Los Angeles County sheriff won't enforce vaccine mandate

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County sheriff says he will not enforce the county's vaccine mandate in his agency.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who oversees the largest sheriff's department in the county with roughly 18,000 employees, said Thursday in a Facebook Live event that he does not plan to carry out the county's mandate, under which Los Angeles County employees had to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1.

The mandate was issued by executive order in August and allows only for religious and medical exemptions. Villanueva said his employees are willing to be terminated rather than get vaccinated.

“I don’t want to be in a position to lose 5, 10% of my workforce overnight on a vaccine mandate,” the sheriff said.

He's a Cop first, MAYBE a Democrat second.

His loyalties lie to the badge, NOT AT ALL TO THE PUBLIC HE SUPPOSEDLY SERVES.

Only an election can remove them.
There cannot even be a recall.

Depending on the state removal is only possible by a hearing before the stat Supreme Court that has to agree to hear it. In other states (I.e., Fla.) the Governor can do it.
