WATCH: Looters Slam L.A. Businesses amid Violent Anti-ICE Protests
Breitbart ^ | June 9, 2025 | Amy Furr

Leftists rioting in protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles apparently turned to looting overnight, with some stealing boxes of shoes.

Video footage from ABC 7 shows several people dressed in dark clothing running out of a store in the city, per the clip shared by the host of the Alec Lace Show.

“They’re stealing sneakers and they’re gonna be selling them. And they’re being caught on video from various locations on both sides of the street, and so there’s a good chance that their faces will be recognized,” a reporter for AIR 7 said:

The news comes after protests and rioting erupted when leftists began trying to thwart ICE agents performing sweeps for illegal immigrants in the city on Friday, Breitbart News reported.

The outlet continued:

Yasmeen Pitts O’Keefe, a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of ICE, said federal agents were executing warrants of people being harbored in the United States illegally. Los Angeles officials, including Mayor Karen Bass (D), denounced the operation.

“These actions are escalating: agents arrive without warning and leave quickly, aware that our communities mobilize fast,” Los Angeles Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez said in a statement. “I urge Angelenos to stay alert.”

I fully expected this. Trump needs to send more troops and they need a curfew.

Lots of factions. Various good guys. Various bad guys. Lots of chaos. I am extremely surprised to no one has started some random gunfire to liven up the festivities. From a rooftop, from an alley, whatever. Seems like a prime environment for “playful” escalation. And how will the line of police react if one or two cops take a bullet while facing a crowd?

Maybe some FReepers might want to express their opinions to Trump re arresting Newsom.

More troops? These feral vermin scatter like cockroaches. They need to be hunted down and out on chain gangs.

In 1962 during the James Meredith disturbances Gov Ross Barnett was warned by Bobby Kennedy that he would be arrested if he continued to defy the Court order to allow Meredith to enroll in UMISS.

But don’t dare suggest that sneakers should have serial numbers etched/molded into the sides of the soles. /s

Old video, not from today.

Today seems to be a different story, with no rioting or looting so far.

Because nothing makes a serious and (mostly) peaceful political statement like a free pair of new Air Jordans.

Those businesses had decades of warnings and time to leave that s-hole. No sympathy.

Eisenhower did the same to Gov. Faubus in Ark. when LR Central wouldn’t admit back students.

Faubus was Bill Clinton’s mentor.

Of course, over time Central High is almost all black.

There will never be news stories about how many lives were upended and businesses wiped out by this.

Nothing demonstrates solidarity for illegal immigrants like looting and firebombing local businesses.
