Sheriffs: 'California is an open territory for the cartel to do whatever it wants'
[JustTheNews] Boudreaux is among many sheriffs in the state who don’t support Harris for president, he’s said after their image was used in one of her campaign ads.

California residents are suffering from Biden-Harris administration “open border” policies and California’s sanctuary state law, California sheriffs argue.

At a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing on victim perspectives, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said, “when it comes to open borders and the impact of illegal immigration in California, I have a front row seat to the havoc those can wreak.”

Boudreaux is among many sheriffs in the state who don’t support Harris for president, he’s said after their image was used in one of her campaign ads.

He then described cases in the Central Valley related to the border crisis. The region is known as the agricultural heart of California and referred to as the “major breadbasket of the world” because they produce so much food, he said. The region has also had a long history with illegal immigration because an estimated 80% of agricultural workers are in the country illegally, he said. With illegal immigration comes crime, and that has stretched thin law enforcement resources, he said.

“When it comes to our open border, the Central Valley is at the foot of the mountain staring down an avalanche. We are confronting a barrage of violent criminals, events, and drugs flow from the border into our community. The free flow of illicit and deadly drugs, principally fentanyl, have turned the corridors of Highway 99 and Interstate 5 into two highways of death that unleash unspeakable carnage.”

He described how deputies and canines have been killed by criminal illegal foreign nationals who’ve been deported multiple times after committing multiple crimes in other states. He also described multiple agency operations in several counties targeting drug trafficking operations that uncovered how Tulare County has become a hub for the Sinaloa Cartel. Cartel member suspects they interviewed told them that under the Biden-Harris administration “it is easier now in the last three years than in the history of the drug organization to move illegal drugs across the border into the United States.”

He also described arrests of illegal foreign nationals operating out of Washington state who were allegedly transporting fentanyl for the Mexican cartel “all over the southern border up to Washington.” Arrested and detained on multiple charges, they were let out of jail the next day and never to be found.

“Their release was a slap in the face to the criminal justice system and a direct repercussion of failed immigration policies and an open border,” he said. California’s sanctuary law, SB54, prohibits law enforcement from working with U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE). As a result, “there are no ramifications for their actions. California has basically become an open territory for the cartel to do whatever it wants.”
