Bureaucratic bungling is morphing into scandal in California, and former Attorney General Kamala Harris scrambled in December to keep the paperwork snafus away from the incoming Trump administration before she moved to Washington to be sworn in as California’s junior senator.
The problem is twofold. To begin with, what’s known as CalGang in California — a law enforcement intelligence system meant to keep track of criminal gang members — is all messed up. That would be bad enough, but paperwork errors in local and state governments are not unusual.
What complicates this particular pencil-pushing nightmare is President-elect Trump’s promise to immediately deport, some say without due process, illegal aliens who are found to be criminal gang members.
