Not enforcing federal law is different from violating federal law. Marijuana legalization is more gray. ICE for sure is active even in so called sanctuary cities.

California likely won’t address the issue independently, as those most affected by forest fires often lean Republican, leaving little political incentive. Meanwhile, federal intervention seems unlikely since California’s electoral outcome is consistently Democratic, reducing any strategic motivation for federal support.

The result? Despite urgent needs, little action is taken on either side.

    Disagreed, the smoke impact alone affects huge swaths of high density (and deep blue) regions like the Bay Area. Additionally, controlled burns are most necessary in areas near density like the counties ringing the bay (that are still quite blue).
