Up until around 2020, the legal system worked fairly well mostly because jurors generally did their jobs. Even initially in BLM cases. Then the dam broke, jurors began convicting innocent police officers. Now they routinely refuse to convict obviously guilty defendants in ICE interference cases. What that means is we don’t have a functioning justice system and the law does not apply in certain parts of the country.
Like Los Angeles.
A federal jury has acquitted a South L.A. man who was charged with stealing government property by towing an immigration agent’s vehicle during the arrest of a TikTok influencer in Downtown Los Angeles earlier this year.
After a four-day trial and more than three hours of deliberation, the jury found Nunez not guilty of one count of theft of government property Friday, according to the U.S. attorney’s office, which declined to comment on the verdict. He had faced up to 10 years in prison, if convicted.
In a Sept. 2 statement on X, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Nunez had been arrested for “brazenly towing an [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] vehicle.”
“Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations,” Essayli said. “Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice.”
Authorities in an affidavit alleged that Nunez pressed the passenger’s side door of Martinez’s car against a law enforcement officer as officers were struggling to arrest her.
Officers then threatened to arrest Nunez and he allegedly swore at them and said “something was going to happen” to them, according to the affidavit.
While the officers were distracted, Nunez used his tow truck to tow a government vehicle, with its emergency lights flashing, out of the garage, according to the affidavit. The vehicle had its keys inside and a firearm locked inside a safe.
The not guilty verdict is the latest in a string of trial losses in federal court cases tied to immigration arrests and protests. There have been three recent not guilty verdicts delivered to defendants accused of assaulting federal agents.
Bill Essayli’s performance has been very poor and Trump would do well to replace him with top talent. The ratio of posturing to results is low on results and heavy on tweeting.
But that said, it’s pretty clear that LA juries are very comfortable with letting defendants go in cases where the evidence is very clear for political reasons.
That makes parts of the country into ‘sanctuary cities’ not just for illegal aliens, but for assaults on federal law enforcement personnel.
This is a crisis situation and it’s not hard to see where this is headed. And what the long term consequences can be.
No surprise since these people are the similar ones that made up the O.J. Simpson criminal trial jury.
This is going to be a real problem going forward. It’s going to be very difficult to convict those Democrats in open rebellion against federal authority when their jury is made up of fellow Democrats. We were lucky to get Hannah Dugan convicted in Milwaukee Country, (the worst (most Democrat) county in Wisconsin, followed closed by Dane (Madison). I can only suggest that prospective jurors be challenged if they have any history of opposing immigration enforcement.
Unfortunately, the Constitution requires requires that federal criminal trials be held in the district in which the crime was committed, so we can’t generally try these Democrat criminals in Republican parts of the country. Given that reality, I don’t think replacing Bill Essayli would help much in a hellhole like L.A.
Essayli is on a hiding to nothing bringing those sorts of prosecutions in LA for the same reason you can’t get a conviction against a Democrap swamp creature in DC.
When the the jury pool is so dark blue that it might as well be midnight black they simply will not convict if the crime is behaviour they support, no matter how guilty the scumbag is and how slam dunk the evidence is.
On the other hand, they will convict on nothing but an accussation if the defendant happens to be a Republican or a police officer or the like.
Yeah, it didn’t surprise me that an LA jury let him off. Probably true in a lot of sanctuary cities.
Fuck Los Angeles – let the demons be exposed and let the good people revolt
What Los Angeles needs is a good earthquake on Christmas Day – they king that makes people instantly call out for GOD
The cities that declared themselves sanctuaries were making a declaration that they were no longer American and were now under foreign occupation. But why wouldn’t they? There is no penalty and the rewards are great. They get to steal elections and stay in power forever.
The democrats have no problem ruling over ruins that they themselves created.
Where is my military?
Sanctuary cities, because they are no longer considered American cities, should no longer be allowed o vote in Federal elections.
L.A. run by Crooks, Thieves, Rapists and Traitors and like NYC should be totally avoided by Everyone

At what point does President Trump use the Insurrection Act to stop this open rebellion?
Government has one job and that is to uphold justice. Israel fell numerous times in Old Testament history because of their own corrupt judges. At the moment, a judge can order police to arrest people and confiscate property. But if they continue to abuse innocent people with this power as in the case of Randy Weaver and many others, or if they convict officers for upholding real laws(not civil code) and arresting illegal aliens, it won’t be long before police just decide whether they want to follow the orders of judges or not, especially considering that they can have protection from the other half of the government that disagrees. This is what is known as civil war when half of the government disagrees with the other half. At that point, anything you do is against the law of half the government while being demanded by the other half. The weapons and population of today will make a second civil war much more devastating than the last one.
In CA they don’t really enforce ANY laws…unless the perp is white. So…this news is kind of moot.
Yes. We’re in trouble.
It’s been coming for a long time. We could see it here and there, but – and you’re right – the dam really broke with the St. Floyd riots.
Albeit, I do believe the reason is the “Soros” DA effect. If the DA’s are Pro-Crime Lefturds, they fill the office with like minded scum.
And that means you’re going to get a “Bronx” jury – even if the jury “pool” is otherwise pretty good.
Likewise, if we could reverse the effect – and install Rule-of-Law DA’s and judges –
… the effect could be reversed overnight.
Thanks to the power of the judge and prosecution on the selected pool. (Of course, you cannot rule out a veto juror in a case requiring unanimous agreement.)
Obviously – as of right now –
replacing the “Soros” style judges and DA’s is pipe dream for another day.
But it’s not impossible.
We just need to … 1. WIN, and 2. Defeat RINOs as well as KKKrats.
… and if we reach the promised land of “Rule of Law” …
hopefully there will be time remaining on the clock to save the nation (and Tina Peters, and other political prisoners)
Or divide it and get it over with.
ICE should arrest the Mayor and City Council and charge them with giving aid and comfort to the Enemy and give them Life in Prison
I have no doubt that the local jury would just acquit like they did in this case.
Every sanctuary-supporter should be assigned an illegal immigrant to feed, clothe and house.
What else is to be expected? Look at that pathetic pile of adamschitt LA has for a Mayor. As useless as braces on false teeth.
I’m hoping Trump declares Martial Law. Then he’ll have a free hand to clean up the blue states/cities. I hope.
Under the U.S. Constitution,
an invasion must involve both
physical ingress into a state
(entry) and the intent by the
invader to act as an enemy to
that state (enmity).
Now, we regularly find the feckless wonders in our country who seem perpetually unable to make any distinctions about ingress and intent. Let me suggest, in my ardent defense of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the following:.
1. Illegal entry into the USA is a criminal offense and as such is indicative of a fundamental disregard for our laws and from such implicitly carries the intent of violating additional laws in order to remain in the country.
2. This alone warrants immediate expulsion from the country.
3. There is ample evidence that illegals, also known as invaders, use both state and federal systems in fraudulently obtaining benefits to which they have NO RIGHTS WHATSOEVER.
C. Drug cartels, human smugglers, international sex traffickers, Islamists from Muslim nations with the expressed intention of foreign colonization (invasion) within US borders, jihadis with expressed intentions of criminal terrorist attacks, spies from foreign nations nefariously entering the country for the expressed purpose of engaging in espionage to compromise and steal our military and intellectual advancements using spy craft, blackmail and other spurious means of obtaining influence and secured information, Billionaires investing in the destruction of the foundational pillars of our western society to further their goals of our country’s destruction-both those of national origin and those with naturalized citizenship.
All of the afore mentioned have, in fact, inflicted upon the American people, both individually and collectively, actions causing harm, death and destruction.
That we have willingly capitulated to these invaders, giving them a validity based upon the precepts of what are philosophically egregious ideals in fundamental conflict with our Constitution, is outrageous.
Our President takes an oath to protect the country from all enemies both foreign and domestic.
THE INVASION IS ONGOING, the harm is to our country, citizens, our taxpayers, our rule of law, our sovereignty over our borders, the wholesale refusal to remove all who fall under this and all we do is talk, talk, talk while all of our enemies have determined we are weak and will do nothing!!
