In an unprecedented action, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday to craft a proposed measure, aimed for the November ballot, that would give the board the ability to remove Sheriff Alex Villanueva and future elected sheriffs from office.
Lawyers for the county were tasked with writing a charter amendment that would go before county voters on Nov. 8. If their measure receives a majority of votes cast, the board would be granted the power to remove an elected county sheriff for the first time in its history. Removing a sheriff would take a vote of four of the five supervisors.
The five-person board voted 4-1 to draft the measure, with Supervisor Kathryn Barger casting the lone dissenting vote. Barger said she questioned the basis of the proposal, calling it politically motivated, and asked why it only targets the sheriff and not other county leadership positions. Supervisors Hilda Solis, Sheila Kuehl, Janice Hahn and Holly Mitchell strongly supported the ballot measure. A finalized measure containing the triggers for removal and exact language will come back to the Board of Supervisors on July 26.
During the last four years, Sheriff Alex Villanueva has blocked investigations of deputy gangs and resisted oversight into several fatal shootings by deputies, often defying subpoenas, the board’s motion said.
Those actions prompted the supervisors to repeatedly pass motions to investigate the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, including two motions in 2020 for independent reviews of the fatal deputy shooting of 18-year-old Andres Guardado, a security guard from Gardena, who was shot five times in the back, as shown in two independent autopsies.
Increasingly, the relationship between the sheriff and the Democrat-dominated Board of Supervisors, who hold the Sheriff’s Department’s purse strings, has become outright toxic.

The Banana Gynocratic State of Lost Angels
The people should REVOLT.
They’re all women ? LOL
The people on the right or even the middle won't revolt.
The one Supervisor who vited against this nonsense is GOP; Kathryn Barger
Five females - probably only Barger Identifies as such
I live here I will sin a petition and vote to recall, because Barger is not my supervisor
If our side plays this right, this could be the issue that completes the realignment of Hispanics over to the Republican side…
Sad to say, but the idiot voters of Los Angeles will approve any measure supported by the corrupt Democrat’s who run the city. And I know from first hand experience, having lived for years in Los Angeles. I watched with disbelief while voters approved raising taxes, borrowing money and other measures that would take money out of their pockets and put in in the pockets of the corrupt Democrats and their families.
Oops! The sheriff is an elected office. A bunch of racist, white BLM females on the LA County board can’t remove an elected sheriff. That’s up to the voters.
These 50 IQ, female commie clowns also can’t remove an elected member of the house. Nor an elected senator or a president.
LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva needs to use his investigative power to remove these commie clowns from the LA County board. I guarantee you that each of these democrat females are dirty, engaged in malfeasance, misfeasance and embezzlement.
You mean you want the sheriff out? Why?
Yep. The grey propaganda approach to this can be something along the lines of: ‘Support this measure so that we can finally rid ourselves of that greasy, Mexican sheriff that hates the brothers and sisters.’
Isaiah 3:12 has the following curse:
"As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them."
So, Are you saying that you are a scum sucking Lib? You side with the libs that are promoting this?
> , the board would be granted the power to remove an elected county sheriff for the first time in its history <
Really bad idea. A sheriff is elected by the people. If you’ve got a bad sheriff, okay. Schedule a recall election to remove him. But no county board should be able to remove an elected official.
Sad to say, but the idiot voters of Los Angeles...blah, blah, blah.
Your “idiot voters” elected a sheriff who is defying the leftist BLM racists on the LA County board.
“The grey propaganda approach to this can be something along the lines of: ‘Support this measure so that we can finally rid ourselves of that greasy, Mexican sheriff that hates the brothers and sisters.’
I don’t think so. Mexicans dominate LA County and will become the major demographic in LA County by 2023.
Cuz “Democracy”, yuh know
Add in there all elected Judges! Let’s see how that flies.
