Governor Newsom Brings in State Support for Rail Theft in Los Angeles, Highlights State Efforts to Fight and Prevent Crime

Los Angeles, CA...Governor Gavin Newsom today joined Union Pacific representatives, elected officials, law enforcement and Caltrans crews at the Union Pacific railroad in Los Angeles, the site of a recent spike in theft, to announce a multi-agency effort to clean up the railway and highlight the state’s efforts to combat theft and hold perpetrators accountable.



Governor Newsom works alongside Union Pacific representatives and Caltrans crews to clean the area of litter.




At Governor Newsom’s direction, Caltrans crews will assist Union Pacific in their efforts over the next few days to clean up the impacted area. Additionally, the California Highway Patrol will continue its efforts to coordinate with local law enforcement to help prevent theft on railways in Los Angeles.

“What has happened on this stretch of the Union Pacific railroad is unacceptable,” said Governor Newsom. “We are committed to an all-of-government approach to prevent thefts, prosecute the criminals involved, and clean up local communities.”

One month ago, Governor Newsom rolled out his proposed Real Public Safety Plan, which directly addresses rail theft and calls for bolstering local law enforcement response, supporting  prosecutors in their efforts to hold perpetrators accountable, and getting guns and drugs off our streets. The Plan includes $255 million in grants for local law enforcement to increase presence at retail locations and combat organized retail crime, along with $18 million to create a dedicated state team of special investigators and prosecutors in the Attorney General’s Office to prosecute cross-jurisdictional theft-related crimes. Further, the Plan calls for the creation of a permanent Smash and Grab Enforcement Unit operated by CHP that will work with local law enforcement to crack down on organized rail, retail and auto theft in counties across the state.

To tackle the massive amount of litter created by the thefts, California is taking immediate action to support cleanup efforts – doing here what the Clean California program has done throughout the state. Since its launch in 2021, the Governor’s $1.1 billion Clean California initiative has expanded state and local litter abatement efforts and engaged communities in projects to create beautiful, safe public spaces. Clean California is generating new jobs for working Californians with an emphasis on hiring people exiting homelessness, at-risk youth, veterans, those reentering society from incarceration, local artists and students. Within the past 6 months, Caltrans collected more than 5,666 tons of litter.

More information on the Real Public Safety Plan can be found here.

It looks like Newsom is realizing what he’s doing to our state. Yes, we’re a third world country!! More proof, trying to take away my hard earned health benefits the add 13% to our state tax and give it to immigrants. Better vote correctly if it’s on the ballot!!! This is scary stuff, Biden has shown his true colors so now Newsom’s doing his part. Pathetic indeed!!

    Exactly! Why did it take Newsome so longb to react to this problem? That much garbage & theft did not happen onernight. Perhaps he is more interestested in his stupid expensive Socialized medicine program for all, yup, citizens & non citizens. Good luck finding health professionals that can treat you in a timely manner on the meager welfare substinance he is actually peddaling

          Some would say it's more about people not seeing any opportunities to better themselves when in current America, you're basically born into a good life or not. Not making any excuses for gangs and crime but I would remind there is something very wrong with a country that rewards the wealthy and everyone else is fed scraps.

            I would remind all those complaining here about Newsom that your time could be much better spent finding and developing a legitimate opposition candidate for this fall's election.
            As much as we all enjoy hearing all you losers cry, whine and complain about him, it's only fair to tell our local Jethro Nation they need to get busy. Newsom kicked your ass last year, kicked your ass four years ago, and is going to kick your ass again this November. If you're not serious about giving California a Republican option that's not just another Trump testicle licker, you're going to enjoy four more years of Newsom's public policies.
            Enjoy!

      It took so long to react because there was a train derailment and he had to act due to the news media covering the story otherwise this would still be going on. This mess hasn't been a secret but it took a train crash for the slanted media to pick it up

Gavy needs. To be there tomorrow and every day thereafter, till the thugs in LA quit doing this, because they will all be serving tim, lots of it! By the way Gavy , like our president will never allow a photo op to go to waste! Every person in south central that is receiving welfare needs to be there, or else, no more welfare checks. Just go to Wal-mart the first of the month and see the very same problem here! Many able bodied getting free, with no intent to find work. Just like the so-called homeless in the Wal-Mart parking lot, when right behind them, every business is pleading for employees! Get a clue Libtards!

        Gavin yelling and calling it out looking like a third world country? Maybe come out of the glass house,and take a look at what we all see everyday. Short minded and hypocritical. Is becoming very typical of the Liberal Democratic Party. Every time they point a finger- three more pointing back at you and them. Embarrassing. How’s the back of Joe’s head looking? Coward in Chief.

          Thanks for asking. Everything about Joe Biden is looking great. Really enjoying his stare down of Putin at the Ukrainian border. That takes guts. Biden showing the world what a weak bully Putin is, even with 100,000 troops behind him.
          You go Joe! Very proud of our current president.

    Newsom will do that long before Republicans show up and clean off the pee and feces they deposited and spread on the walls and floors of our nation's captiol January 6th.
    Aren't you Republicans all proud of that?

              Only thing Democrats keep hanging on to is January 6. How about working on the current Dementia Patient. Joey and everyone in his administration is a complete failure and embarrassment to not only Americans. The whole world is laughing. Get out of the bubble you live in and realize they don’t feel sorry for Americans. They no longer fear us. Sorry but like most of your life full of mistakes- voting for the false Resident Joey was the biggest mistake.

Guess they looked at the photo's. Because they were never taught to read. It's spelled out before them, yet get it wrong regardless. Calaveras County hee ha Jethro let's go get er don!

Your criticism of our governor is without merit. One million new jobs created in CA this past year which also translates to 1/4 of all jobs created in the entire country. Of course, not the kinds of jobs available to those without an advanced education or specialized training.
