Federal officials are sounding the alarm after violent mobs confronted ICE agents in Los Angeles, blaming what they call “reckless and dangerous” rhetoric from Democrat leaders for fueling the chaos. As agents attempted to carry out lawful immigration enforcement, they were met with hostility and aggression from protesters emboldened by the left’s ongoing campaign to demonize border enforcement.
Over 7,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers heading into the weekend. They slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property. Multiple people were detained in LA by immigration agents following the violent protests. Demonstrators also tried to break into the Roybal Federal Building.
It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) two hours to respond.
Attorney General Pam Bondi promised that the Department of Justice would prosecute anyone who obstructs or assaults a law enforcement officer.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a judge, a member of Congress, or a protester in Los Angeles,” she said.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a statement on Saturday criticizing Democratic politicians, particularly Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Boston Mayor Wu, failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, for villainizing and demonizing ICE law enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security reported a 413 percent increase in assaults on officers. I recently noted that ICE agents' family members have been doxxed and targeted, prompting many officers to begin wearing masks during operations for their safety.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem vowed to hold those assaulting ICE agents accountable and said that ICE will continue to enforce the law despite how violent and disorderly protestors become.
“A message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down," Noem wrote on X. "@ICEgov will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Her statement follows an incident near a Home Depot in Paramount, California, where tear gas was deployed as ICE agents were reportedly conducting a raid. Military helicopters were also dispatched to the scene.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the violent attacks on ICE agents in Los Angeles, calling them "despicable" and demanding that Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) speak out against the violence. She blamed Democrat leaders for fueling hostility toward ICE through inflammatory rhetoric and comparisons to the Nazi Gestapo, which she says have contributed to a rise in assaults on federal agents.
RICO would be appropriate.

Treason is more likely.
>> Noem, Bondi Slam Democrats
strongly worded no doubt
Arrest Mayor Bass. She incited these riots.
Then DO something.
“… Over 7,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers heading into the weekend.

Two hours to respond? Not to worry, in the Big Beautiful Bill we gave all these Blue Staters the right to deduct up to $40,000 of their State and Local taxes paid on their inflated California salaries from their federal taxable income.
Starting to look like Musk was right to get pissed off during his recent argument over the BBB bill. Perhaps he did not handle his outrage over it well but he was right that we shouldn't be pushing it in the first place.
It appears that the Senate Republicans are listening to him.
RE: “It doesn’t matter if you’re a judge, a member of Congress, or a protester in Los Angeles,” she said. (Bondi).
Great to gather those birds of a feather together like that.
I think law enforcement shoot use flash bombs and rubber bullets on all three groups. Otherwise it would be discrimination. /S
There’s probably an off color joke in there: the judge, the member of Congress and the protester.
All that procrastination and passivity after she was on the ropes after her malfeasance during the widespread fires in California.
Then she comes back to haunt us and do more harm to people because she was tolerated.
Connecting the riots to the BBB is a stretch, considering it hasn’t even passed yet.
what do you want them to do ummm
Correct. Does the GOP have the stones to do it though? Probably not, sadly.
I don’t know if she violated any Federal laws before, so that would be on L.A. for not kicking her butt to the curb, but inciting riots against Fed. LEOs is definitely covered by Fed law.
Yeah, implying publicly that the President is a pedophile is probably not handling things well.
Especially when the President is Trump.
Malibu Barbie, Veronica Lodge: don’t break a nail, girls.
All I see, are people waving Mexican flags as they attack the United States government.
We should be launching drone attacks into Mexico City
Dog killer is the only one doing anything.
Ain’t mad at her. I have had to put some animals down.
She looks like the one actually doing anything.
