Gavin Newsom Exposed For Flip-Flopping On ICE

Rapid Response

Yesterday, failed California Governor – and chronic liar – Gavin Newsom was exposed for lying about California cooperating with ICE. 

Newsom has repeatedly smeared the brave men and women of ICE and made California a sanctuary  for criminal illegal aliens. 
 


 

Democrat Governors across the country have made it clear they care more about protecting criminal illegal aliens than the American people:

  • Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont : “We make sure that we don’t know their immigration status” so he can protect criminal illegal aliens in his state.
  • Illinois Governor JB Pritzker : bragged about his "Illinois Accountability Commission" created to gather "evidence" to hold ICE "accountable."
  • Maine Governor Janet Mills: "The time calls for it" talking about a bill she let a law pass that banned state police cooperation with ICE agents.
  • Minnesota Governor Tim Walz: ICE is "doing nothing to make us safer" and "does nothing to address immigration."
  • New York Governor Kathy Hochul: “New York will not allow the use of state resources to assist in federal immigration raids."
  • New Jersey Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill: smeared ICE agents as a "secret police force."
  • Virginia Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger: "I oppose any mandates that require localities to do the work of ICE officials."
  • Washington Governor Bob Ferguson : "We need to be direct about what is happening in our country, and our state, with ICE…it needs to stop now.”

The Department of Homeland security released a statement that 70% of the arrests ICE makes are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States (arrests of these heinous criminals can be found here).

Crime is a choice, and these failed Democrat Governors are choosing to let Americans become victims.
