Activists gathered outside dozens of California detention centers and called for Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to grant mass clemency to inmates in response to surging rates of COVID-19 infections in prisons around the country.

A press release from the California Liberation Collective indicated that protesters gathered in 30 separate locations outside of various state detention facilities including California State Prison Solano and San Quentin State Prison, where activists displayed banners referring to the facilities as Newsom's "COVID death camp[s]."

"He was told he would be released and he signed parole papers to be released in July due to COVID, but the state has yet to release him. We are speaking out not only on behalf of my brother, but all family members who have loved ones who are at risk due to COVID. We are urging humanity over punishment," the activist, Najmah Brown, added.

A list of demands released by the California Liberation Collective along with the protests called on Newsom to grant mass clemency to inmates and a cessation of the transfer of suspected undocumented immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

"With the stroke of the pen [Newsom] can free people from state prisons, through mass clemency and emergency release; he can stop transferring our community members in between prisons and ICE detention centers, which is a proven source of the spread of the virus; he can stop allowing immigration detention to expand in California; and he can hold the detention industry accountable," added Priya Arvind Patel, an immigration attorney with Centro Legal de la Raza, told The Hill.

America’s enemies want thugs released from prison, and they want their allies unemployed. They are not just willing to destroy America, that is their goal.

Unless they are dying by the thousands, sounds and a no real big deal.

Centro Legal de la Raza,


What do you suppose ‘de la Raza’ translates to in English?

Why not. Let the murderers and rapists loose to prey on CA residents.

In California the close relatives and personal friends of incarcerated felons could fill mobs of thousands without even bus trips of Soros paid protest rioters.

Newsom's "COVID death camp[s]."

I think they are talking about all of state's counties.

“Activists gathered outside dozens of California detention centers”

Did they practice social distancing? Oh I forgot. Protesters are immune to Covid-19.

This is a two fold sound decision. First, they will be released about the time Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are totally open, and two, they will be released with a song in their hearts about Newsome and the libs right at election time. And we all know how they can count anyone’s vote in California, whether they are registered, dead, or legally allowed to vote.

Besides, if anyone is killed by one of these animals it can be called death by C-19 and add to the numbers they are losing out on to use as evidence of the need for the lockdown. Called job security.

If covid is in jail, wouldn’t releasing the prisoners spread it?
