LA Sheriff: Policies of Soros-Backed Prosecutor Profit Criminals
Crime is on the rise in Los Angeles, and the soft-on-criminals policies of District Attorney George Gascon are a major cause, Sheriff Alex Villanueva says.\xa0\nWhen Gascon took office in December 2020 as one of the successful candidates backed by liberal financier George Soros, he issued a list of crimes that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office no longer would prosecute.\xa0\nThose changes are \u201cunleashing a wave of crime by not prosecuting criminals who are victimizing poor people, people of color, people that live in the toughest neighborhoods in our communities,\u201d Villanueva says.\xa0\nVillanueva, a lieutenant in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department when he was elected sheriff in 2018, joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to explain how Gascon's policies led to criminals being released back onto the streets and how the "defund the police" movement has affected his workforce.\nAlso on today\u2019s show, we cover these stories:\n\nThe Biden administration extends the mask mandate for many travelers, especially on planes and trains, for another 15 days.\n\nPresident Biden accuses Russia of committing genocide against the Ukrainian people.\n\nTexas Gov.
