Top Homeland Security official says 'foreign adversary' possibly behind anti-ICE riots
Just the News ^ | 6/19/25 | Charlotte Hazard

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says it is possible a foreign adversary was behind the anti-ICE riots that spread across Los Angeles last week.

"We are seeing indications that this is likely a foreign adversary, McLaughlin said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show." But I'm not going to get ahead of the FBI."

Protests and riots broke out across Los Angeles in response to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents' arrests of illegal migrants.

In response to the protests, President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 California National Guard members to the city, despite objections from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Trump on Sunday doubled down on his stance and ordered ICE to use all its resources to deliver the "single largest Mass Deportation Program in History."

McLaughlin said the Department of Homeland Security is working with other federal agencies to determine who or what is behind the riots.

"The FBI is leading this investigation," she said. We're also working with the IRS and Homeland Security Investigations. These are looking like incredibly coordinated and highly sophisticated protests, with pallets of bricks being brought into different cities across the country, including Los Angeles and New York, where we've seen violent protests and riots break out."

I'd love to see some arrests of the people funding and organizing the riots.

However, I fear all we will get is an oversight committee hearing at which all the responses from witnesses will be "I don't recall".

The oversight committees are where most corruption goes to be covered up and painted over before all evidence is stored away in the big government warehouse never to be seen again.

Is Soros a foreign adversary? Seems he bribed his way into the US after WWII.

If you watch the You Tube videos of the protests, there are quite a few instances of visible proteste leadership stepping in to control the action.

As an example, I cite the famous video of the black clad masked woman attempting to stop the forward progress of an Ice truck containing arrested protesters. The woman is absolutely berserk and screaming unintelligibly. After a while when it is certain her cause is lost, a middle aged man also masked and also in black dress takes hold of her and forces her to release her grip on the truck.

The man is almost certainly a protest manager.

Please tell me she just woke up from a coma.

How many idiots in government does it take to change a light bulb? None because they can't get their shiat together.

I'm not impressed. Stop using propaganda on me. Others may not see that you've purposefully not looked into it because a lot of citizens know exactly who is funding them, their coordination, and so on.

oversight committee hearing at which all the responses from witnesses will be "I don't recall".

Amen CFW. Along with the usual show boating and we need more money for our committee to go through these things. omg rme

I’ve noticed a few of those instances as well. The “manager” stays in the background and directs others on when to move, chant, escalate, etc. They will also step in if a Youtube interviewer starts asking too many questions.

You get a lot more information by watching the livestreams of independent “on the ground” reporters than you do the alphabet media.

Actually, Tricia said “likely,” which is a greater probability than possible. I’m not holding my breath, but I hope the FBI under Patel is aggressively investigating these dark operations.

I believe the proper term for the FBI is a “domestic” adversary.

Nope. Arrest them, charge them with treason for trying to start a revolution to overthrow the nation and execute them.

If you fellas can spot the protest manager, then that person can be easily taken.
