They voted, not to remove him from office nor to restrict his law enforcement powers, but to supplant his authority to hire & fire. He wasn't firing the unvaxxed deputies, and the board of supervisors says they will get someone else to fire them out from under him.
I was under the impression that the Sheriff is the highest constitutional authority there is.
A city council can't do shit to his authority because he's an elected official that answers solely to the constituency.
He could order them all arrested for violating peoples rights and he'd be within his legal powers to do so.
I'd like to see him arrest the DA for nonfeasance. I'm sure there are legal barriers that I'm unaware of, but I'd still like to see it.
