In Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass signed an ‘executive declaration’ ordering every municipal department to be in compliance with the “sanctuary city ordinance” and to create a “preparedness plan” to block federal immigration enforcement.
She could have just called it a declaration of insurrection.
California was already infamous for its sanctuary city status, but Gov. Newsom and local officials like Mayor Bass are doubling down on ordering government employees, including local law enforcement, to protect illegal alien criminals and to confront federal law enforcement.
That can’t end well.
“I will never accept these unlawful and chaotic raids,” the Long Angeles mayor vowed and promised to “deploy every resource and tool available within the city” to protect illegal aliens and stop federal law enforcement from enforcing immigration law. Her ‘executive declaration’ also requests the “Police Commission, in collaboration with the Chief of Police, to incorporate, where appropriate, the community feedback and provide additional guidance to police officers on how to respond to situations involving federal immigration enforcement. “
Over a dozen local mayors had joined Bass at an event calling for an end to immigration enforcement. The attendees included Mayor Arturo Flores who had berated Marines deployed in Los Angeles and who had urged local police to stop ICE from arresting illegal aliens.
Mayor Flores of Huntington Park put out a statement targeting ICE and “urging law enforcement to investigate and intervene in any unauthorized operations that place public safety or civil liberties at risk.”
Flores and the rest of the city government passed a resolution ‘ordering’ ICE personnel to reveal their names. Huntington Park rolled out a HP With You program to aid illegal aliens and obstruct immigration enforcement.
Ventura Mayor Jeannette Sanchez-Palacios, another attendee at the Bass anti-immigration enforcement event, put out a letter urging residents to “report and document” ICE activities and referred them to the Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP). MICOP is a member of the ‘ICE Out of VC’ coalition alongside the local SEIU chapter, the Latinx Bar Association and pro-Hamas group CAIR. A key ‘ICE Out of VC’ activist urged local police to “stand up to protect our communities if ICE violates the law.”
When California politicians aren’t pressuring police officers to fight ICE, they’re turning to criminals to aid them in ending federal immigration enforcement.
Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez of Cudahy, who was also at the Bass event, went even further by appearing to rally violent street gangs to fight ICE. “You guys are all about territory, you tag everything up, and this is 18th Street and this is Florencia and now that your hood’s being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you.”
“I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles – 18th Street, Florencia. Where’s the leadership at?” she demanded of the two street gangs. The 18th Street gang has an estimated 30,000 members and is responsible for trafficking meth and cocaine, and numerous murders. The Florencia 13 gang is nearly as deadly and has been known to traffic in fentanyl.
“So don’t be trying to claim no block, no nothing if you’re not showing up right now trying to, like, help out and organize. I don’t want to hear a peep out of you once they’re gone, trying to claim that this is my block. This was not your block. You weren’t even here helping out. So whoever is the leadership over there just f***ing get your members in order,” the vice mayor demanded of two gangs that had already carried out the murders of police officers.
California elected officials have also taken to alerting illegal aliens of ICE operations.
“The City of Perris has received reports of ongoing ICE operations within the area. We urge all residents to remain calm, stay indoors when possible, and know your rights,” Mayor Michael Vargas posted on Facebook.
Other Southern California mayors remain committed to rejecting federal law enforcement.
“We made the determination as a city that we cannot have armed masked men who are not identifying themselves — who the federal government is refusing to confirm are federal agents — running around and conducting this type of activity that is dangerous and volatile,” Pasadena Mayor Victor M. Gordo complained.
“ICE has no place in Long Beach,” Mayor Rex Richardson declared and then wondered. “How do you defend your residents from your government?”
He blasted Long Beach Transit for a memo telling employees not to interfere with ICE operations. “That’s unacceptable,” he claimed. “Fear has no place on our transit system.”
Federal funds of course do.
What actually has no place in the Long Beach Transit system or anywhere in the country is the rejection of the law and the obstruction of federal law enforcement by local elected officials.
California Democrat politicians are moving toward the same kind of illegal conduct, aiding and abetting crimes, and obstructing law enforcement, that already led to the arrests of judges. Worse still, mayors like Bass and Flores, appear to be pushing city employees, including law enforcement, into confrontations with ICE, while others, like Sanchez-Palacios, are even recruiting criminals to fight ICE. This is not a difference of opinion, it’s an insurrection.
When signing her insurrection declaration, Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles said, “I just want to repeat the irony that I am going to sign an executive directive to help the city family understand how to protect the workforce and Angelenos from our federal government.”
Bass doesn’t seem to understand the definition of irony or of the United States of America.
Signing a declaration ordering all branches of the city government to block federal law enforcement isn’t irony: it’s insurrection.
California Mayors should be arrested and Charged with giving Aid and Cofort to the enemy and all get Life in Prison
That is probably what they are looking for, being arrested, as this kind of drama is all they have left. Permanent victimhood.
What the commie mayor and the entire state are doing is engaging in a de facto act of secession and an act of insurrection by publicly refusing to recognize the legal authority of the federal government to enforce federal immigration law within their state and encouraging violence against ICE agents
The eleven confederate states publicly declared they were seceding from union by their state legislatures voting to officially create an independent nation no longer under the jurisdiction of the federal government
Califormai is not officially seceding from the union but is doing it in a stealth manner by declaring their state a sanctuary against the enforcement of federal law.
Exactly right. Nothing definitive is going to happen until the SCOTUS once and for all declares that it is completely unconstitutional and illegal to declare or set up ANY “sanctuary” jurisdictions. If they don’t I want any red states and municipalities to declare sanctuaries for income taxes and firearms.
Correct.
They are committing a loud, deliberately obnoxious insurrection.
It’s time to bring out the Marines and Army and Air Force because they have crossed the line in the sand. Well ok, maybe not sand, maybe the line in the garbage on any LA street. Seriously, this can not be allowed to go unanswered.
You just quoted one of the definitions of “treason” for which the ultimate penalty is death. Well done.
This is exactly what is going on. Benedict Arnold never did half so evil.
Don’t forget all this incitement of violence. She calls them peaceful protests, America is eying these ‘protests’ as riots and violence. Life in prison is too good for them.
Arrest these miserable stupid criminal t ~_| r |} Z.
30 days in the electric chair for ALL Lie-beral Demonocrat politicians ! RINOs included.
Bring in the Marines and National Guard and authorize the use of deadly force. Start shooting these people and see how long they continue to resist. Seriously, shoot them.
We agree wholeheartedly.
They must NOT be allowed to continue with this insurrection.
They asked for it; let them have it.
If I recall, Lenin and Trotsky thought strategically about the timing of inciting civil war, after some earlier attempts misfired. I guess the Democrats think now is the time to incite a civil war for some reason. Or more likely, it is just dumb Commies, who are always trying to incite a revolution, without considering whether the timing is right.
They want an illegal alien voter base.
I think there are at least two major categories of things going on here. The Democrat Party seems to be imploding at a rapid speed. The entire elected officials of the Democrat party & attorneys know the jig is up, these totalitarians are at their do or die moment in time for taking over the USA,
So they don’t care if what they are doing seems not just out of touch but literally insane , it’s pedal to the metal now. You have major segments of the Democrat Party that are crooks or have participated and/or:
The cover ups, the sexual perverts, the shadow government people, the who released COVID scandal, pharmaceuticals shoving the shot down our throats scandal, the media always covers up for the Democrats scandal, open border scandal, the judicial gauntlet scandal, who was running the country scandal, the constant drum beat for violence from Democrats & media personalities against any sane opposition to their plans. They have skewed the 2020 election to put a man in the Oval Office that was not capable to his job. Amazingly I could actually go on but enough said, they are so crooked that they are screwed over multiple times over if they do not succeed in their take over. There is nothing they won’t do, NOTHING.
Given where this seems to be headed, it may take a declaration of martial law in these cities to clean out the Democrat mayors and their insurrection organizers, illegal alien street thugs, gang members, Antifa goons, Hamas supporters, cartel members working the illegal drug and human trafficking networks, United Front Work Dept operatives (CCP) who help fund and organize actions, NGO members who help fund and organize these street assaults, any LEOs supporting the Democrat-led violence, and others supporting the insurrection. Did I leave anyone out?
These Democrat-run “Sanctuary Cities” have become cesspools of criminality and insurrection. Put an end to them and bring back law & order as well as legitimate business opportunities for the communities.
We should not forget the Soros’ orgs who are behind much of this nonsense.
Soros should be doing life for Treason or Hanged for his War Crimes from WW II but one day he will be with Satan to suffer for eternity and even longer
This jackass so called mayor has completely abdicated her duties in so many ways that it is past time to remover her from her position!
Her next position should be of a lifetime of federal penitentiary lock up with zero possibility of parole.
“Mayor” Bass failed miserably when it came to dealing with the crisis (of HER own creation) with the fires and water (lack thereof) but that is a no nem’mind with respect to the federal issue she is now diving deeply into. Nor does she have a flying clue as to “The One” she has so foolishly decided to face off against. SHe does not understand history. at all. She will soon enough learn she has taken the decision to jump off the super-high diving board. So hugh up she can’t clearly see what is “down there”. It has not ye dawned upon her pea brain that THERE IS NO WATER IN THE POOL, just like the water reservoir SHE let go dry before the fires……
That SPLAT will be the stuff of legend. Maybe cll it “he Bass Pool Effect”?
Her utter naiveté will soon result in a shocking revelation. Better go get another big bag of popping corn…. its gonna be a grea show.
The reality is Bass, Newsome & all the brainless California Democrat politicians are all infact working undercover for Trump,
tick, tick, tick, every day people are changing their idea, seeing whats going on in other states, tax reduced, inflation, security, way of life and thinking why don’t we have this ….. ???
If Bass wants a civil war, she will be in for a surprise when the citizens show up to back up ICE – we out number her gangs by more than 1000+ : 1 and the citizens won’t take prisoners, including her.
Plomo has its uses. We certainly have sent enough to Ukraine.
Reading her palm, I sense a fentanyl OD in Her Honor’s future. Hmmm, short life line. …
What’s the bet there is a lot of money flowing from those gangs to the Democrap politicians around them to encourage the creation of favourable conditions for the gangs to operate in.
RICO the entire Californication Democrat Party, right down to the lowliest apparatchik.
Can’t wait for Commie Karen Bass-hole to be arrested for promoting and supporting insurrection. Can we include Gavin Newscum in the arrest warrant?
No, the Gabbing Nuisance needs his very own “spayshull” warrant. He’s been at it longer, and has roots down way deeper than the Li’l Bassy Phish. Charging him in a federal criminal warrant will open the door widely for a much needed reset for the whole State of California.
We have seen sanctuary cities and states, charitable organizations, local politicians, large numbers of migrants and Mexican cartels dictate immigration policy.
Women were raped, children were trafficked (sold). people died or were murdered. That’s the result.
Now, reading about these mayors clamoring for an opposing force to rise up against ICE, all that is needed is another Fort Sumpter to complete the scenario.
Do we have to go through that again?
Let California secede. ICE today is fair game for the Left; tomorrow ALL law enforcement will be. The US can survive without CA in the Union. It’s not the only place that produces wine…LOL.
Build another wall around that cesspool for public safety.
No, there are far too many mostly innocent victims stuck there who need the protection of fedgov, and letting the dirtbags take the State out of The Union would be to deny them their rights and guarantees under the Constitution they still wish ro live under.
Nope. Clean out the trash and let the real citizens remake the state with the load of garbage now removed. Maybe they will learn from their
non-interference policies.
California is strategically important to the USA. Don’t give it up, clean it up and take out the trash.
California needs to be Fumigated totally from the mess the Democrats and Illegal Aliens and Eco-Freaks are leaving
Freeze the bank accounts of all those mayors and the city government. Then move ICE into the police headquarters of LA. Move the Nat. Guard into protect ICE and all Fed agents.
It’s time to acknowledge that we are now engaged in a new civil war. I mistakenly thought it would start with a bang, maybe something like the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1861. But the posturing and rhetoric coming from the Dems is nothing short of insurrection. Border czar Tom Homan has warned us more than once that continuing this escalation is going to get someone killed. Just how many, will be determined by how serious the Dems are about taking this to the next level. And that level will get ugly faster than you can say John Brown’s Body.
fort Sumpter was a false flag operation carefully staged to “justify” unleashing the dogs of what is variously called he Civil War, the War Between the States, or the War of Northern Aggression.
It would not surprise me much if the Gabbling Nuisance DID try and engineer some similar “event” but I question whether he has the intellligence to carry it off and be successful.
Even if he does there is no way he has what it takes to run with it and change anything but his place of residence. (he would not be living in Sacramento OR San francisco for long) I see a federal prison in some other state in his future. With Bass’ deparrure not long after.
Revisionist theory with no evidence, unless that sort of thing happens to be your hobby. And please, no paranoid theories. I have no intention on debating any history-of-the-absurd,.
This women is NOT a MAYOR at all she FOLLOWS Newsom and believes that he will protect her. When an elected official calls on GANGS to interfere and places a mandate on Police departments to also do the same ,She has cross a line that is an insurrection. She needs to be FIRED IMMEDILTY . The city Council need to convene immediately and REMOVE HER . Should any gang get involved there will be BLOOD shed as gang members carry fire arms and should they fire upon a federal agent of any kind that would be the Biggest mistake of all. This is such a dangerous demand made on the City of Las Angeles and the Mayor would be arrested for MURDER. Newsom is an Idiot but I think he better have a LONG talk with her and she better make a PUBLIC statement Reversing her statements or her and Newsom will both go down Hard. The City council should also be held accountable if they do Not Take Action!
Interesting that the same group of people (Democrats) who condemned Arizona for doing the federal government’s job (immigration enforcement) are now condemning the federal government for doing their job (immigration enforcement).
Logic and reason is NOT their strength.
arrest and deport these traitors along with the criminal aliens they protect!
Are these people going to be ignored until there is an all out armed rebellion or are they going to be arrested. If something isn’t done to end their rhetoric soon there is going to be a lot of bloodshed because the people following them are violent lunatics. Actually it might already be too late. Be praying 🙏.
They have the big mouths so let them get out and do something! It would be very interesting for Bass to confront and OBSTRUCT an ICE Agent trying to do their job! Honestly, she should be arrested just for the letter she put out instructing others to obstruct! PRESIDENT TRUMP went through two years of hell on a crap charge of “Inciting a riot” so why can’t she and the others be hauled in on LEGITIMATE calls for inciting??
This is treason! Prepare the gallows…….
These people are staging this “insurrection” under the wrong President! If we had Kamala Harris this would be the time to do it. However under President Trump we have an Executive that WILL act. Armed insurrection will result in an armed reaction. Our military still has plenty of veterans from the Sand Box who have dealt with guerrilla fighters (unfortunately we Vietnam Vets are all a little long in the tooth). Using Special Operations command most of the “leaders” could be caught quickly, tried, and put in jail. The hard core communists members will be a lot harder to locate and eliminate. As always the people to suffer the most are more or less innocent civilians that will die during the insurrection. A military maximum is it takes about 10 soldiers for every 1 guerrilla fighter. An armed insurrection should result in a declaration of martial law which should cut down on the lawyers getting rich at least until the fighting stops.
However, if we are fighting Russia and her allies–probably China, North Korea, etc–when they kick off their insurrection things could get dicey. That however is a different discussion.
Insurrection— plain and simple.
Where is Rick Grenell?? Didn’t Trump put him on this blatantly illegal situation?
