Paso Robles City Councilwoman supports interfering with ICE agents

December 30, 2025

Agents arresting suspect in Paso Robles

By KAREN VELIE

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has increased operations in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties over the past three days. Misinformation on social media about the operation is creating fear in local immigrant communities.

Early Tuesday morning, texts and social media posts reported ICE agents were in both Paso Robles and San Miguel. The texts told undocumented immigrants to stay in their residences, causing many to stay home from work.

The Department of Homeland Security informed city staff that federal agents were serving warrants on the north side of Paso Robles.

Multiple protestors followed the federal agents’ vehicles, honking their horns to warn undocumented immigrants. Others screamed through a bullhorn at federal agents to “get the fuck out” of their neighborhood.

While locals screamed, blew whistles and honked their horns near the intersection of 32nd and Spring streets, Paso Robles City Councilwoman Kris Beal voiced her support of those interfering with federal agents.

“I am so proud of all the volunteers and caring neighbors,” Beal wrote on social media on Tuesday morning. “If you hear the horns, whistles and bullhorns, go to them and bear witness.”

In response, mutiple social media posters thanked the Paso Robles Police Department for interfering with ICE agents.

However, Paso Robles police officers insist they are not interfering or working with ICE agents.

30 years ago I was a proud Democrat. I believed in free speech, individual rights, taking care of the less fortunate, government for the people and by the people, free expression of religion and keeping government of my personal life. I also believed in a free economy where responsible capitalism thrived through competitive markets but with government preventing monopolies. However, it was the left creep to radicalism that made me change, first to independent and later to Libertarian and finally, due to both ideologies refusal to protect innocent life, to Republican.


I look now at the Democrat party and realize I’m still the same, just older but the Democrat party has moved so far to the radical left that it may as well rename itself. It believes in government censorship of “hate” speech, and that’s a moving target. It believes in 9 month abortion. It abhors private ownership but loves open borders (no sovereignty, thus no country). It promotes racism by promoting favored races (moving target). It supports violence against those with non conforming views. Essentially, facisim or Marxism.


I still consider myself a classic liberal, but frankly, in today’s teminology I am a conservative. It is amusing to me how many Democrats really don’t know what party they belong to and what it stands for. If they did I really think they would either refrain from voting or switch to a more appropriate party.

This morally insane city council person is demonstrating that they are unfit for public office. She behaves like a card carrying member of the Democrat Fraud Industrial Complex.

Any person who assaults, interferes, impedes, resists, opposes or intimidates a federal agent performing official duties is committing a federal crime.


You can protest your elected officials. These actions against law enforcement are undemocratic and criminal. The assemblywoman should go to jail for incitement to violence.
