The governor claimed he and other guests followed social distancing guidelines during the party, but photos circulated online showing the group socializing in close quarters, indoors, and without masks.<\/p>\n<p>Other police officers in the state echoed Mims&#8217;s position and said they would encourage compliance and boost education efforts about the dangers of the virus&#8217;s spread without arresting people. Sacramento County sheriff Scott Jones <a href=\"https:\/\/sacramento.cbslocal.com\/2020\/11\/19\/deputies-wont-enforce-curfew-sheriff-sacramento\/\">said<\/a> his department would not enforce the curfew, limitations on social gatherings, or masks mandates.<\/p>\n<p>The governor unveiled the new restrictions just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday and amid a surge in cases across the state. The restrictions place a ban on nonessential activity between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. in counties that contain 94 percent of the state&#8217;s population. Some counties, like Los Angeles County, have also imposed limits on gatherings of people celebrating the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>In some parts of the Golden State, county officials have taken issue with Newsom&#8217;s rules about closing restaurants and businesses. San Bernardino County supervisors this week announced their intent to sue Newsom on the grounds that &#8220;one-size-fits-all&#8221; coronavirus rules don&#8217;t suit the conditions in many communities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8 hide-print mobile-250 desktop-90\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several California sheriffs are telling Gov.
