Massive Setback for Rioters, Democrats After DHS Announces Results of Latest LA Immigration Sweep

As I've noted before, implicit in what we're seeing take place in California from the violent woketivists and their Democrat/media accomplices is that if they keep at it long enough, President Trump is going to get ICE to back down from the immigration sweeps that Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed for the start of the riots.

Now, obviously, that's not going to happen, considering the National Guard is already on the ground in Los Angeles at his order, and the Marines are reportedly on their way as well.

Nevertheless, the rioters kept proceeding with the arson, the rock throwing, and the Molotov cocktail hurling, though ultimately it resulted in some of them getting identified and with their images being plastered on "most wanted" posters by the DOJ, while some of the other criminal illegals who allegedly participated in the chaos and violence have been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

But though Newsom and Bass have continued to demand that the immigration sweeps stop, they haven't, with DHS announcing on Wednesday information on some of the illegal immigrants whom they had taken into custody during the sweeps, and as the rioters were trying to hamper them:

Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released more information about some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens arrested during the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Los Angeles (LA), California (CA). These arrests occurred June 9 and 10 despite prolonged violent riots and assaults on ICE and other federal law enforcement officers.

“Murderers, pedophiles, and drug traffickers. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect. How much longer will Governor Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass continue to prioritize these criminal illegal aliens over their own citizens?” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Secretary Noem has a message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE will continue to enforce the law and arrest criminal illegal aliens.”

The names include:

Gerardo Antonio-Palacios, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested by ICE Los Angeles. He has criminal convictions for homicide and burglary. He was previously deported.

Mab Khleb - ICE Los Angeles arrested Mab Khleb, a 53-year-old illegal alien from Cambodia. Khleb’s criminal history includes a conviction for transport of a controlled substance, possession of controlled substance, lewd action with a child, and battery.

Sang Louangprasert - ICE Los Angeles arrested Sang Louangprasert, a 66-year-old illegal alien from Laos. Louangprasert’s criminal history includes a conviction for lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 in Fresno, CA and inflicting corporal injury, spouse or cohabitant in Santa Barbara, CA.

Antonio Benitez-Ugarte, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested by ICE Los Angeles and has been convicted of drug trafficking.

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin shared some of the photos:

NEW: DHS announces that some of the illegal aliens ICE LA arrested in the Los Angeles area yesterday & Monday include a convicted murderer, multiple pedophiles, and a drug trafficker. ICE sources tell me they've made 300+ arrests since their LA operation began on Friday. Some of those arrested on June 9th and June 10th include:

Incredibly, advocates for illegal immigrants were trying to suggest that some of the ones nabbed shouldn't have been arrested... 

ICE's "public safety" narrative often collapses after scrutiny:

The guy on the left was a prison firefighter, a job not available to safety threats. He was granted bond from ICE detention in 2022.

Similarly, the man on the right was paroled by CA in 2022 for good behavior.

...which prompted this response from Melugin:

You can’t be serious? The guy on the right is a convicted murderer & the guy on the left has convictions for shooting into an occupied house, willful child cruelty, DUI, assault with a firearm, & has had a deportation order since 2020.

Youre saying ICE should *NOT* arrest them? https://t.co/P9K4Ma6lZs— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) June 11, 2025

On Monday, Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, confirmed with Fox News that immigration enforcement efforts would not be slowing down and that the riots had, in fact, galvanized federal law enforcement to press on:

He said absolutely not - and that the riots will have the opposite effect, leading to more military and federal resources being sent into LA. Nothing will stop their federal immigration operations, he said.

It's something Essayli reiterated during an interview with "Ingraham Angle" host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday:

If you do the crime, you’ll do the time. Interim U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli isn’t letting the riots deter immigration enforcement and is going after the agitators.

Democrats love violent perverts, killers, rapists and drug pushers...

ICE ICE Baby !

[From The Deer Stand]

Democrats are pro-lawlessness and anti-law. Not a great platform.

[metmom]

Sure. Cause they’re using them to get a permanent lock on positions of power.

When they’re in, the useful idiots who did their dirty work will be history.

[RatRipper]

Reads like a list of criminals signing up to raid Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles!!!

[crusty old prospector]

Kinky.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Commies are straight up stupid..while they riot and protest, ICE is continuing their operations and arresting illegals so they are like “Ok you keep protesting you stay over there while we conduct business over here”

[cpdiii]

Most of the illegals are economic refugees and not true refugees in fear for their lives. Which gives one to pause and think why so many of them are hard core criminals in their homeland and here. The answer is very simple.

1. Crime pays far better in the USA than their home countries.
2. Our justice system is much less likely to catch and convict them and if caught and convicted the punishment will be far less.
3. They fear greatly to the point of horror of going into a jail in their home nations.

Our justice system actually attracts criminals from other nations. Their logic is crime pays much more in the USA and if caught jail is bad but it is not, “Dante’s Nine Circles of Hell.” This was from one of his great writings, “Inferno.”

[Alas Babylon!]

Fine. Glad they got the scum.

But I really don’t care if they’re hardened criminals or not.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.

They need to be arrested and deported, promptly.

Wow! And Qiunipiac is a left leaning polling organization. The numbers are actually probably worse.

Also, prisons in places like Mexico are far more harsh than US prisons. For Mexican criminals US prisons are a vacation. Mexico spends 10 cents per prisoner compared to one dollar US spends per prisoner.

[Salamander]

I just watched some swarthy tw@t telling the Marines they’d be attacking “Americans whether they’re documented or not. They’re still Americans”

Right.
That’s not how it works.

8:00 p.m and curfew time in downtown LA. LEOs have brought in two buses and are loading the ziptied protesters after removing their facemasks.
