Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón faces a recall effort less than three months into his term over his progressive criminal justice reforms.

officials, claim Gascón, who ran on a progressive campaign to implement sweeping change in the district attorney’s office, has prioritized criminals over victims since taking office less than three months ago.

“Research shows that excessive sentencing practices have exacerbated recidivism leading to more victims of crime,” he added. “Our system of justice can’t continue to rely on policies that create more victims tomorrow simply because some victims want the maximum punishment imposed in their case today.”

Since taking office, Gascón has quickly moved to overhaul the district attorney’s office through a series of directives, including no longer seeking the death penalty and stopping the practice of trying juveniles as adults.

Wake up people. The is a plan by the Republicans to focus on all voting rights.

What does this refer to: ““However, within minutes of being sworn in, he made other, drastic changes that he did not disclose when campaigning that are letting violent and dangerous criminals back out onto our streets.” There’s no elaboration. Is there anything to this claim?

People hate progressives. Change is not easy.

Pretty soon Californians are going to try to recall EVERY candidate they don't like. Why the hell campaign in a state where you make one decision a group of people don't like, and they try to recall you. Another reason not to live in CA.

The new dirty trick of Trumpsters to remove our Democratic officials and retain power . Wake up fight back before it is too late . Let’s start recalling their officials !

Sounds like republicans are behind all this recall schemes. Becareful of em snakes, they are out there trying to criminalize every liberal, and make you leave under WS conservative rules.

What’s up in California that they want to recall everyone? As I far I remember they recalled governor Brown I believe. And then they went almost bankrupt until they elected again Democrats that fixed everything and turn the state in the 5th economy in the whole world 🌎. So🤷

He sounds like refugee from Guatemala! Better check his papers
