Garcia: Release of 63,000 Violent Prisoners Idiotic, Dangerous
Smith supported defunding police, now silent on impending release of dangerous criminals
Valencia, CA – Congressman Mike Garcia (R, CA-25) today called on the State of California to halt their move to release as many as 63,000 violent felons onto California streets.
“Just when you think California couldn’t enact more idiotic policies, the politicians in Sacramento are now putting children and families in danger by releasing tens of thousands of violent criminals into our communities,” said Garcia. “The state must immediately put a stop to this reckless plan.”
Reports surfaced over the weekend that the state plans to release 63,000 violent felons in order to create “safer prisons.”
“Christy Smith has spent the last several weeks aligning herself with the far-left progressives, even supporting the defunding of the L.A. Police Department last fall, but now she’s curiously silent as her pals in Sacramento prepare to release 63,000 violent criminals into California communities,” said Garcia.
Garcia spent much of the past weekend attending a police appreciation event in Lancaster, once again showing his commitment to supporting local law enforcement officers.
