AGENDA 21 RADIO

BY PAUL PRESTON

Blatant racism is now the tool of California State Senate Pro Tem Kevin De Leon as he attempts to stand in defiance of U. S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and President Donald Trump’s sanctuary policies.

“It has become abundantly clear that Attorney General Sessions and the Trump Administration are basing their law enforcement policies on principles of white supremacy – not American values. Their constant and systematic targeting of diverse cities and states goes beyond constitutional norms and will be challenged at every level.”

Enter former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder who is under contract to the California State Legislature to subvert the legal authority of the Trump administration. Holder who now is employed by the law firm of Covington and Burling and receives a $25,000.00 per month retainer from the State of California has now entered the issue with what looks like a first strike at Sessions and Trump.

Eric Holder’s law firm paid $25K a month by California taxpayers to fight Trump policies: Report

Below are the statements and the letter that was sent to Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary Kelly.

This is a provocative attack against the Trump administration.

Sen. de León’s comments come after the Department of Justice warned the state of California that it could lose $20 million in criminal justice grants should it fail to enforce policies under the new administration’s immigration crackdown.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has repeatedly warned localities protecting illegals from deportation, known as “sanctuary cities,” that they risk losing federal funding should they fail to comply with federal immigration law. The administration is also publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by illegal aliens residing in sanctuary cities.

On a visit to the southern border on Friday, Sessions described de León’s claim as “kind of extremist statement that I totally reject,” urging jurisdictions such as California and New York to “reconsider” their position.

Meanwhile, Californian Assemblyman James Gallagher (R-Yuba) ridiculed it as a “ridiculous statement.”

“Nobody here is talking about the state becoming an immigration agency or doing ICE’s job for them. It’s about whether you comply with federal law,” Gallagher told The LA Times.

In February this year, de León revealed that “half [his] family are here illegally” under false documents and would be eligible for deportation under government policy. He then went on to push legislation making California a “Sanctuary State,” which prohibits state law enforcement agencies in California from cooperating with federal immigration.

De Leon’s Racist Roots…….La Raza

Senate Pro Tem Kevin De Leon and fellow Senator Ben Hueso were both featured speakers at a January 2017 event of La Raza. Known as the ‘La Raza Round Table of California the event was recorded. “La Raza” is Spanish for ‘The Race’.
