EXPOSED: Soros-Backed DA Caught Hiding Records After Migrant Legal Scheme Goes Public

- George Gascón’s office suddenly stopped recording cases involving illegal immigrants after media scrutiny exposed taxpayer-funded legal aid scheme
- DA’s office now claims ‘records do not exist’ following investigative reporting on controversial sanctuary policies
- Pattern of obstruction raises alarm bells about transparency and accountability in radical progressive prosecutor’s office
A far-left district attorney’s office appears to have stopped documenting cases involving illegal immigrants after investigative reporting revealed his office was providing them with free legal assistance. The timing raises serious questions about transparency and what officials are trying to hide.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón’s office has informed journalists that records related to cases involving migrants receiving legal help from his office suddenly “do not exist.” This convenient development comes after media outlets exposed the controversial program that uses taxpayer resources to defend illegal immigrants.
⚖️ Soros DA Larry Krasner’s office has been giving free legal help to migrants with serious, violent charges for years now.
Now, they won’t even give us the documents allowing the @DailyCaller News Foundation to report on it after a public records request.

“Records responsive to the Request do not exist,” the DA’s office stated in response to public records inquiries.
The pattern is troubling. After journalists shined a light on Gascón’s sanctuary-style policies that provided legal representation to illegal immigrants facing criminal charges, the documentation trail appears to have vanished. Critics argue this looks like a deliberate attempt to avoid public accountability for policies that prioritize criminal aliens over law-abiding citizens.
Gascón, who received substantial funding from progressive mega-donor George Soros, has been under fire for soft-on-crime policies that have contributed to rising lawlessness in Los Angeles County. His office’s refusal to maintain or produce records on migrant cases adds another layer to concerns about his administration’s commitment to transparency.
The lack of documentation makes it impossible for taxpayers to know how many illegal immigrants are receiving free legal services, what crimes they’re accused of committing, or how much this program costs the public. That appears to be exactly the point.
Immigration enforcement advocates argue that district attorneys should be cooperating with federal authorities to remove criminal aliens, not providing them with legal assistance to remain in the country. The fact that Gascón’s office has now made it impossible to track these cases only deepens suspicions about the true scale of the program.
This isn’t the first time Gascón has faced accusations of hiding information from the public. His tenure has been marked by controversial decisions to reduce charges for violent criminals, eliminate cash bail in many cases, and refuse to prosecute quality-of-life crimes that have devastated Los Angeles communities.
The timing of the records disappearance is particularly suspicious. Public officials have a legal obligation to maintain documentation of their activities, especially when taxpayer resources are involved. The claim that records simply “do not exist” strains credibility when they clearly existed before media scrutiny arrived.
Californians have grown increasingly frustrated with sanctuary policies that shield illegal immigrants from federal immigration enforcement, particularly when those individuals have committed crimes. Gascón’s apparent attempt to hide the extent of his office’s involvement in protecting criminal aliens from accountability represents a new low in progressive prosecutor activism.
The situation underscores the broader problem with radical district attorneys who view their role as social justice activists rather than law enforcement officials. When prosecutors prioritize ideology over public safety and transparency, communities suffer the consequences.
Americans deserve better.
