Steve Hilton Criticizes Gavin Newsom's Handling of LA Riots and Immigration Policy

Newsom's Response to Riots

• 🎯 Steve Hilton states that California Governor Gavin Newsom has "lost the plot" and is "all over the place" in his response to recent riots and protests.
• ⚠️ Hilton criticizes Newsom for focusing on partisan attacks and trolling President Trump on social media instead of upholding law and order.
• ⏳ Law enforcement officers were reportedly made to wait for extended periods without deployment orders during riots, indicating a lack of decisive leadership.

Sanctuary State Law Criticism

• ⚖️ Hilton argues that the extreme sanctuary state law in California is a root cause of the issues, preventing cooperation between state, local law enforcement, and ICE.
• 🚫 This lack of cooperation, he claims, leads to enforcement operations that are then exploited by far-left groups to create chaos.

ICE Arrests and Public Opinion

• 🚨 The protests are framed as a reaction to ICE arresting dangerous criminal illegal aliens, including those arrested for attempted murder and other serious offenses.
• 📊 Polls indicate that the majority of US voters desire law and order and support deportations, with immigrant voters swinging significantly towards Republicans.

Impact on Working-Class Communities

• 🗣️ Hilton highlights that working-class communities, particularly those of Mexican heritage in East LA, are vocal about their dissatisfaction with current immigration and deportation policies.
• 💰 These communities feel they are negatively impacted by policies providing free resources like EBT cards, cell phones, and housing vouchers, leading to overcrowding and strain on schools.
