Oversight Chairman Comer Launches Investigation on LA Riots
On Friday, House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-KY) alerted Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) he is looking to investigate the LA riots. The Department of Justice (DOJ) also received a letter, according to Fox News. The letters taking issue with California’s immigration policies were also signed by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), who chairs the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement.
Bass and Newsom have had particularly horrific takes on the anti-ICE, pro-illegal immigration, and even pro-terrorist riots in Los Angeles.
