LA County sheriff says his deputies will not enforce latest shutdown order

The sheriff of Los Angeles County, California, says his deputies will not enforce a newly enacted coronavirus lockdown order from Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“I want to stay away from business [sic] that are trying to comply. They bent over backwards to modify their operations to conform to these orders, and then they have the rug yanked out from under them. That’s a disservice. I don’t want to make them more miserable,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva told Fox 11 Los Angeles on Thursday in response to Newsom’s announcement that the state will impose additional restrictions on areas where ICU bed availability drops below 15%.
