The letter alludes to Gupta’s poor stance on law and order, given her support for defunding the police and for the openly Marxist organization Black Lives Matter.
“Endorsing such a radical nominee is no way to bring about unity. Our local law enforcement officers protect our families, our neighborhoods, and our cities, often at great risk to themselves,” the five attorneys general, Todd Rokita of Indiana, Leslie Rutledge of Arkansas, Mike Hunter of Oklahoma, Jeff Landry of Louisiana, and Ken Paxton of Texas note. “Policies to limit their ability to do their job will not make us safer but will instead put us — and them — at an increased risk of violence. Meanwhile criminals who have no respect for the law or human life will be given more freedom to wreak havoc on our streets.”
In September, Gupta’s interest group, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, urged Congress to “redirect government dollars away from policing practices rooted in the criminal-legal system and carceral state and toward practices that reflect a vision of public safety that promotes community health and rebuilds trust.” As first reported by The Federalist, the organization published a 416-page report in March 2019 calling to abolish police in all schools, and advocated for “community policing” over “real” policing measures carried out by trained law enforcement.
