Overview

• Sheriff Christina Corpus reassigned Victor Aenlle, her former chief of staff and alleged romantic partner, to a volunteer reserve deputy role to address a concealed-carry permit backlog.
• The reassignment comes after Aenlle was previously removed from his position following an audit that substantiated allegations of nepotism and abuse of power.
• San Mateo County voters recently passed Measure A, granting the Board of Supervisors the authority to remove the sheriff with a four-fifths vote, with proceedings expected to begin soon.
• The San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff's Association criticized the rehiring, calling it an example of ongoing corruption and mismanagement under Corpus's leadership.
• Corpus continues to deny allegations of misconduct, refuses to resign, and has filed a $10 million lawsuit claiming discrimination as a Latina woman in power.
