The Trump Insurrection on Jan. 6.

Monday, Jan. 6, 2025,  marks the fourth anniversary of Donald Trump's deadly January 6 insurrection.

And Donald Trump—who pledged to pardon the insurrectionists on his "first day"—is just days away from taking office.¹

nine people died and more than 150 people were injured as a result of the white supremacist attack on our Capitol.²

Law enforcement officials have charged more than 1,500 people with crimes related to the insurrection—but Trump has pledged to pardon them, continuing his pattern of promoting violence, corruption, and favors for MAGA loyalists.³

Shameless.

We cannot allow Trump to get away with pardoning his lawless and violent cronies.

How Trump Inverted the Violent History of Jan. 6

The president-elect and his allies have spent four years reinventing the Capitol attack — spreading conspiracy theories and weaving a tale of martyrdom to their ultimate political gain.

Sacramento - a Sanctuary City. California - a Sanctuary State

  

Sacramento City Councilman Eric Guerra, the Mayor, and number of local politicians assert that Sacramento will remain a sanctuary city, and that all public officials will refuse to cooperate with ICE in their proclaimed mass deportations.   Today, December 18, 2024. The electeds were joined by community groups and religious organizations.

Under California law and local ordinances, no state or county funds can be used in the enforcement of immigration laws, and public employees may not cooperate with federal officials seeking to enforce immigration laws. 

Cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, and funding of cooperative efforts at immigration enforcement is prohibited by state law known as the California Values Act. 

Elected officials stressed that we did not cooperate in 2017 ( Trump 1), and we will not cooperate in 2025 (Trump 2).
