A federal immigration agent has admitted that the moment Border Patrol agents swarmed an event hosted by California Gov. Gavin Newsom last summer was “purely political,” according to newly released court filings.
Newsom’s rally at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, on August 14 was held to introduce his “Election Rigging Response Act,” a reaction to Republican gerrymandering in Texas with a parallel operation in the Golden State to redraw its own electoral maps to cancel out any advantage.
