From Fox News’s Bill Melugin, we have this demonstration of why Los Angeles – and California – is in its currently untenable, unsustainable condition:
NEW: Per ICE sources, the man seen in a viral video being subdued by residents & arrested by police w/ a blowtorch near the #KennethFire in West Hills is an illegal alien from Mexico named Juan Manuel Sierra-Leyva. He is in custody on a probation violation & has NOT been charged w/ arson. I’m told ICE will place a detainer request on him with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, but they do not expect it to be honored due to California’s Sanctuary State law. I’m told Sierra-Leyva will have a court appearance tomorrow. Again – he has not been charged w/ arson and is in custody only on a probation violation at the moment, as multiple agencies have been interviewing him.
Is this true? Can it possibly be true? Do they have an arsonist, an illegal alien caught red-handed with a blowtorch, and he hasn’t been charged with arson???? And the reason he has not been charged is because it would go up against California’s sanctuary state law – a law that 100% flouts federal law?
The answer to all of those questions is yes.
This is what Los Angeles is. This is what California is. This is what the voters have bequeathed themselves.
Are they Stupid, Ignorant or Partisan enough not to learn from this and act accordingly?
I guess we’ll find out next election day.
