Last week the presidential candidate Gavin Newsom sent 150 California Highway Patrol offices to Alameda County to protect the people—the local cops had been defunded. Now he is sending State prosecutors, since the local DA does not prosecute criminals and protects the illegal alien gangs. At what point does Newsom declare Alameda County a disaster area, declare a State of emergency, and take over the County. Currently the county government has turned itself over to the criminals.
“California is adding to a surge of cops in Alameda County by partnering state prosecutors with the District Attorney’s Office, to bolster prosecution of people suspected of committing crimes.
Governor Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price announced a new partnership Thursday between the governor’s office, California’s Department of Justice and National Guard, the California Highway Patrol and the district attorney’s office. Newsom said that he intends to deploy attorneys and resources and boost law enforcement capacity in Oakland and the East Bay.
Now the people of Modesto, Brea and El Cajon get to finance the justice system in Alameda, since the government is Alameda sides with the criminals.

OAKLAND, Calif. (CN) — California is adding to a surge of cops in Alameda County by partnering state prosecutors with the District Attorney’s Office, to bolster prosecution of people suspected of committing crimes.
Governor Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price announced a new partnership Thursday between the governor’s office, California’s Department of Justice and National Guard, the California Highway Patrol and the district attorney’s office. Newsom said that he intends to deploy attorneys and resources and boost law enforcement capacity in Oakland and the East Bay.
The goal is to better investigate, analyze and prosecute suspects in violent, property and drug-related crimes, Newsom said in a statement Thursday.
Bonta said the partnership is intended to improve public safety ‘’so that Oakland residents can thrive and prosper.”
“The East Bay is my home, and I’m committed to ensuring that the people of Oakland can live and work in a safe community,” Bonta said. “The California Department of Justice has legal and law enforcement expertise to bring to bear as we work collaboratively to hold bad actors accountable.”
Price said she has assigned Alameda County career prosecutor and assistant district attorney Michael Nieto to represent her office in the partnership.
“I welcome the support from the governor in this fight against organized retail crime and the scourge of fentanyl in our community,” Price said in a statement Thursday.
The partnership comes amid a mounting attempt by some in the county to recall Price, who has only been in office for one year. In a county known for calls for justice reform amid incidents of excessive force and discrimination across the local criminal justice system. Price is the county’s first Black lead prosecutor and successfully campaigned for office by promoting increased police accountability. Recall organizers claim they have raised about $2 million, although the county has not yet confirmed if the recall qualifies for the March primary ballot.
This week, Newsom launched a surge of California Highway Patrol officers into Oakland and surrounding cities to crack down on crimes including vehicle and retail thefts. The nearly 900% increase in personnel within Alameda County will target vehicle, cargo and retail theft, as well as violent crime. While overall crime in Oakland has dropped year over year, robberies and homicides are up.
