Gavin Newsom Closes Interstate During Live Fire Demonstration at Camp Pendleton

Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement on ensuring public safety during a live fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton, after the federal government early Saturday confirmed with state and local authorities the event would occur:

“The President is putting his ego over responsibility with this disregard for public safety. Firing live rounds over a busy highway isn’t just wrong — it’s dangerous. Using our military to intimidate people you disagree with isn’t strength — it’s reckless, it’s disrespectful, and it’s beneath the office he holds. Law and order? This is chaos and confusion.

In California, we are proud to honor our military and the sacrifices they continue to make for our country. As we all recognize the 250th anniversary of the Armed Forces, let us remember the guiding principles upon which our founding fathers built this great nation and hold dearly those inherent rights that we all share.”

The state was recently informed that the White House intended to hold a major event between Friday, October 17 and Saturday, October 18 at Camp Pendleton that involved firing live artillery rounds over the I-5 freeway. Governor Newsom condemned this absurd show of force.

On Thursday, October 16, the U.S. Marine Corps confirmed their exercise would be conducted on its training ranges, as it routinely does, but not over the freeway. That afternoon, the federal government also directed cancellation of train services, which run parallel to the I-5, on Saturday between Orange County-San Diego County.

Late on Friday, the state then received notice from event organizers asking for CalTrans signage to be posted along the I-5 freeway that would read: “Overhead fire in progress.”

Also on Friday, state officials near Camp Pendleton observed live munitions being fired near the freeway, an apparent practice run.

Early Saturday morning, after the state inquired once again for details, the federal government informed the state that live fire activities have now been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today.

Due to extreme life safety risk and distraction to drivers, including sudden unexpected and loud explosions, a section of I-5 will be closed for a period on Saturday, October 18. This decision comes at the recommendation of traffic safety experts at the California Highway Patrol.

I-5 is Southern California’s economic backbone, supporting over 80,000 travelers and moving $94 million in freight everyday between San Diego and Orange Counties. Just north of Oceanside, more than 65,000 vehicles cross county lines daily — half those trips for work. That’s $8.2 million lost in daily visitor spending alone. Thousands of truck shipments count on uninterrupted access.

Because of the federal government’s plans, drivers should expect delays on Interstate 5 and other state routes throughout Southern California before, during and after the event. Before traveling through the region, drivers are encouraged to visit quickmap.dot.ca.gov for real-time traffic information.

    The CHO report outlines that the incident happened at 1:46 p.m. when a 155 mm artillery round fired from White’s Beach — roughly three-quarters of a mile south of Las Pulgas Road — “detonated midair over Interstate 5.”

    Some shrapnel hit a CHP vehicle. Good thing they closed the I-5!!!

    It was all to appease BJ Vance and Pete Hogshead they wanted to see a mock amphibious landing. Could have killed people . They don’t care especially if they are Californians . What a couple of low life flat headed small dicks

      Well the entire nation hates Californians, especially the politicians. Look how bad Newsom Fu€ed up our state. Worst pollution, worst financially run state ten years in a row, highest unemployment in the nation, highest gas prices, highest electric rates, highest poverty rates in the nation, worst state to run a business in the nation, least educated state of adults aged 25 plus, (most dumbacraps, so it’s not a coincidence) highest debt of all states in the nation, worst roads in the nation, the worst quality of life in the nation. Thats just what makes America hate CA liberal dumpacraps so much. Most people would rather step in dog shit then listen or talk to a liberal Califorian.

        Well you forgot gasoline prices hit a record low… oh, except in Califorina.

        Here’s the news in most other states that are under Repu license governors anyway.

        The average gas price around the country fell below $3 a gallon, with the lowest intra-day price since May 2021, according to Gas Buddy. The Trump White House touted the accomplishment. There were a total of 35 states that had an average gas price below $2.99 a gallon on Monday.

    Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday that in the first nine months of the Trump administration, her department has made nearly 500,000 arrests of illegal immigrants, the majority of which have criminal charges and/or convictions.

    “Today marks nine months since President Trump has been in office and since he began his work to restore American safety for our families that live here. What he has accomplished for the American people is nothing short of extraordinary. We appreciate what he has done to make us safe again, to secure our borders and to make sure that he’s protecting our people.”

    Noem said that since January, the DHS has “arrested over 480,000 criminal illegal aliens, 70 percent of those individuals have criminal charges against them or have been convicted of those criminal charges.”

    “Across the country, we’re making communities safer so that families can thrive and they can prosper and they can enjoy the kind of freedom that this country was established to provide.”

    Noem cited a recent Harvard Harris poll during her Monday address, which found that 78 percent of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, and 56 percent of Americans support deporting all migrants in the US illegally.

    Among those arrested in Florida, where she gave her Monday address, were Cuban national Erick Carlos Artiles Ramos, who had been convicted of homicide, kidnapping, driving under the influence, and robbery armed carjacking; El Salvadorian national Oscar Alfredo Retana Marroquin, who had previously been convicted of sexual assault of a child and driving under the influence; and Mexican national Arturo Sanchez Morales, who has convictions for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor, incest with a minor, and driving under the influence.

    Whoa, those illegals love to rape children just like dumpacraps do!

      6ft separation and cheap medical masks will prevent transmission of covid, and with the “vaccine” you can’t catch or spread covid, either.
      Also, if you chop off your genitals you can become the opposite gender, easy-peasy.
      Men can become pregnant.
      Climate change is man-made, the climate never changed until the last century. All the ice at the poles melted by 2010, just like Gore foretold. Animal extinctions only started happening when we invented internal combustion engines.
