Orange County GOP Slams Governor Newsom's Unconstitutional Executive Order

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 30, 2020
CONTACT: Randall Avila
PHONE: (714) 453-0900
Statement on Governor Newsom's Order to Close All Beaches and Hikin Trails
ORANGE COUNTY, CA – Hon. Fred M. Whitaker, Chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County, released the following statement on Governor Newsom's order to close all California beaches and hiking trails:

“We are greatly angered that Governor Newsom decided to close all beaches and hiking trails starting this Friday. It is a complete slap in the face to local control and has nothing to do with health.

The Orange County Board of Supervisors and local city councils are the best to determine the status of public areas such as beaches and hiking trails. These local bodies looked at the data, consulted with health experts, and more important their constituents before deciding to keep our beaches open.
 
Every local law enforcement entity found last weekend’s beach usage in Orange County to be in compliance with social distancing. Yet King Gavin decided press stories were more worthy of trust than law enforcement. I guess we should not be surprised.

It has been a long six weeks since the Governor issued his original stay at home order. Orange County and California residents cooperated and flattened the curve. His actions are arrogant and unnecessary.

From his lack of transparency with the legislature on spending to closing our public spaces - it is clear Gavin Newsom thinks he can control all aspects of society without question.

A pandemic does not cancel our constitution, our branches of government or our right to be governed by those we elected in our local communities.”

VICTORY! Huntington Beach Wins Lawsuit Against SB 54

Here's the entire report on Huntington Beach's epic victory against the terrible Sanctuary State Law, as reported in the Los Angeles Times:

Judge rules for Huntington Beach in its challenge to state's'sanctuary' immigration law

An Orange County Superior Court judge determined Thursday that California’s “sanctuary state” protections for undocumented immigrants infringe on Huntington Beach’s local control as a charter city, making Huntington the first city to successfully challenge the controversial law.



One can only hope that other superior court judges would have ruled in favor. Let's hope that this ruling is about more than the legal and political culture of the county.

Senate Bill 54, authored by state Senate leader Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), in many cases prohibits state and local police agencies from notifying federal officials about the impending release of immigrants in custody who may be deported.
The amendments regarding the cooperation with ICE for serious felonies is a voluntary amendment. County jails and sheriffs do not have to cooperate with ICE at all if they so choose. That part of the law is precisely why open-borders Villaneuva is running on a platform to abolish ICE from the LA County jails if he gets elected.
Please, let us not allow that to happen.
But after an hours-long courtroom debate Thursday, Judge James Crandall sided with Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates’ argument that the law is unconstitutional as it applies to charter cities, which are run by a charter adopted by local voters.

This is nothing short of wonderful. Finally, courts are ruling in the best interests of the citizenry and in accordance with the state and federal constitution.

The ruling makes Huntington Beach and all of California’s 121 charter cities exempt from complying with SB54.

That includes Torrance. YES! That list also includes Victorville, Redondo Beach, and Los Alamitos.

Gates said afterward that he was “ecstatic” about the ruling.

“The operation of a police department and its jail is a city affair,” Crandall said. “For the state to say one size fits all for policing isn’t going to fit everybody.”

It also violations federal law and defies the United States Constitution.



Several other Orange County governments also have taken steps to oppose the state’s sanctuary policies.

Crandall said SB54 infringes on local governments’ authority to practice policies they know are appropriate for themselves. Cities have a “better view and better ability” to oversee their needs in certain areas, he added.

BAM! The whole point of city charters was to concentrate and focus governance at the local level. SB 54 unjustly overrides that authority.

Though the state may have had good intentions, Crandall said, there are “constitutional protections” for cities from the “ever-extending tentacles” of state rule.

Yes.

California Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Eisenberg contended that municipalities can exercise other forms of autonomy and criticized Huntington Beach’s “alleged sweeping effects of this law.”

Yes, they are sweeping effects, though. Local governments have every right to ensure that illegal aliens, foreign national criminals, are arrested and deported. They should not reside with impunity in our country. They need to leave.

Eisenberg also argued there is an “important need” for a “uniform” public safety law. He referred to comments included in his briefing in which a law professor suggested that if police officials lose the trust of immigrant communities, people in those areas would avoid police and stop reporting crime, possibly resulting in an increase in crime.

Who cares? "Immigrant communities" which include illegal aliens are not truly immigrant communities. They are dens and covens of lawlessness which should be exposed and broken down. This nonsense about cooperation between illegal aliens and law enforcement agencies is a false argument.

But Crandall contended that violent crime is already up in the state and said he would rather rely on the opinions of local police than a law professor who may not be familiar with a city like Huntington Beach.



WOW! Finally, a judge slapped down the narrow-minded elitist arrogance of academia. No one should care what these elitist eggheads think, since they do not live in the thick of the consequences of the policies they promote. They don't care about everyday people. They are merely invested in how the world should work, even though their regressive, leftist ideas are a total sham that never will work.

I say we listen to the police officers and the citizens, not illegal aliens. Simple as that.

Crandall commended both sides for submitting strong briefs and said that regardless of his decision, he expected it to be appealed and eventually taken up by the California Supreme Court.

This kind of even-handedness deserves great respect and solidifies the fact that the judge rendered a great ruling.

After the hearing, Eisenberg referred questions to Jennifer Molina, press secretary for the state attorney general’s office. Molina could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday evening.

I wonder if the state is going to appeal this decision. Do they have the money, the resources to contest this ruling? I hope not. Perhaps even politically, they won't do anything.

Last year, dozens of residents of Huntington Beach’s Oak View community, which has a high concentration of Latinos, voiced concerns at a town hall meeting following President Trump’s executive order calling for a more aggressive approach to finding and arresting people who are in the country illegally.

Notice how the Fake News media wants to make this about race all over again. This is quite a racist summation which they are suggesting. Do they contend that all illegal aliens are Latino, or of Hispanic origin? That is racist!

Fear has lingered in Oak View since April, when Gates sued over SB54 following a 6-1 vote of approval from the City Council.

Why are they afraid? Are they harboring illegal aliens? Are they contravening federal law? If they are breaking the law, then it's their own damn fault if they are fearful.

Asked what he would say to those residents, Huntington Beach Police Chief Robert Handy, who was present during the hearing, said in an interview that he would ask them to rely on the trust already built among police officers and the community and ignore rhetoric in politics and the media.

Police chiefs need to stop being political. They need to start being professional. They need to stop saying what is popular, and they need to start doing what is right.

7:35 p.m.: This article was updated to say the ruling applies to all California charter cities.

This addition is nothing but good news for us law-abiding citizens.

This is going to knock the entire law down. First, the judge signals that the law violates the home rule of charter cities and their governing policies for local law enforcement.

Second, this ruling will create massive division throughout the state. General law cities which have opposed SB 54 are going to demand that their right to comply with federal law and the United States Constitution. Two sets of law will have emerged because of this ruling, and then general law cities can file their own lawsuit and demand the same honor, protections, and exemptions for their law enforcement outfits.



The whole law will collapse. This is nothing short of wonderful, nothing short of incredible!

This is the judicial victory which California citizens have waited for for decades. We the voters were betrayed after supporting Prop 187 in 1994. Governor Pete Wilson bootstrapped his failing campaign to that initiative. He won re-election, but Prop 187 succeeded by a much larger margin. When one arrogant judge struck down the law in federal court, Wilson refused to purse the matter all the way to Supreme Court.

Wilson betrayed us. He should have fought all the way. Now we are fighting for our rights and our sovereignty. And we are winning!

Judge Rules Against Sanctuary State Law - HB's SB54 Challenge - LA Times

SANCTUARY OPT-OUT UPDATE No. 16
Judge rules for Huntington Beach in its challenge to state's 'sanctuary' immigration law

Yes, Huntington Park Has Illegal Aliens On Their Commissions (Call to Action!)

For two and a half years, members of We the People Rising battered the Huntington Park City Council for their appointment of two illegal aliens to city commissions.

This is perverse, unconstitutional, and just plain unheard of.

Yes, and their names are Francisco Medina and Julian Zatarain (left and right):


The city council has not removed these illegal aliens from the commissions yet, even though ICE has been working around the clock rounding up illegal alien criminals.

But the two arrogant illegals above need to be deported, too, since they are an affront to the rule of law and our nation's sovereignty.

Here's the latest video I recorded at the Parks and Recreation Commission, on which Medina is currently seated:

Here are the photos I took at the meeting:





















Folks!

We need more people to put this information on full blast.

Please contact ICE about Francisco and Julian.

They won't pick them up unless they have an address to find these perpetrators.

Please contact me if you have this information: arthurschaper@hotmail.com.

Here's a video in which I chased Julian out of a Huntington Park City Council meeting:

Rick Wells: CA Patriots Urge Second City Join Lawsuit and End Sanctuary City

I wanted to share this with all of you.
Thanks again, Rick
Arthur Schaper, a patriot challenging the commies of Calif and their sanctuary policies turning the state into a third world hellhole and gateway for illegals to access the entire US…
 
arthur schlap gary galino huntington beach california sb-54
MAGA patriot Arthur Schaper recently addressed a meeting of the Huntington Beach, CA, City Council, offering them his support and demands for an ordinance or other appropriate legal action nullifying California’s Sanctuary City Law. The intro by Gary Galino states that the city is planning a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Sanctuary State statute. They’re there to help make that happen.   [[WATCH VIDEO BELOW]]
Schaper begins his comments by stating that he is “a proud Californian and a proud American.” He says, “This country, this state is still very much America.” He demands that the rule of law be enforced and urging them to pass a resolution opposing SB 54, the sanctuary state legislation.
He encourages them to “Be the second domino with Los Alamitos. That was the strong second shot heard around the world and let it be a sound of restoration for this ‘Bear Flag Republican.’ A little history lesson, this is not stolen land. This is land that was bought and paid for. And even the Mexicans themselves wanted to become Americans.”
He continues, “If it’s stolen land, it’s the Democrats trying to steal it, but we’re taking it back. We insist on the rule of law. Don’t stop there, we want an amicus brief, not just with the lawsuit, but we want a criminal indictment against Jerry Brown, we want a criminal indictment against Xavier Basura, I mean Becerra, sorry.”
Basura means garbage in Spanish and also identifies as slang people who are of little value. He had it right the first time. Schlap then gives a Bible lesson about Ruth and how she complied with the laws of Israel, became a Jew herself, and was not an illegal alien as the open borders crowd has apparently been arguing there locally.
He says, “So I don’t want to hear this garbage [becerra] about how we have to let the whole world in. Love my neighbor doesn’t mean you can kill me or like what happened to Kate Steinle, she was murdered in broad daylight. Put Americans first and make California great again.”

Quote Goes Viral: "This is California, folks. We are NOT a lost cause!"

This quote is going viral, a statement I shared in one of my YouTube videos.

Our raucous victory in Huntington Beach was stellar and stunning all at once.

I have not seen so many freedom-loving Californians altogether in such warm, loud unity in a city council meeting before.


This is the kind of victory we need to see all over the state of California. We need fed-up Californians overwhelming their city council meetings and shouting "This is California! We are NOT a lost cause!"



Let's fight as hard as we can to make California Great Again. Let us not settle for the broken corruption of Sacramento Democrats and their demonic hordes and enablers.

Build That Wall! Build That Wall!
