For years, the popular “LA Scanner” account on X presented itself as a simple, neutral feed with just scanner updates, crime alerts, and public safety notices. But now, the left-wing mask has finally slipped.
And what do we see underneath? A raging left-wing activist with Stage 5 TDS, an open hatred for law enforcement, and a not-so-subtle agenda to turn his 40K followers into digital foot soldiers for sabotage against ICE.
In a now-viral post, the account openly encouraged people to commit a federal crime – calling in fake reports to ICE in order to tie up their resources and “make them look like fools.” That’s not free speech. That’s incitement. That’s obstruction. And, as we mentioned, that’s a felony.

And here’s the kicker: the guy knew exactly what he was doing. His snarky “definitely don’t call in fake reports” phrasing was a wink-and-nod to his activist base. The intent was clear—and now that it’s blowing up in his face, he’s panicking.
For those that don’t know, filing false reports to a federal law enforcement agency is illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. It carries up to 5 years in prison or 8 years if it involves terrorism-related targets. And according to Grok and legal analysts, it’s easily traceable thanks to SS7 signaling, ANI data, and VoIP tracing. Translation: You will get caught.
One X user put it bluntly:
“Food for thought in case anyone wants to try and commit a felony by filing false reports… ANI makes it easy to trace your line, even if you spoof your Caller ID.”
However, things took a turn for Mr. LA Scanner once the violence escalated in LA and once MAGA accounts started calling for his arrest and removal from X. LA Scanner panicked. He posted a desperate backpedal:
“I want to be absolutely clear: I do not support the violence currently happening… If you are rioting, you need to stop… But if you’re peacefully protesting the removal of immigrants… I support your right to do so.”
Look:
The sudden backtrack from felonious wink-winks to “safety is the top priority” wasn’t just weak; it was transparent. He knew what he did. He just didn’t think it would come back on him. But it did. Because this is what happens when the left’s emotion-driven activism crosses the line into actual crime. Their fake moral high ground crumbles the second the consequences hit.
Here’s where this all started – because this isn’t just about ICE. It’s about Trump Derangement Syndrome taking over another American who let his rage cloud his judgment. Take a look at this unhinged statement he posted in the wee hours of June 9th.
LA Scanner:
I am absolutely sickened by the actions of this administration. I cannot — and will not — stand by while Donald Trump tears apart families, lives, and entire communities. What he says and what he does are not the same. While claiming to target criminals, he is deploying militarized agents to job sites and detaining entire construction crews. An 18-year-old was reportedly forced to relieve himself in front of adult men—some potentially dangerous—while in custody. Others are being held in conditions that can only be described as inhumane: sleeping on concrete floors with nothing but Mylar blankets, crowded into facilities that resemble modern-day concentration camps. This is not justice. This is cruelty. Trump is dismantling a nation built by immigrants, for immigrants. Mr. Trump: Stop. End these actions now. History is watching.

Clearly, the person running this account has more than scanners on his or her mind.
But it gets worse.
While those violent far-left mobs and Mexican nationalist rioters were wreaking havoc in L.A., Mr. LA Scanner decided to up the ante by posting what amounted to a hit list. A list of ICE locations, published in the middle of a live riot. This wasn’t public info sharing. It was tactical incitement.
Peter St. Onge:
Over 1,000 rioters are attacking federal agents and Governor Newsom does nothing.
LA’s Mayor is actually attacking ICE.
The left desperately wants to pin “chaos” on Trump. But it’s their money — much of it stolen from taxpayers — that’s literally buying the riots.

And it’s not the first time this kind of thing has happened from LA Scanner.
We saw it in 2020, when leftist agitators doxxed and targeted police officers’ homes. In 2022, when pro-abortion extremists firebombed pregnancy resource centers. And again in 2023, when Jewish institutions were attacked after similar “lists” were circulated online.
Now here we are in 2025, and the same playbook is being run, right out in the open.
Andy Ngo:
.@LAScanner appears to suggest violence by publishing a list of targets while far-left and Mexican nationalist rioters are engaging in a violent insurrection. Similar tactics were used by other leftists to target the homes of individual police officers in 2020, pregnancy resource centers in 2022 and Jewish institutions in 2023.

But why wouldn’t LA Scanner go after ICE? His own governor does it on a regular basis.
Look at this X post from Gavin:
What started as a “scanner” account has now morphed into a full-blown activist operation, one that’s crossed the line from reporting to incitement. From posting target lists during riots to encouraging followers to commit felonies, @LAScanner isn’t just irresponsible; it’s dangerous.
A few 10 year time outs in a Federal penitentiary will put a stop to this crap.

Now that he has been doxxed, get ready for the account to suddenly go bye bye.
You know, you got to hand it to the Bolsheviks.
When they riot, they turn out in such numbers across so many cities and states, that arrests and trials become impractical, and the best you can hope for is to convince them to go home.
But that doesn’t happen, because their leadership keeps egging them on, and they do so with utter impunity for the damage to life, liberty, and property they foment.
Rather than arresting the rioters, better to arrest their leadership, track their funding, and arrest their funders as well.
That is the ONLY thing that will curtail and even stop the bolsheviks.
Troops on the ground are bad optics, and the bolshies know it. They will use it to their advantage.
Better to arrest the SOURCES for inciting riot, insurrection, sedition, and violence.
The HOT CIVIL WAR long fomented by the MARXIST DEMOCRATS & RINOS, is now under way in CACAFORNIA. It will soon spread to YOUR neighborhood if the decreasing cohort of SANE AMERICANS fail to halt it.
PRAISE THE LORD BEFORE WE HAVE TO PASS THE AMMUNITION!!

Verified accounts on X don’t have the same meaning as they once did. Now anybody can pay monthly for the free app, and get “verified”
Remember the guy who went to prison for a comical election day meme telling Democrats to vote by texting to some number?
Civilized countries don’t allow their borders to be overrun by hordes of criminals, and doesn’t give them all sorts of benefits for doing so, including voting rights, cash, housing, medical care, and immunity from prosecution for all varieties of crimes.
Troops on the ground are bad optics for a minority, fantastic optics for most. A lot of people are sick of this leftist crap. The silent majority is wanting to see some heads cracked and punishment meted out real time.
Bolsheviks, being typical socialists, are crybullies.
Also, the main thing missing is the will to stop this. It could be stopped in about 15 minutes with about 5 - 10 rioters/looters gunned down in the street. We are weak.
YES
“And according to Grok and legal analysts, it’s easily traceable thanks to SS7 signaling, ANI data, and VoIP tracing. Translation: You will get caught.”
Does this mean Swatters, Scammers, Doxxers, etc are “easily traceable”?
Yes....................
That name needs to be changed from TDS- Trump Derangement Syndrome to:
STD- the Syndrome of Trump Derangement.
They all behave as if they have syphilis of the brain.
He deserves his day in federal court to defend his actions.
ICE is not "sowing chaos so they have an excuse to escalate." I'm sure ICE would love nothing more than to just remove the people they are trying to remove without the chaos. It is Newsome that actually wants the chaos because he wants to prevent ICE from doing its job. He figures if there is enough chaos, the feds will be forced to retreat.
Everything you said was true but what concerns me is that there ARE so many willing to riot. What causes so many to be so swayed by lies? Someone says Trump is killing children and the dems believe it and go riot
It is scary

I recently discovered several posts containing my family’s name and home addresses. This is unacceptable and violates our privacy. Be warned: if anyone appears at my residence with harmful intentions, I am legally entitled to use deadly force in accordance with my state’s laws.
I honestly think that the people fomenting these riots want dead bodies. Then they, and their fellow travelers in the press, will try to pin them on the President.
