Chris Mortiz’s California home was burglarized two nights in a row by an MS-13 gang member armed to the teeth, who was deported by Trump but allowed back here by Biden. A prosecutor told him his story was “relatable” and something Californians everywhere around the state are experiencing. Chris then decided to look further into the root of these crimes and the politicans, lawmakers, and policies in California that allow them to happen in the first place. Chris wrote “Failed State: A Portrait of California in the Twilight of Empire” to spread awareness about rogue prosecutors bankrolled by anarchist billionaires, open-border zealots who have transformed California into a cartel haven, and policymakers who have gutted public safety in the name of equity.
