Governor Newsom’s FY 2026-27 proposed budget will strip full-scope Medi-Cal from approximately 200,000 immigrants who are survivors of domestic violence, trafficking and other traumas. Despite being framed as a new federal policy, this proposal would reverse multiple decades-long state commitments, enshrined in state law, to care for these populations. California policymakers must act now to protect these vulnerable populations and maintain Medi-Cal coverage for all immigrants.
