A recent report highlights a significant shift in the landscape of American prosecutors. Since 2022, twenty-one prosecutors supported by billionaire George Soros have been replaced by those with tougher stances on crime. This change follows growing public dissatisfaction with policies perceived as lenient.
Breitbart News has reported that these changes are part of a broader reaction against what some describe as radical criminal justice reform initiatives. The report indicates that these policies were associated with an increase in crime rates, prompting voters to favor more traditional approaches to law enforcement.
The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF) provides data showing that since 2022, "21 prosecutors labeled as 'tough' have succeeded ones linked to Soros nationwide." Notable replacements include Kimberly Foxx from Cook County, Illinois, and Pamela Price from Alameda County, California.
This movement has been gaining traction across the United States. As of June 2022, there were approximately 75 Soros-backed prosecutors nationwide. However, backlash from voters—including Democrats—has led to this wave of electoral changes.
The ongoing efforts to replace these officials are highlighted by the recent removal of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón. The push for new leadership continues as communities seek alternatives they believe will better address crime concerns.
