Tuberville calls for LA mayor to be 'locked up': DHS official says Karen Bass' arrest is 'on the table'

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville has called for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to be arrested, a move which a Department of Homeland Security officials says is “on the table.”

........

Tuberville made a post on X saying to “Lock her up” in reference to the video of Bass calling for the federal immigration agents to leave MacArthur Park.

.....


Last month Tuberville also called for California Governor Gavin Newsom to be arrested after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids erupted in Los Angeles.

But during an interview with Fox News Monday night, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, said that arresting Bass was, “on the table,” if she attempted to intervene in immigration raids.

The raids are likely to increase as Bovino stated on X, “We may well go back to MacArthur Park or other places in and around Los Angeles.

And Senate Dems immediately made a resolution to censure Tuberville, right?

He can't muck up the works by holding up confirmations, but he can get in the news by declaring so and so should be locked up. He really has no reason to exist except to irritate reasonable people.

They do literally nothing but go on that stupid channel and kiss his worthless 24 hours a day. All they do is complain and complain and complain when really they should look in the mirror and see that it's their own fault. Fox has been around for 25 years, and our country has been going to shit ever since then. All of this disaster you can blame on Fox somehow.
