BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. KILEY of California. The scenes we are seeing in Los Angeles right now are absolutely horrifying, and California's radical political leadership has done everything possible to usher in this chaos.

First of all, they aided and abetted Biden's open border, which was worse in California than anywhere.

Second, they adopted sanctuary policies that prevent ICE from being able to conduct immigration operations in the safest and most orderly fashion in a custodial setting.

Three, they massively have funded radical groups that are now going out and providing coordinates to people throughout L.A. for where ICE operations are taking place.

Four, they have actually released a lot of dangerous criminals from our jails through early release policies so there are plenty of people out there who are willing to stir up trouble.

Five, they are adding fuel to the fire--literal fires--with incendiary rhetoric that are vilifying our law enforcement officers, that are vilifying Federal officials.

Then, worst of all, the Governor is refusing to take action to keep the community safe. Right now the entire country has seen what his failed policies have done to our State.
