formas de crianza y expectativas. Las tradiciones pueden favorecer platos caseros y horarios estructurados o, por el contrario, naturalizar el picoteo constante. La OMS, en su guía clásica sobre alimentación complementaria, insiste en prácticas como alimentación receptiva (responder señales de hambre y saciedad, sin forzar), higiene y progresión de texturas, pero también aclara que su implementación requiere adaptar mensajes a alimentos culturalmente aceptables y accesibles, además de identificar barreras locales.
5) Marketing, escuela y presión del entorno
A medida que crecen, los niños están más expuestos a comedores escolares, kioscos, cumpleaños, redes y publicidad. La revisión de Nutrition Research Reviews menciona el papel del marketing y del entorno escolar dentro del “entorno alimentario externo”, que puede empujar hacia productos de alta densidad calórica. No es un detalle: el marketing no solo influye en el niño, también incide sobre el adulto que compra, al instalar productos como “adecuados” o “necesarios”.
El punto central es que la alimentación infantil se construye en capas: intenciones (querer dar lo mejor), condiciones materiales (tiempo y dinero) y entorno (oferta, publicidad, escuela) tiran del mismo hilo. Por eso, la solución suele combinar acciones domésticas y de política pública: desde mejorar la disponibilidad de opciones saludables en casa hasta entornos escolares con mejores ofertas y reglas claras sobre marketing dirigido a niños.
Cuando el foco se corre de la culpa individual a los determinantes reales, aparece una pregunta más útil: qué palancas son modificables en cada familia y en cada comunidad (organización de compras, planificación simple, disponibilidad de “opciones puente”, acuerdos familiares) y cuáles requieren apoyo externo (precios, acceso, regulación, comedores).
