Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, revealed that the raids that sparked the violent LA riots were not for immigration purposes.
Homan explained that the raids that took place in downtown Los Angeles on Friday were part of a criminal investigation into a money laundering scheme and cartel activity.
'It wasn’t an immigration raid. It was to service of three criminal warrants at locations based on a large criminal conspiracy that ICE is investigating,' Homan on MSNBC.
Chaos erupted after protesters clashed with immigration officials across downtown Los Angeles, leading to three days of violence.
Looters targeted businesses across the city amid the demonstrations, which saw cars torched and security forces firing tear gas at rioters.
California officials have been slammed for their handling of the riots as an understaffed police department struggles to quell the violence.
Donald Trump demanded on Sunday that both Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass apologize for the LA riots, insisting those involved are not 'peaceful protesters' as the duo had claimed, but instead 'troublemakers and insurrectionists.'
Newsom blamed Trump for chaos, insisting his deployment of the National Guard escalated tensions and threatened to sue the administration.
Police ordered the public to disperse from downtown overnight after an intense day of demonstrations in the region. Around 300 National Guard troops were deployed to the area, spurring anger and fear among many residents.

Certain California politicians, like certain Mexican politicians, do not like it when their payola is interrupted, eh?
Was Bass the Ass part of that?

NEWSCUM/BASSACKWARDS ARE BORN LIARS & AGITATORS
The Democrat rioters will be released by their Democrat Soros prosecutors, but couldn’t the feds RICO their carcasses? They appear to be coordinating their crimes.
Time to start tracking cell phones.
The Democratic Party is a criminal conspiracy. Proceed accordingly.
Large mouth Bass.
So the Klantifags simply were emboldened by the politicians and decided to riot.
I really hope that these riots are used as chance to prosecute those who fund them. Just prosecuting the rioters is not going to do much good (although they should be prosecuted too). If its the cartels, send troops into Mexico to wipe them out. If its a liberal NGO, prosecute the funders and executives.
“If its the cartels, send troops into Mexico to wipe them out.”
Use drones, Ukrainian Russian airbase style.
Oh that! It looks to have been made in China!
The democrat encouraged and approved Riots to destroy everything
They just was an excuse to riot and try to embarrass Trump. It’s George Floyd on repeat.
Time to start lowering the police choppers over the crowd.
First time: Create a nasty wind-wake.
That’s the warning.
Second time: Release the OC foggers.
The democrat party is a terrorist organization and needs to be dealt with as such — as in their headquarters raided and every leading democrat hauled before military tribunals.

Who is the founder of Venceremos Los Angeles?
History. The organization was founded in 1966 by Aaron Manganiello (a former Brown Beret) as a largely Latino left-wing group; it evolved to an increasingly Maoist/Communist brigade. Katerina Del Valle was its chairperson.
She makes trips to Cuba about twice a year
Newsom, Bass et al., cannot be unaware that ICE was after specific people for specific crimes. They are deliberately misunderstanding, thereby contributing to more crime and more victims. Contemptible, but they’ll probably face no charges.
