Dozens of protesters swarmed a California restaurant on Wednesday evening after mistaking TSA workers for ICE agents.
The TSA agents, who were off duty and simply trying to have dinner, had to call for help because the situation escalated so rapidly.
According to a report from FOX 11 Los Angeles reporter Matthew Seedorff, the incident took place at the Ten-Raku restaurant in Lynwood, where the federal employees were dining.
The protesters chanted and surrounded the restaurant, with some waving Mexican flags.
Seedorff, who was on the scene, attempted to speak with an apparent organizer of the protest, but they said they “don’t trust Fox.”
“No comment, I just don’t trust Fox,” the anti-ICE activist declared.
When Seedorff went inside to speak to the restaurant employees, the organizer followed him in and told them, in Spanish, not to speak to him.
WATCH:
LA County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene and managed to disperse the crowd.
The TSA agents were safely escorted out without injuries.
No arrests were made, despite the clear harassment and intimidation.
The Department of Homeland Security has reported an unprecedented 1,300% increase in assaults against ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks, thanks, at least in part, to the radical rhetoric being spewed by Democrat politicians.

I mean you just chilling and dining out at your fav restaurant then these retards come and start spazzing out. How do you deal with them?
We need a split screen meme, showing what we, as people who want to stay out of jail would actually do, vs exactly
what we WOULD LIKE TO DO.
Man, if I could hack their communications, I would have great fun sending them all over Los Angeles - and then be there to film when they arrive.
And then overlay the sound-track “yackety sax” on it.
Well, depending on how obnoxious they were, I’d finish my meal then leave. If they got pushy shove, I’m not sure. The correct thing to do would be just keep walking to my vehicle. If they kept it up, well, I don’t know, but they may get inadvertently run over. I would be filming them the entire time with my phone.

Hopefully none of them are Pretti Smart 🤓😉😉😉
“Man, if I could hack their communications, I would have great fun sending them all over Los Angeles - and then be there to film when they arrive.”
I wish you would.
They are mercenaries.
They are mercenaries.
If one looks at all their tactics including crap like this, the anti-American, anti-ICE insurgency certainly uses tactics that are reminiscent of the actual, historical tactics of the Brownshirts, especially in their early years.
On so many different levels, the left is literally everything they claim they fight against.
And that's why the loonies keep doing this stuff.
I seem to recall BLM doing something similar around restaurants in DC some time back.
Trump is good, but we need Pinochet.
Hired by the Nazi collaborator George Soros.
‘we need Pinochet’
Right now more than ever before.
