Acting US Attorney Has Sharp Response To Criticism From LA Mayor Following Rally

Things got spicy in Los Angeles on Thursday, and not in the usual taco-truck-on-every-corner kind of way. No, this was a full-blown political tantrum, featuring Governor Gavin Newsom, a redistricting rally, and a guest appearance by federal agents who — brace yourself — dared to enforce the law. And yes, it escalated fast.

Newsom was mid-rally, pushing his latest Orwellian-sounding legislation, the so-called Election Rigging Response Act — a name that sounds like it came from a bad parody of a dystopian novel. Keep in mind, California already has an “independent” redistricting commission. But apparently, that’s not enough for Gavin. When Democrats don’t like the rules, they change them. Or in this case, rename the rulebook entirely.

But that wasn’t even the main act.

Because while Newsom was busy spinning his reality distortion field, something happened — federal agents showed up. Specifically, Border Patrol agents. Not ICE, mind you, but Customs and Border Protection — the people tasked with, you know, securing the border and actually doing something about illegal immigration.

Newsom? He freaked out. Apparently, he couldn’t tell the difference between CBP and ICE (which is a little like a governor confusing the fire department with the gas company).

But it wasn’t just Gavin going weak at the knees. Enter stage left: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who went nuclear over the idea of federal agents — gasp — arresting illegal immigrants… in a sanctuary city… in broad daylight… right near her precious rally.

She actually said — out loud — that this was “a provocative act.” Her exact words: “There was certainly no need to have a provocative act right here where the governor is having a press conference.”

Let that sink in.

Arresting people breaking federal law is now “provocative.” We’ve officially entered the Twilight Zone, where enforcing immigration law is treated like a hostile takeover.
