Ned Lamont said he is setting aside $5 million to support immigrants who have lost their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Last month, the Supreme Court terminated the status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants.
Advocates say thousands of those immigrants are now ineligible to work and are at risk of detention and deportation.
Lamont said he will pull money from a state response fund meant to cover the Trump administration’s budget cuts.
That would leave more than $260 million in the state's response fund.
