Los Angeles Prosecutors Union Sues New Progressive D.A. Gascón Over Special Orders

On Wednesday morning, a union representing about 800 prosecutors filed a civil lawsuit against their newly-elected boss, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, alleging he has ignored laws mandated by constitutional and statutory authority.

The Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County (ADDA) is seeking a writ of mandate from the court, which would compel D.A. Gascón to rescind several of his new policies, declaring them “invalid and illegal.”
