National Guard troops arrived in L.A. on Sunday morning at the request of the Trump administration after confrontations between protesters and immigration agents carrying out raids of local businesses.

National Guard deployed to Los Angeles at immigration raid protests

The immigration raid protests began this weekend as demonstrators chanted “ICE go home” and “No justice, no peace.” Some protesters yelled at deputies, and a series of flash-bang grenades was deployed. After a time, some protesters responded by throwing rocks and other items at ICE vehicles. The crowds grew and a Border Patrol official said an agent was hurt, a car was set on fire and some were lobbing rocks and bottles at L.A. County sheriff’s deputies. The LASD said that it had arrested two people on suspicion of assaulting an officer on Saturday night. One allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail, and three deputies were struck, causing minor injuries, the department said.

Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s “border czar,” said officials were cracking down hard on the unrest and that the National Guard would be deployed to the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the federal action, saying that local law enforcement was already mobilized and that sending in troops was a move that was “purposefully inflammatory” and would “only escalate tensions.”

National Guard troops arrived in L.A. on Sunday morning and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters defended the protests and called for people to gather.

Send them all over to Mad Max’s palatial estate.

Maxine Waters is a senile jerk. This is going to be a re-run of 2020, with the Democrats being as cynical and stupid as they always are.

[kiryandil]

Sounds like Gramma needs a beatdown.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Surprised that the DNC Gargoyle James Carville hasn’t joined Mad Waters .... two functioning brain cells are better than one?

[donozark]

Lock the old bitch up. But first take away her wig so she can’t conceal contraband.

[piasa]

Anybody who uses a Molotov cocktail should just be shot in the head.

"Anybody who uses a Molotov cocktail should just be shot in the head."

Maybe someone will be good enough to shoot the Molotov cocktail while the dumbass is holding it.

[faithhopecharity]

maybe her riot mobs would like to thank her personally by visiting her at her manse (location is public knowledge, historic Windsor Square district of old LA)....NOT in her congressional district now, either.....

why move into your congressional district when you can live in a much nicer neighborhood?

[Recompennation]

I would love to see a GO FUND ME account for 10 or so LEGAL MAGA Hispanics with a lot of tattoos that will all go and visit the neighborhoods of certain lib politicians. The results would be amazing. -A great investment.

RENEW THE CALL TO REOPEN ALCATRAZ!!

[DarthVader]

This time bitch you get arrested!

[laweeks]

Any good reason why she wasn’t arrested?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I can’t understand why this old idiot isn’t home mashing pancakes. What the heck is wrong with those California voters? Retarded?

[crusty old prospector]

That broad sounds wackier than Xiden. I like how she has to carry a water bottle in case she needed a sippy-po to throw down a pill or such.

[BatGuano]

Shot in the head?
Another, appropriate, way is to shoot them in the back of the neck.
Keeps the Russian theme going!

[rlmorel]

I like that idea! Wouldn’t be a difficult shot depending on the distance. Most of them would be holding the bottle relatively stably until they threw it, and away from their body, too.

[doc maverick]

She’ll fall and break her hip one of these days and will fade into liberal oblivion like Pelousy.
