California’s Democrat leaders are currently playing a game of “X number of steps to an insurrection”. And ‘X’ is determined by their acclerationism.
The state’s ruling majority, whose power derives in no small part from illegal aliens, had created a sanctuary state by force which prohibited law enforcement from cooperating with immigration authorities. Los Angeles and other municipalities are trying to move forward legislation that would impel the LAPD and other police forces to interfere with immigration arrests. That’s a catastrophic idea of the kind that could lead to a violent confrontation with federal law enforcement. The Democrat politicians pushing this hope that is indeed what will happen.
Huntington Park Mayor Arturo Flores released a statement Saturday, condemning what he called “masked abductions” amid immigration raids across Los Angeles County, and directing police to intervene in unlawful or unauthorized operations.
“These are not lawful arrests. These are abductions,” said Mayor Flores.
Flores said he’s received reports of masked and unidentified individuals abducting residents in broad daylight. “These actions have sparked rumors of unauthorized vigilantes or bounty hunters operating under the guise of federal enforcement, have triggered widespread fear and confusion throughout the community.”
“This is not immigration enforcement. This is state-sanctioned intimidation,” said Flores. “I am calling for the immediate cessation of these raids and for the Huntington Park Police Department to begin verifying the identities and authority of any individuals conducting such operations within city limits.”
The statement shared that the mayor formally directed the police department to enforce laws concerning unmarked vehicles, visible license plates and required agency identification. “He is urging law enforcement to investigate and intervene in any unauthorized operations that place public safety or civil liberties at risk,” continued the message.
Telling the police to interfere with ICE arrests is a terrible idea. And I’m pretty sure that Flores knows that urging the police to start trying to challenge the authority of a federal law enforcement agency in the middle of a raid and facing rioters is likely to end badly.
Having it end badly is the goal. But considering that LA’s escalation led to National Guard deployment, is Flores looking for soldiers to show up in Huntington Park so the local cops can ask them for their IDs?
California and its cities are not actually seperate from the United States. Directing police to interfere with law enforcement operations is an insurrection.
And California has been in a state of insurrection for much too long.
