Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman promises crackdown on illegal immigrants

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman has taken a tough stance on border crossings, promising that criminals will now face full accountability for their illegal actions. Hochman, who recently defeated progressive prosecutor George Gascón by a significant margin, is determined to crack down on crime in the county.

In a video posted on his social media account, Hochman emphasized the changes that are coming for criminals who previously enjoyed crossing the border into LA County with little to no consequences. He made it clear that times have changed and that a new era of prosecution and accountability has begun under his leadership.

Hochman, a former federal prosecutor and lifelong resident of Los Angeles, campaigned on a platform of being a “hard middle” candidate. He criticized Gascón’s liberal policies, which he believed led to increased crime rates and a lack of consequences for juvenile offenders. Hochman vowed to restore order and common sense to the criminal justice system in LA County.

During his campaign, Hochman accused Gascón of “catastrophic incompetence” and pledged to prioritize public safety and implement policies that hold criminals accountable in a smart and proportional manner. He garnered support from a diverse range of voters, including ultra-left liberals, independents, and conservative Republicans, all of whom shared a common concern for ensuring their safety and security.

Despite political differences among voters, Hochman believes that public safety is a unifying issue. He has vowed to address the concerns of all residents of LA County and to implement policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of the community.

Hochman’s tough-on-crime approach is a departure from Gascón’s more lenient policies, which included measures like Proposition 47, a voter-approved initiative that downgraded thefts and drug offenses to misdemeanors in certain cases. The new district attorney is committed to holding criminals accountable and restoring confidence in the criminal justice system.

As Hochman takes office, residents of Los Angeles can expect to see a shift in the approach to law enforcement and prosecution. With a focus on accountability and public safety, Hochman is determined to make LA County a safer place for all residents.
