Chuck Norris, martial artist and star of the popular television series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” took issue with the Golden State’s “lax immigration laws” after the recent death of a California police officer.
The actor noted that an illegal immigrant, Gustavo Perez Arriaga, killed Cpl. Ronil Singh of the Newman Police Department the day after Christmas, in an article titled “How Many More California Cops Could Die?” on Dec. 30 in his weekly column on the news website, WND.
“Tragically, Singh is another innocent victim in a long line of murders by illegals in the Golden State where borders are porous and returned deportations are plentiful,” wrote Norris.

Perez Arriaga shot Singh during a traffic stop and was later arrested while trying to flee to Mexico. Singh, 33, left behind a wife and a 5-month-old son.
Norris also pointed out that Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson has blamed California’s sanctuary law for preventing authorities from reporting Perez Arriaga to immigration officials after the man was arrested twice in the past for drunk driving. If Perez Arriaga had been deported, the sheriff said, Singh would still be alive, reported AP.
“We can’t ignore the fact that this could have been preventable,” Sheriff Christianson told reporters. He asked why California was “providing sanctuary for criminals (and) gang members. It’s a conversation we need to have.”
On Dec. 18, another illegal alien, Gustavo Garcia, conducted a “reign of terror” in Tulare County, according to officials, killing one person, robbing a store, stealing a vehicle, and injuring several other people, before dying in a car crash during a high-speed chase with police.
Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux told the Fresno Bee that he agreed with a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that stated the “deadly rampage could have been prevented” if the agency had been notified of Garcia’s release from jail after he was arrested previously for being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Sheriff Boudreaux said California’s laws need to be changed to allow law enforcement to better communicate with ICE officials, reported the Bee.
Norris also expressed concern over legislative proposals such as AB 931, a bill that would have limited the use of deadly force by law enforcement in California to “situations where it is necessary” instead of when “there is a reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm,” as the law currently states.
A big thanks to all my fans over the decades. I appreciate every one of you.

The legislation was introduced in February 2017 but was tabled before the legislature’s deadline in August 2018. However, Democratic Assemblywoman Shirley Weber promised to introduce a new bill addressing law enforcement use of force in January 2018, according to NBC.
“While California Democrats … are making it easier for illegals to come into the state and commit crimes, they are simultaneously making it more difficult for law enforcement to protect citizens and themselves,” wrote Norris. “Why can’t they see the sheer and dangerous dichotomy there? It puts California cops in double jeopardy!”
Norris asked why Californians elect politicians who refuse to enforce immigration laws and protect criminals by not cooperating with ICE. He also called on the state to “do more to support President Trump’s bolstering of California’s southern border.”
“This is not a partisan issue, but a safety issue. We must protect cops, not put them in further harm’s way, so they can also protect us,” he wrote.
