The SacBee reported:
Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year-old attorney and immigrant rights activist, will serve on the California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory Committee. The committee advises the California Student Aid Commission on efforts to increase college access for California students from low-income or underserved communities.
“While Donald Trump fixates on walls, California will continue to concentrate on opportunities,” de León said in a news release. “Ms. Mateo is a courageous, determined and intelligent young woman who at great personal risk has dedicated herself to fight for those seeking their rightful place in this country.”
In a statement, Mateo said she welcomed the opportunity. “While undocumented students have become more visible in our state, they remain underrepresented in places where decisions that affect them are being made,” she said.
Also according to Kevin de Leon’s office, Mateo is from Oaxaca, Mexico and came to the U.S. with her parents when she was 14.
Kevin de Leon is a Democrat who previously called President Trump very vindictive after AG Sessions ripped California for their exploding population of illegal aliens.
More lawlessness from the state of California.
This announcement from Kevin de Leon’s office comes on the heels of the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the state of California for their dangerous sanctuary city policies.
President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton reacted to the appointment of an illegal alien to a statewide post in California:
“Undocumented immigrant” appointed to state post in California. Absolute lawlessness that places the public and our nation at risk. https://t.co/agv7nlYWJM
