First in Fox: The Secretary of the Department of Vetarans Affairs, Doug Collins, sent letters to the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, this week alerting them on the impact that anti-there disturbances are having in the veteran community of the city.
The letter cites the “violent” riots as the reason why the VA decided to close its Angeles outpatient attention center for at least five days. He declared that the local agency leaders made the “difficult decision” after the outer walls of the building were disfigured with graffiti threatening the lives of federal immigration officials.
In total, more than 600 veteran citations were affected.

“In other words, the failure of their state to maintain law and order in Los Angeles comes between veterans and the medical care they have won,” said the letters, signed by Secretary Collins. “What has surprised me most about the city's response and the State to this terrible experience is that its main concern seems to be the virtue that indicates its opposition to the efforts of President Donald J. Trump to restore law and order throughout the city instead of protecting the angelen workers who are being victims of violent and other criminals.”
Collins added that the “city disassembled response and the State to the disturbances” raises questions about the safety of veterans, particularly those that benefit from federal VA programs, after the National Guard and other forces of federal law abandon the area.

The letter requested that both Newsom and Bass respond with specific steps that are currently taking to restore the law and order in the area where the Center for Care is closed. He also requested a state update on state and local investigations on the disfiguration of the center of attention that was closed, and requested that state and local authorities pay to repair the damage to the building since, according to the Charter of Collins, it was its lack of police presence that led to the disfiguration.
Both Newsom and Bass opposed any federal intervention to quell the disturbances, calling it unconstitutional and an overreach. Finally, Newsom, with the support of the Attorney General of California, Rob Bonta, filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration that sought an emergency restriction order to block the National Guard and other military personnel to help federal agents with application of immigration.

“The defendants, including President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have tried to bring military personnel and a 'warrior culture' to the streets of cities and towns where Americans work, go to school and raise their families,” says Newsom's demand. “Now, they have changed their eyes to California with devastating consequences, establishing a road map to continue throughout the country.”
