Facing rising crime in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago, grassroots movements have sprung up to recall the liberal prosecutors tasked with protecting these cities.

Residents of San Francisco have authorized a recall election in an attempt to remove District Attorney Chesa Boudin, son of convicted Weather Underground terrorists David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin. Since taking office in 2020, Boudin has largely sought to eliminate cash bail, offered more lenient sentences to criminals, and helped unleash a wave of robberies and car break-ins. This has led to a 150% increase in thefts in certain districts. Additionally, more than 50 attorneys have either been fired or resigned from their positions due to sharp disagreements with Boudin’s refusal to prosecute crime.
