LOS ANGELES (AP) The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday warned the mayor of Los Angeles and the countys top health officer that an extension of the coronavirus stay-at-home order may be unlawful.
The vague letter sent to Mayor Eric Garcetti and LA County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer did not spell out any specific violations, but noted concern about statements both had made publicly that restrictions may be prolonged without a vaccine.
Reports of your recent public statements indicate that you suggested the possibility of long-term lockdown of the residents in the city and county of Los Angeles, regardless of the legal justification for such restrictions, Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband wrote. We remain concerned about what may be an arbitrary and heavy-handed approach to continuing stay-at-home requirements.

“It is illegal from the getgo. It is a violation of the Constitution”
As I heard one local politician say ‘we don’t care about the constitution’.
Wow, another warning
Now THATS gonna scare them.
Give these political leaders the Roger Stone treatment: 27 FBI Agents dressed in SWAT Gear, Helicopter, Boat and a CNN film crew raid the political leaders' houses at 6:00 AM. Then the DOJ will have some creditability..........
Doesnt matter about the stay at home nonsense as I just came from Venice Beach this morning and it was packed.
“As I heard one local politician say we dont care about the constitution.”
And with that I’m disappointed that we don’t hear about all the ‘accidents’ local politicians are having in certain states.
Wow cheeseburger Barr. A warning that they “could be” in violation. I’ll bet they are almost perspiring over that pansy ass threat.

I found a Great
Parking spot at
La Jolla Cove about
Noon today for a smoke.
Finding a spot was
Very unusual.
garcetti can pound sand
This is ridiculous as nobody is doing anything but giving the loss of liberty lip service. Our rights are gone and it’s obvious.
As long as it’s wet sand. He thinks dry sand will give you cironavirus. :)
Once they are out of their “State of Emergency” deadline it’s over.
