Progressive policies often endanger the lives of innocent people when it comes to law enforcement, and New Orleans has become a prime example.

This week, the woman known as “America’s first progressive sheriff” saw 10 prisoners, four of whom were convicted of murder, escape from the New Orleans jail, The Daily Wire reported.

Susan Hutson, who had never worked a day in law enforcement, was elected in December 2021.

Prior to her victory, New Orleans Public Radio said that “a Susan Hutson win could give New Orleans — and the U.S. — its 1st progressive sheriff.”

Well, congratulations, New Orleans, your “first progressive sheriff,” whose only experience prior to her election was as a “independent police monitor,” just had 10 dangerous inmates escape.

Hutson made a name for herself criticizing police, and New Orleans Public Radio said that she would “reform the criminal justice system with a left-wing ideology.”

“Hutson squeaked into office after the incumbent, another black Democrat, got 48% in the primary compared to her 35%, which led to a runoff since the incumbent did not get 50%. In the runoff, the dynamic flipped with the assistance of big-money out-of-state groups, including PAC for Justice, which wants to divert the jail budget to ‘social programs,’” The Daily Wire said.

And during the runoff is when big money came in to back Hutson in the form of a $200,000 donation from a national group named FWD.us, co-founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Other funds came from George Soros-funded groups, PAC for Justice, and others.

“Hutson said if elected, she would also support promoting women to deputies to diversify the workplace, helping to buck the national trend of the white male sheriff,” New Orleans Public Radio said.

Sean Kennedy of Virginians for Safe Communities, spoke to The Daily Wire and said that Hutson “was an anti-police activist lawyer who never wore a badge but won anyway with $160,000 from Soros PACs and another $200,000 from Mark Zuckerberg — neither of which (last time I checked) are from New Orleans.”

“George Soros and his allies have expanded their attempted takeover of the criminal justice system. On top of the $50 million Soros spent on prosecutors, he is now spending millions more to buy local sheriff races and install radical incompetents like he did in New Orleans, Phoenix, and on Cape Cod,” he said.
