LA fights back with immigration protesters zip-tied and loaded onto buses en masse as Marines head in
Daily Mail UK ^ | June 10, 2025 | Brittany Chain

Los Angeles appeared to wrestle back control of the city last night with hordes of protesters detained and forced into police buses as hundreds of Marines and thousands more National Guard reinforcements were due to touch down.

Extraordinary footage showed rioters - who had driven Downtown LA to a standstill for four days - zip-tied and forced onto LAPD buses en masse as authorities sought to bring an end to days of chaos and destruction.

A convoy of armed Marines was simultaneously making its way toward Los Angeles under orders from President Donald Trump to regain control of the city.

Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had ordered the deployment of 700 active Marines into the riot-torn neighborhoods, as well as an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to support the 2,000 boots already on the ground.

California Governor Gavin Newsom insisted the troops would escalate the violence and branded the move a 'blatant abuse of power' - vowing to sue the administration to top the Marines in their tracks.

Trump warned LA would be 'obliterated' without him after rioters opposing the president's immigration crackdown set cars alight, looted businesses and brought major highways to a standstill.

The fightback began in Little Tokyo on Monday night when protesters were finally arrested after officers had told demonstrators that the area was under an unlawful assembly order and urged them to disperse and head home.

Authorities kettled those who didn't comply with the order into a confined area, encircling them as the buses pulled up before declaring they were all under arrest.

Frankly, would it be better to send such protestors to a country of their choice and have immigrants who actually just want to work take their place?

The media wants people to believe the riots are about what the third world rioters want it’s false it’s all about what they don’t want like civility law and order.

They brake things throw rocks and fire works at people torch cars destroy things loot stores they are no better then chimps in the jungle the democrats keep them trained so America will be destroyed so they can remold it into a communist nation.

Suuuure - if they can “wrestle back” the city now, they could have kept it safe from the get-go...more propaganda to keep out the Guard and Marines...the rioters and looters are organized and working overtime...

The arrested will be released shortly after reaching police station in accordance with long standing CA law. They will be back on the streets to confront the Marines, if for now other reason than to generate a headline.

If theyโ€™re here legally, they get 20 years for insurrection, illegally, 20 years then deported.

The illegal rioters could be immediately deported via Pinochet Airways. One way trip and the Pacific is really deep a few miles away from the coast, average depth 13,000 feet.

I watched this last night on an internet streaming.

The officers were very professional.

There were no confrontations I observed.

DISBURSE OR YOU WILL BE ARRESTED-—
THOSE THAT DID NOT DISBURSE GOT ARRESTED.

ZIP TIE handcuffs. Body pat down. All items on person were put into individual clear plastic bags-—and stayed with each prisoner.

2 busses used. Very matter-of-fact & VERY PROFESSIONAL.

NEVER SAY ANY SCUFFLES OF ANY KIND.

Watched for over 90 minutes. WAY past my bedtime :)
