California GOP Congressman Darrell Issa is calling for an investigation into allegations that the Los Angeles Police Department did not promptly respond to protect ICE officers being assaulted as violence broke out in the city on Friday night.
Issa, who represents California’s 48th Congressional District and is a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a press release Tuesday he is calling for a "full and complete Congressional investigation" into the response time of the LAPD assisting the ICE officers who, according to a press release from DHS, waited for two hours for assistance.
"Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer funded property," DHS said in a press release on Saturday, referring to the previous night when violence broke out in Los Angeles in response to the ICE raids.
"It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) 2 hours to respond."
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, who quickly put out a press release Friday reassuring the public that the department does not participate in immigration activities, pushed back against DHS’ claim in a Sunday press conference.
"When we heard that, I think anybody who's a police officer couldn't believe it, and certainly anyone with LAPD couldn't imagine how that could happen," McDonnell said to reporters. "Well, it didn't happen."
McDonnell claimed that the actual response time was 40 minutes due to traffic.

Read report that Mayor Karen Bass issued LAPD orders to not respond to ICE agent assistance calls, and took personal control ….this would be what Issa should track down
This will be that same as in 2020. Few people arrested, most released, the rest slapped on the wrist. Even those prosecuted for federal fines will be exonerated by Democrat juries.
We have two tiers of justice.
I saw Newsom’s “war room” with 2 tv newscasts showing LA on fire as every law enforcement 5 star watched and played along.
Anyone found to be being paid to riot should have their fingers removed
At the shoulders.
Could Trump tell the local cops you’re now working for me?
I'm not qualified to answer that question, ... Anyone?
In America, we have the Very Best Two Tiers Of Justice that Money Can Buy!!

It did not take us 2 hours, it ONLY took us 40 minutes because of traffic. What a freaking joke. There were no officers that could have responded to assist in 40 minutes - 2 hours? When seconds count, LAPD is only a minimum of 40 minutes away.
They musta stopped for every light and all those black-masked pedestrians in the cross walks,
WHEN I WAS A KID RAISED ON THE FARM:
A MANTRA WAS:
IN ANY LEVEL OF EMERGENCY: DO SOMETHING!!!-—IMMEDIATELY!!!!
GATE OPEN & COWS ARE OUT? DO SOMETHING!!!!
PIPE has burst? DO SOMETHING!!!
DAD ALWAYS SAID: IF YOU DO SOMETHING & IT IS WRONG -—I WILL BE FAR MORE ANGRY WITH YOU IF YOU DITHER & DO NOTHING AT ALL.
THAT was over 70+++ Years AGO
CAN STILL HEAR THE WORDS.....
SHERIFF’S OFFICERS HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THIS
“SHERIFF’S OFFICERS HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THIS”

So do most all of the other LA cops on scene. Maybe if ICE had coordinated their raids with the PD and Sheriff BEFORE they began, it would have been easier to stage and move to assist when asked during the emergency.
