Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom visited the Union Pacific railroad in Los Angeles on Thursday to help clean up the site following a spate of railcar thefts, bemoaning the state of the area.

“I’m asking myself, what the hell is going on? We look like a third-world country,” Newsom said to reporters, according to Politico.

Newsom was visiting the site after a string of organized train robberies, an increase in railroad crime that prompted Union Pacific to write an urgent letter to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon excoriating the prosecutor for his no-cash bail policy that the company argued contributed to the rise in crime.
