A California sheriff is calling out Kamala Harris for using his image in a new political ad without permission, accusing her of distorting the facts to promote her supposed record on border security, as reported by Fox News.

Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, who has served in the sheriff’s office for 37 years and currently leads the California State Sheriffs’ Association, was shocked to see his image featured in Harris’ latest ad. The ad portrays Harris as a strong enforcer of border security, a claim Boudreaux says couldn’t be further from the truth.

In a statement released to Fox News Digital, Boudreaux made it clear: “In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office.” Boudreaux also recalled a visit Harris made to California’s Central Valley in 2013 when she was the state’s attorney general. He noted her dismissive attitude during the visit and criticized the ad for presenting misleading information about her record.

The ad suggests Harris spent decades fighting violent crime as a “border state prosecutor,” but Boudreaux sets the record straight. He remembers Harris visiting the Central Valley in 2014 to tout a lengthy investigation into a multi-national drug operation linked to Mexican cartels and prison gangs. Despite the operation leading to 11 arrests, including that of the so-called kingpin Jose Magana, Boudreaux argues that Harris did little to address the real issues at the border.

“The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border,” Boudreaux stated. “That ad is all smoke and mirrors.”

Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward, also featured in the ad, echoed Boudreaux’s sentiment. “The hypocrisy knows no bounds. It’s disingenuous and her campaign ad, somehow now, touting her reputation as a prosecutor as a positive thing, she was attorney general under three of the worst tragedies that had befallen the citizens of the state of California.”

Boudreaux’s political action committee, Golden State Justice, also condemned the ad, accusing Harris of undermining California law enforcement’s efforts to combat the influx of guns and drugs across the border. “Kamala’s sad attempt to paint herself as tough on the border by implying my support – and the support of neighboring law enforcement leaders – is pathetic,” the PAC’s statement read.

The ad claims Harris will “hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.” But Boudreaux and Ward aren’t buying it. “How can you go in and promote that you were this tight border person when all the troops are coming across the border, and you literally are eliminating all these task forces? I mean, that completely made us mad,” Boudreaux said.

Boudreaux concluded by making it clear: “I do not support Kamala Harris.” Ward agreed, adding that a simple heads-up about their inclusion in the ad would have been the least Harris could do. “I do not in any way want the use of that photo to be construed as support of her (Harris) either in her candidacy, current candidacy, or even in her tenure as attorney general of the State of California.”
