As coronavirus cases surge in California's rural Central Valley, a self-declared 'sanctuary city for business' is defiant, even as the state is threatening to withdraw funding. On both sides of the debate, everyone agrees: It's political.

Atwater had not just flattened the COVID-19 case curve. “We’ve smashed the curve,” he declared., allowing all businesses to reopen in defiance of California’s shutdown orders.Cases have surged past 800 in Atwater. Merced County is on the state’s coronavirus watch list. And federal officials have declared the rural, agricultural Central Valley one of the nation’sWhat has not changed is Atwater’s defiance.

The tussle comes as COVID-19 cases have exploded in Merced County. The county had 5,012 confirmed cases as of Friday. On June 6, it had just 343 cases. Atwater had 831 confirmed cases as of Friday. On June 6, it had confirmed 32 cases. Newsom’s decision to target the Central Valley coincides with his funding standoff with Atwater and Coalinga, a city of 16,000 in Fresno County.On July 23, Mark Ghilarducci, director of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, sent letters to the city managers of Atwater and Coalinga, which passed a resolution in May declaring all businesses to be essential.

“To be honest,” she wrote, “I am not aware of any businesses in Coalinga operating against the existing orders. There is nowhere in Coalinga that I can dine in. None of our restaurants are even offering outdoor dining. I have not seen a single hair salon, barbershop or nail salon open.”In Atwater, the politically potent “sanctuary city” label won support from officials across the U.S. and quickly landed Creighton on “Fox & Friends,” where he called state lockdown orders “draconian.

Should be the same for whoever disrespects our anthem no cash for athletes!!! Thought we had our rights ? Fuck Democrat ran cities and states. Please Vote all Republican to save America!!! Por favor voten Republicano!!!

Whoa. Didn’t the state sue trump when he said no cash for sanctuary states.

What if they’re just protesting? We were told that none of the rules apply if you’re protesting

No Yuan for you.

California don’t bitch when the feds don’t give you a dime

You know, it’s sad that some Americans are too stupid to do what will help America get back on its feet. They must have the mentality of you know who and it’s not a Harry Potter character.

Hypocrites, much?

California today👇 💪

Atwater is part of the problem not part of the solution I agree. But they sure will put their hands on a Stimulas check. Pathetic.

ihatethemedia Hope the gov remembers that when begging trump for federal funds.

I have an idea if they take in illegal immigrants without masks, the state won't take away their money.

AngelaKrebs444 Damn right! If you not part of the solution - you’re literally helping to spread CV19!!!

From the state that gave you GAY MARRIAGE

This CIVIL WAR will begin in the WEST. I hope every single DEMOCRATIC CRIME LORD is TAKEN INTO CUSTODY & OFFERED 2 CHOICES 1. LEAVE 2. HANG.

And withholding the money ultimately hurts....California? Sounds like another brilliant California plan.

'cases'

800+ cases NOW *That's a shame* *So Sad* TrumpVirus

Stupid city xouncil

People get what they deserve.

You are fake news.

Who gives a shit about cases. How many deaths?

JJohnsonLaw Darwin. I would be fine with the science-denying morons dying off over this, but they’re spreading the infection out to the rest of us during the process.

Need more proof than that

The word “cases” means nothing. The tests are garbage everyone knows it.

I pledge allegiance to the ignorance that is trump.

It’s quite a crew.

🙄🙄🙄🙄idiots

800?

Smart.

Pendejos.

California Central valley is paying the price of Atwater's stupidity; it's now a hotspot where infections are rising most rapidly in California

.0005% (or about 15 people, given a high 4% chance of mortality) may have died from that. But let the hate and 'you deserve it' comments come from people who ignore the mathematics of this one.

here’s hoping this discourages other CCs from appropriating “sanctuary city”

On May 14, Eric Garcetti mandated by fiat that everyone wear a mask at all times in public and shutdowns that devastated the economy and people's livelihoods. Suicides, overdoses, domestic abuse all on the rise. Yesterday LA County had more new infections than all but one state.

Good, atwater did the same thing many other countries did like sweden and denmark. good on them.

Karma is a motherfucker!!!

California is turning into Venezuela ...

smdh

Reality has a way of biting you in the butt, non-believers.

y'all needa stop rubbing each other's toes !!!

Bet they feel dumb

Geez 😮

The reasons why many Americans refuse to wear masks

You can start here. The employees don’t wear masks and neither do the customers.

People that don't wear masks are selfish, self-absorbed, ignoramus who have no sense of civic responsibility to their community, state or country. WearAMask

california to the federal government (after defying its immigration laws): give us our money!!

'...I believe this ‘plandemic’ is entirely designed to not only bring down our economy but to destroy our president.” How do they square that with covid being the 'China Virus'...who so they think 'designed' it...Chinese...Democrats...

Sounds similar to Trump denying Federal funds to Sanctuary cities not following the law.

'Endangers the health & welfare of its citizens.' Gee, that's NOT an overly broad directive. Does releasing 1000's prisoners early b/c of Covid not endanger the public health & welfare? Or having no bail? Or rioting & looting?

Now do Orange County

Yet democrats are refusing to pass a short term extension of the relief bill because the GOP doesn’t want to bail out failed states, not because of covid, but because of their own incompetence. Such shameful actions and such hypocrisy. MAGA2020 Trump2020

California sanctuary cities defying Federal immigration law: No Federal dollars for you

Time for you California people to grow some nuts and stand up for democracy instead of electing liberals and communist leaders. You get what you elected.

Wasn’t California decrying Trump withholding federal funds recently? Pot, meet kettle.

Just cheat like hell on your taxes.

Democrats using their torture control methods once again. They waited their whole lives for this CCP Virus

when it comes down to some people, they only care when it hits them in the face or in the purse strings. imagine if the feds sent secret police to snatch up non-maskers!? ohTheHumanity

Fair enough. Spread it, or live. Why is this difficult?

Why should the state reward bad behavior? HBFD_PIO HBPD_PIO CityofHBPIO
