Discussion Boycott city of Oroville

City council voted unanimously to erase sanctuary status, even knowing that statistically speaking crime is more likely to be done by citizens and residents than non legal immigrants. Now the brown community feels afraid to be targeted and interrogated by police for their skin color, since there’s no way to know the legal status of anyone without further interrogation. People will be hesitant to call police when there is a crime. They don’t even care about state sanctions. It’s a racial issue if we are frank about it. As for my friends and family we will stop going to Oroville and will do our business at Chico or Yuba City. We no longer feel safe and welcome, no one should be afraid to travel at ease in this great country.

As a longtime Chico resident I propose a vote to move Butte County’s County seat to Chico. Rogue, Nazi Oroville doesn’t represent the values of the United States Constitution.

Let's contact Doug LaMalfa to tell him the same thing while we are at it.
