LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva says he won't enforce vaccine mandate at his agency

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva this week said he doesn’t plan on enforcing a vaccine mandate at the department. 

The mandate requires all Los Angeles County employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1 and has exemptions only for religious and medical reasons. 

Villanueva, a Democrat, told guest host Raymond Arroyo on "The Ingraham Angle" on Friday that hundreds of sheriff’s employees have said they would be willing to lose their jobs rather than get the vaccine – and Los Angeles has too many crises like the surging homeless population for it to lose any more deputies.
