CA Governor and LA Mayor Defy the Laws They Once Swore to Uphold

Legal Insurrection   "So, how do you stop a riot when the people responsible for maintaining order are standing with the rioters?"  You had your chance, California, to get rid of this albatross, but you overwhelmingly chose to keep him. TD

"Fox News contributor Guy Benson noted he had not seen a single shot of the riots that didn’t feature Mexican flags, f-words, or people hurling objects at law enforcement officers."

"What began as outrage over ICE raids spiraled into two days of chaos, with protesters torching vehicles, attacking officers with rocks, and firing explosives at a federal building by Saturday night.

"So, how do you stop a riot when the people meant to maintain order are standing with the rioters? What happens when the city’s mayor and the state’s governor abdicate their responsibilities for public safety and defy the laws they once swore to uphold?

"Well, there should be consequences. And, on Saturday evening, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a stark warning: “It doesn’t matter if you’re a judge, a member of Congress, or a protestor in Los Angeles: If you obstruct or assault a law enforcement officer, this Department of Justice will prosecute you.”

Newsom Dares Border Czar Tom Homan: ‘Arrest Me. Let’s Go’   . . ."The so-called “protestors” are demanding the release of each individual whom ICE has arrested over the past week. As of 6 p.m. on Sunday night, 11 illegals had been apprehended and a Fox News panel described them as “the worst of the worst.” One of the detainees, for example, was facing charges of battery to spouse, willful cruelty to a child, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, and driving under the influence. Others were charged with second-degree murder, sexual battery, and child abuse.

"Newsom is well aware that the illegal immigrants rounded up by ICE in Los Angeles over the past several days are not “these poor people” who are “just trying to live their lives man, paying their taxes.” They are not the individuals we want in our country.

"The governor—along with most legacy media outlets—has described the protests as “mostly peaceful.” I suppose, if one considers throwing rocks and projectiles at ICE officials, setting cars on fire, and blockading a federal building to be peaceful activities, then that characterization would be appropriate." . . .
