To the Torrance City Council:
The legislation will still shield
the following felons from deportation:
- · Kidnapping
- · Hostage taking
- · Human trafficking
- · Child abuse
- · Felony crimes with a hate crime enhancement
- · Possession of a restricted biological agent
The bill still protects illegal
aliens who have committed felonies as well as all misdemeanors.
Crime has been rising all over the
state, including Torrance, CA, where I learned that the Post Office on Monterey
Ave has closed down its lobby on Sundays because of repeated vandalism.
The bill’s author has admitted
that he not only has family members living in the state of California
illegally, but they rely on fake documents and stolen IDs in order to “survive”.
This is outrageous lawlessness.
I confronted my Congressman Ted
Lieu to do something, but he
was not interested in talking to me or taking action. Instead, he has spent
more time maligning our President on social media or sitting down on the floor
of the House.
But there is something that this
city council can do, which other cities and elected leaders have done.
I am asking this city council once
again to adopt a resolution demanding a No vote on SB 54, regardless of future
amendments. That piece of legislation passed following some amendments. I
believe that more elected officials speaking out against this bill will ensure
its slow demise in the months to come.
Your resolution will send a clear
message to Sacramento, that you expect the state legislation to regard and
prioritize the well-being of every citizen in Torrance.
And that you expect our lawmakers
to respect and protect our law enforcement, too. After all, LA County Sheriff
Jim McDonnell has vocally opposed SB 54.
Thought you might find this of interest. Wondering if ICE will attend this meeting?
