LA County Sheriff Says Department Won’t Enforce Governor’s Stay at Home Orders

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced the strictest lockdown orders yet, an announcement which caught the LA County Sheriff off-guard.

Sheriff Villanueva told local news that his department will not participate in enforcing stay at home orders saying that it’s the job of the health department and that he doesn’t want to make businesses who’ve worked hard to comply only to have the rug yanked from beneath them more “miserable.”

Like many other state and local officials, Governor Newsom is embroiled in a “do as I say, not as I do” scandal when he was caught defying his own lockdown orders to attend a 12-person dinner party.
