California Sheriff Refuses 'Absurd' Order to Release Murderers and Rapists Due to Pandemic

You’ve got to hand it to the ACLU. Their legendary defense of traitors, terrorists, and others who would try and destroy the United States is consistent and predictable.

This may be why Barnes is dismissing the judge’s order and says his office will appeal.
