He must have said that during a Republican administration.

Federal District Court Judge Charles Breyer's order instructing President Trump to turn control over the National Guard troops he assigned to protect federal property and the ICE agents working in Los Angeles to Gov. Newsom was stayed by a three judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Newsom called the stay "a tragic miscarriage of justice. The city was entirely peaceful until ICE started the trouble by trying to arrest folks that I granted sanctuary. If it weren't for this provocation there would've been no need for protesters to start fires, assault police, and loot a shoe store and sushi restaurant in the downtown area. But before I could mobilize the Guard to help protect the people ICE was attempting to victimize Trump commandeered the troops and told them to do the opposite."
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell contradicted Newsom's description of events, saying "the state's sanctuary policy bars us from helping ICE carry out its job, but it does not relieve us of our duty to protect lives and property from criminal acts like the ones being committed by persons against not only ICE, but nearby businesses and individuals. Our attempts to deter these crimes were impeded by disorderly conduct including throwing rocks, bricks, and firebombs. Multiple cars were set on fire. Several businesses were looted. Lives were endangered. We were overwhelmed. The arrival of the National Guard troops helped us."
Mayor Karen Bass complained that "Trump's campaign against immigrants misses the 'big picture.' The labor of these immigrants is essential for our economy. They build our homes, make our beds, mow our lawns, and nanny our children. Who will do these jobs if we deport all of them? People in this city have a rapid response network. If they see ICE, they go out and protest. If we are to have peace ICE must respect our right to give sanctuary to these hard-working immigrants."
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem argued that "President Trump has acknowledged a need to sort out the honest and hard-working immigrants from the dishonest crooks and moochers. His priority is to deport the worst of the hordes of illegal immigrants allowed into America by Democrat policies. Here are a few of the criminals ICE has apprehended: Cuong Chanh Phan, a Vietnamese convicted of murdering two teenagers, Eswin Uriel Castro, a Mexican convicted of child molestation, Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a Filipino convicted of rape, assault, and theft, Cielo Vivar-Ubaldo, a Mexican convicted of sex with a minor and hit-and-run, and Miguel Angel Palafox-Montes, a Mexican convicted of grand theft. There is no good argument for allowing these kind of people to roam free in our country."
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) declared "what's happening in LA is just the beginning of the revolution to take back our country from the usurpers. It's a time where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what's happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what's happening to our democracy. This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and we are going to rise to this moment by being out there on the streets."
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn) said "I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not what's going on in Los Angeles and the other cities where anti-ICE demonstrations have degenerated into anarchy and chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement."
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called the confrontation "a spark that will ignite the reconquista that will reunite the territories stolen from us by the United States with Mexico. The widespread prevalence of our flag among those fighting against ICE in the US gives me hope that our country will be made whole again." President of the Mexican Senate José Gerardo Rodolfo Fernández Noroña enthusiastically shared Sheinbaum's hope and added "we will build a wall along the 1830 boundary to keep the gringos out."
In related news, a raid on a cartel drug smuggler in Arizona was protested by about a dozen individuals holding "abolish ICE" signs. Pinal County Sheriff's officers arrested a suspect and seized millions of fentanyl pills, 32 pounds of cocaine, 22 pounds of meth, and four guns. Even though Sheriff Ross Teeple told the protesters that ICE was not involved, one of them pointed out that "the suspect could be an immigrant. We're against immigrants being hassled by police."

So I'll guess the Semi line is drawn just above the final paragraph. Do I win the Kewpie Doll?
Newsom is a feeble-minded idiot. Enjoy your leadership, Democrats.
Democrats have approved “Sanctioned” riots.
Ice and Rodney King riots are examples.

The Dems Deconstruct Cities. They don’t renew or help them, they are only a source of votes, but the citizens of them are nothing to them; only fodder for the gangs, drug lords, and death.
