Reread the audacious statements by Kevin De Leon at that link. Now he's back:
State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon, D-Los Angeles, said his measure, Senate Bill 54 or the “California Values Act,” is intended to prevent state and local law enforcement from cooperating with what he calls the 'Trump Deportation Machine.' link
A similar bill passed by the Legislature in 2012 was vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown because it was missing serious crimes, all of which are also absent from SB 54. De Leon has refused to make amendments proposed by the Sheriffs Association to add these crimes and to address other concerns held by sheriff’s departments, whose primary responsibilities are the operation of jails.Starve the beast.

Earlier this week I was wondering why it seemed like there were no landscapers working and then, last night, I finally got around to watching the recording we made of last Sunday's Mexico vs. Portugal.
Was that racist?
btw- forget Penys' spices. I love their garlic slat, but I'm going to need to find a replacement.
here is the e-mail blast that Penzy's sent out today.

Two years ago today, 7-6-15, our President rolled out his campaign including these words:
"Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border."
It's been said history is written by the winners. In my travels I've found it to be more often written by local historians. The history of this presidency has only begun to unfold, but the history of the election, and what the people of the United States were willing to turn a blind eye to, is already cast. No future historian of 21st century America will be so unaware of 20th century history as to not know exactly who the then candidate was channeling with the words "tremendous infectious disease" or the inhumanity he was willing to risk being set in motion to bring attention to his candidacy. History will not be kind.
Today, on this anniversary, it seems a good day to apologize to the people of Mexico and Latin America. That form of intentional racism designed to stoke fear and anger among voters should have raised huge red flags as to why this was not a candidate fit for the highest office in the land. For reasons we have yet to get to the bottom of, those red flags were never raised, and for that we are sorry.
Words do so much all by themselves, but over the years we've found if you attach those words to something that's both really good and totally free, the message travels a lot further. So we are tying this message of apology to a $7.95 value Mexican Vanilla Extract. Vanilla, native to Mexico, may well be the greatest of all gifts from nature, and due to the world-wide shortage going on right now, one of the most expensive gifts as well. With the way Americans use Vanilla in the baked goods that share their love for those around them, Mexican Vanilla Extract also seems to be just the right reminder of how lucky we are to share a border with a country that has added so much goodness to all our lives.
To get your flat-out free $7.95 Mexican Vanilla Extract, just bring this email, or the coupon above, into one of our stores today. Online at penzeys.com, the Mexican Vanilla Extract is also free. Enter 92430C in the apply code box at checkout, but shipping charges still apply. To try to make this a bit more obtainable we've dropped our standard $30 spending minimum for free shipping to just $20 and included Alaska and Hawaii in this offer— I hope it helps. If you are spending $20 to get free shipping, be sure to enter 43258C in the apply code box as well for your free $6.95 value Vietnamese Cinnamon.
And please do whatever you can to begin to make things right. "I'm sorry" is an amazingly good starting point. "I'm sorry" plus a batch of tasty cookies is probably even better.
Thanks for cooking,
Bill

Penzeys wise, pound foolish.
Talking about the Senate, John McCain wet himself again.
If CA wants to secede, remind them there's a penalty for early withdrawal.
As I've noted before, if CA wants to play hardball the Trump Admin can send TSA, CBP, ATC, and other Federal workers to "training classes" until CA cooperates.
As De Leon has admitted that he has family members in California that are illegal. Conflict of interest? Clearly and yet shockingly, nothing happens to this guy.
