California’s Governor Gavin Newsom would like us to believe that the Federal Government and the military should not interfere in California. He says that the military has no business in the streets of L.A. because they are trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement.
Newsom claims that ICE activity in California is causing chaos and fear, claiming that “Trump’s agents” are terrorizing schools and arresting “dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers and seamstresses”, and that it is weakness masquerading as strength.
Newsom wants to protect illegal immigrants, including dangerous criminals, but what of the citizens of his state who are being harmed by the riots? What about the business owners and residents who have been injured or are seeing their property destroyed?
When a state’s leadership refuses to enforce the law, or cooperate with Federal authorities, it creates a vacuum of order that invites – indeed necessitates – federal action.
