Last Wednesday, California Rep. Bill Essayli (R-Riverside) announced he would push for a vote on AB2641, which would repeal sanctuary state protections for criminal illegals already convicted of sex crimes against minors. Reginald Jones-Sawyer, the preeminent chairman of the Public Safety Committee, is an alleged social justice warrior who advocates against crime and illegal aliens. Jones-Sawyer’s most recent piece was pushing through AB2031, which aimed to change the laws about how public money is used to spend on defending illegal criminals. After widespread public outcry, Jones-Sawyer withdrew the bill.
In 2023, Jones-Sawyer was behind blocking SB14, which sought to change the legal definition of human trafficking from a misdemeanor to a felony. Jones-Sawyer defeated the bill in committee, and without Gov. Gavin Newsom’s intervention it would have remained dead. The bill was voted on by the full House, passed by the full Legislature in September and signed by Newsom. It is Jones-Sawyer who allowed AB2641 to languish in committee because he apparently loves criminal illegals more than doing the right thing.
By forcing a floor vote, Essayli wanted Democrats to formally declare their support for this policy, which allows illegal criminals who target minors to move freely throughout the state to continue commit crimes.
California Democrats should be forced to take a stand on protecting sanctuaries for illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors, said Rep. Bill Essayli (R-Riverside). Essayli will force a vote on his bill on Tuesday. AB 2641 End sanctuary protections for illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors. Currently, Essayli’s bill is on hold because Democrats on the Public Safety Committee refuse to hear it.
We need to know why there are Democratic lawmakers in California who oppose a bill to protect American citizens from criminal illegal aliens.
Essayli wants California voters to watch this session to see where their elected representatives stand.
That vote took place on Tuesday and Essayli provided the link where California voters could stream the session. Essayli sought to debate the vote to suspend the rules so that AB2641 could be brought up. Assembly Speaker Pro Tempore Jim Wood turned off Essayli’s microphone in the middle of his speech.
So much for democracy.
MPs @billessayli tried to force a vote #AB2641which would revoke protected status for undocumented people who commit sex crimes.
His microphone was turned off and a motion to suspend the rules was defeated by 14 votes to 36. At the end of the video you can see how your legislator voted. pic.twitter.com/KRL4wAR6s0— Denise Aguilar (@InformedMama209) May 21, 2024
Democrats and quite a few Republicans have certainly made their stance known, not to protect California’s children, but to maintain the status quo. The most cowardly were the non-voters: those who voted neither yes nor no, but simply abstained from voting. Rightly, some were absent, but Essayli announced this vote well in advance so they knew it would take place. In a Democratic supermajority, every Republican vote counts, so there’s really no excuse.
If you need proof that the Democratic Party doesn’t care about the American people, you can find it here. When given the opportunity to deport convicted child molesters, not a single Democrat in the House voted for it. Shame on you. pic.twitter.com/4ynIoMl90R

The list of democratic no’s.
Cecilia Aguiar Curry, Dr. Joaquin Arambula, Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, Steve Bennett, Mia Bonta, Isaac Bryan, Lisa Calderon, Juan Carrillo, Wendy Carrillo, Mike Fong, Mike Gipson, Timothy Grayson, Matt Haney, Gregg Hart, Dr. Corey Jackson, Reginald Jones-Sawyer, Ash Kalra, Alex Lee, Josh Lowenthal, Kevin McCarty, Tina McKinnor, Stephanie Nguyen, Liz Ortega, Gail Pellerin, Cottie Petrie-Norris, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Luz Rivas, Freddie Rodriguez, Blanca Rubio , Miguel Santiago, Christopher Ward, Buffy Wicks, Lori Wilson, Jim Wood, Rick Zbur and House Speaker Robert Rivas.
And those cowards who didn’t bother to show up or abstained from voting.
Dawn Addis, David Alvarez, Jasmeet Bains, Marc Berman, Tasha Boerner, Sabrina Cervantes (absent), Phillip Chen (Republican), Damon Connolly, Megan Dahle (absent/Republican), Laura Friedman, Jesse Gabriel (absent), Eduardo Garcia, Chris Holden (absent), Jacqui Irwin, Evan Low, Brian Maienschein, Devon Mathis (absent/Republican), Al Muratsuchi, Blanca Pacheco, Diane Papan, James Ramos, Anthony Rendon, Eloise Gomez Reyes, Pilar Schiavo, Esmeralda Soria, Phil Ting , Avelino Valencia, Carlos Villapudua, Marie Waldron (Republican) and Akilah Weber.
Essayli was interviewed alongside Angel Mom Agnes Gibboney, whose son was murdered by an outlaw criminal 20 years ago. Gibboney has spent 20 years campaigning to get these protections changed, and she is rightly outraged that efforts to end this horrific, government-sanctioned horror have been rejected yet again. Gibboney’s outrage should be shared by every Californian. The names of the Assemblymembers are listed above for a reason: Each of them should be contacted so you can voice your outrage, and each of them should be voted out in November.

For Democrats, this is just another day at the Capitol – they literally don’t care. pic.twitter.com/uUxSPssIcO

As Essayli said, “They are carefree and easygoing. They just don’t care.”
