The mayor is an elected official, the governor can’t just fire him. The fact the US DOJ was investigating and probably going to prosecute likely led to any state investigation being ended, due to federal investigations taking precedence.
I’d say just don’t engage with it at all.
If someone talks about it, pretend ignorance. Like total ignorance of any aspect of the stories.
Or, if someone mentions it, just say you don’t give bigots money.
Editing to expand: by pirating you are perpetuating the cultural impact. The majority of people pay for access to this media, and by engaging with it you make it more costly for other people to skip it.
Got kids? Percy Jackson (and the other Rick Riordan written) series are great. Older kids? Get them reading chuck wendig or Margaret Killjoy.
Introduce yourself to Kafka and Marquez and Butler and Morrison and so many other great great writers who make JK Rowling look like the utter hack she is.

Time for Jello Biafra to write a new updated California Uber Alles
This is a child. He attended middle school, so he’s at oldest 14. The article makes it sound like he was severely disturbed, he needs psychological care.
The podcast Weird Little Guys just concluded a long series of episodes about the weird bullshit leading up to this.
If the Vancouver woman you referred to is the same one I read about, she was addressing the paperwork issue and was arrested anyway. She told ICE she would pay for her own ticket to return to Canada and was detained in torture conditions anyway. When legal, press, and Canadian government attention were brought to bear, she was told “if you had just said you would pay for your own ticket you could have avoided all of this.”
Unless you are a white US citizen with significant money, I wouldn’t recommend leaving the country.
