(CBN News) A sheriff in California said he will not uphold Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new COVID-19 lockdown order against residents, which takes effect on Sunday.
Newsom announced the initiative on Thursday. The rules are said to be more restrictive than the first statewide stay-at-home order he issued in March.
But Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes released a statement on Saturday, revealing that deputies will not respond to calls for enforcement of mask-wearing, group gatherings, or stay-at-home orders.
