Los Angeles County Democrats have done it again — and this time, even President Donald Trump is reportedly stunned.
The county’s far-left Board of Supervisors just declared a local “state of emergency” — not for wildfires or rising crime, but over ICE immigration enforcement.
🚨 Democrats Declare “Emergency” Over Immigration Raids
In a 4–1 vote, Los Angeles County’s Democrat-controlled board approved a sweeping declaration that provides taxpayer-funded rent relief and free legal aid for anyone “affected” by federal immigration raids.
The resolution orders county agencies to “take emergency action” to “stabilize communities impacted by federal immigration actions.”
Conservatives say it’s an outrageous misuse of power — one that punishes citizens while protecting those in the country illegally.
💥 GOP Chair Blasts “Shameless” Democrats
Los Angeles County GOP Chair Roxanne Hoge didn’t hold back.
She told Fox News Digital:
“Living in California is like playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole with these people. They have no shame in how far they’ll go to reward illegal behavior while ignoring law-abiding taxpayers.”
Hoge accused Democrat leaders of abandoning their duty to provide basic public services — like safety, clean streets, and freedom from crime.
“You’d think an emergency means fires or crime waves,” she said. “Instead, they’re declaring one to give money to people who don’t even prove they’re here legally. It’s a total slap in the face to hardworking Americans.”
🧾 The Official Reason — and the Real One
County officials claim ICE operations created a “climate of fear” that disrupted businesses, schools, and hospitals. But conservatives argue the real goal is to send a political message against Trump’s border policies.
The emergency declaration, dated October 9, will stay in effect until the board decides to end it — which could mean months of taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants.
🔔 Only One Supervisor Had the Courage to Say “No”
Supervisor Kathryn Barger, the lone Republican on the board, voted against the motion.
She issued a firm statement:
“Emergency powers exist for life-and-death crises like wildfires—not for political stunts. Stretching these powers for immigration issues undermines their purpose and invites legal challenges.”
Barger said while families may feel fear, “we need real solutions, not symbolic gestures.”
⚠️ California’s Priorities: Upside Down
Critics say this latest stunt proves how far California Democrats have strayed from reality.
While homelessness skyrockets, violent crime rises, and businesses flee the state, Los Angeles leaders are busy protecting illegal immigrants and declaring fake “emergencies.”
“They’re giving money to people who broke the law while law-abiding citizens can’t even afford rent or feel safe walking to their car,” one resident said.
Even President Trump, briefed on the move, was said to be “shocked but not surprised” — calling it another example of how “California has become the poster child for Democrat failure.”
🧠 The Bottom Line
Los Angeles leaders are once again proving their priorities aren’t American safety, security, or sanity — they’re about virtue signaling and political defiance.
As Roxanne Hoge put it best:
“Do your jobs. Protect Americans living in Los Angeles.”
