    Justice Department charges Alejandro Orellana with conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorders after delivering face shields A man who went viral after he was captured on live TV allegedly dropping off a pickup truck full of face shields for protesters to use amid demonstrations and riots in Los Angeles last month was indicted Wednesday. Federal prosecutors said Orellana met up with other people on June 9 to load up his Ford F-150 pickup truck with Uvex brand Bionic Face Shields, masks, water bottles and other items as anti-ICE protests raged in Los Angeles.

    This week, a statement announcing former Vice-President Kamala Harris' decision not to run for California governor turned out to be fake. The initial posting of the announcement created quite a stir, but Harris' spokesperson Kristen Allen moved quickly to intervene before it could gain much traction. Allen expressed surprise that "the formerly reliable AI that we have been using to generate content for Kamala to help keep her in the news apparently went rogue with a post we had not previously seen or approved. The triggering event appears to have been Kamala's recent characterization of the recent riots in Los...

    Hours after thousands of people flocked to downtown Los Angeles for a day of demonstrations, the scene took a turn from peaceful to violent as rising unrest spurred police to deploy tear gas. "The demonstration has taken the street. A DISPERSAL ORDER has been issued for all persons located on Alameda south of Aliso and North of Temple to immediately leave the area," LAPD wrote in a warning on X. "People in the crowd are throwing rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects. Less lethal has been approved. Less lethal may cause discomfort and pain. It is advised that all persons...

    Multiple police officers were injured in Portland, Oregon Saturday night during a violent riot at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. A mob launched fireworks, smoke grenades and threw rocks at federal law enforcement, as they broke glass and forcibly entered the ICE facility, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. Four officers were injured during the attack, though federal law enforcement was able to secure the facility. The riot came after the city hosted a "No Kings" protest at 1 p.m., which officials labeled a "large-scale free speech gathering." Tens of thousands of people marched...

    A federal judge late Thursday ruled that the federalization of parts of California’s National Guard by President Donald Trump was “illegal,” and ordered Trump to return control of the Guard to state Gov. Gavin Newsom “forthwith.” But Judge Charles Breyer stayed his temporary restraining order from taking effect until 3 p.m. ET on Friday to allow the Trump administration to appeal his decision. The administration promptly did just that, asking the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to block Breyer’s ruling from taking effect. Trump, over the past week, had federalized 4,000 members of the California National Guard, and mobilized...

    The dad of a young union worker and socialist activist arrested by the FBI for handing out face shields to dozens of LA rioters said his son isn’t a criminal — but slammed him for supplying the anti-ICE riots, and leading the feds to bust down the door of their family home. Francisco Orellana’s reaction to seeing his son Alejandro “Alex” Orellana driving a truck loaded with supplies for protesters was: “What the f--- are you doing?” The elder Orellana, a US citizen who moved to the US in the 1970s, told The Post the feds handcuffed the whole family...

    A no-nonsense Florida sheriff has issued an extraordinary warning by telling protesters that authorities will shoot them dead without hesitation if they commit violence. Violent protests have erupted around the nation inspired by rioters in Los Angeles taking a stand against President Donald Trump and his Immigration Enforcement agents. But in Florida, Sheriff Wayne Ivey laid down the law with a chilling warning that his officers 'are not gonna play' ahead of a scheduled demonstration this weekend. 'If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where...

    Who funds the L.A. riots? We do.Sending in the National Guard, the Marines or for that matter, the Rangers, won’t stop the riots. Much like bombing Afghanistan didn’t stop Islamic terrorism, arresting street level activists isn’t going to deal with the root cause which operates at a level far above the Molotov hurlers. And that’s not just George Soros or the Ford Foundation (which got into funding the radicalization of Latinos back when George was still grifting his way across Manhattan) or a handful of groups here and there… it’s California’s entire Democratic political leadership. California’s permanent Democrat majority has...

    The mystery donor who distributed war time masks to protesters during the Los Angeles riots has been arrested. Alejandro Theodoro Orellana faces a charge of conspiracy to commit civil disorders after he allegedly distributed tactical gear to suspected rioters on Tuesday. He was taken into custody by FBI agents Thursday morning, US Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed.

    Democrats have a long history of inciting violence. Examples abound, from starting the Civil War, to forming the KKK, to violently resisting school integration, to the Michael Brown and George Floyd riots, to the current anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Democrat-run cities are typically the most dangerous, poorly run environs in the U.S., and when you push the oppressor/victim narrative across the media landscape, violence gets put on the menu. Their rhetoric ramped up during Trump 45's administration when Democrat politicians and celebrities openly called for violence against President Trump and Republicans, even while accusing Republicans of being aggressors. And...

    Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing mounting backlash after a leaked report revealed she had ordered the LAPD to stand down during violent riots, leaving federal officers without critical backup as the situation spiraled out of control.. when DHS and FBI requested assistance because they were overwhelmed by rioters, LAPD sat idle waiting for direction. Instead of allowing the Incident Commander to act, Mayor Karen Bass bypassed established protocol ... By personally directing operations, Bass functioned as a de facto Incident Commander, in direct conflict with the City’s Emergency Operations Plan and National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocols.

    Someone tell Gavin Newsom he’s not the president of the United States. No one was obligated to carry his little address, but he’s a Democrat, anti-Trump, and pro-illegal alien, so some outlets did. Supposedly, he texted Fox News’ Sean Hannity to carry his broadcast, but there was no audio. It was a disaster. It was almost as if the political gods were screaming, ‘not ready for primetime’ concerning Newsom, who got slapped down by a judge regarding his emergency motion to block federal troops from being deployed in Los Angeles. The city is again on fire, with Newsom among those...

    Los Angeles was put on lockdown after mayor Karen Bass finally caved and declared a local emergency while Governor Gavin Newsom tore into President Trump for exacerbating the immigration chaos. The riot-ravaged Downtown area will be a no-go zone from 8pm to 6am on Tuesday through Wednesday after violent demonstrators set fire to cars, looted buildings and attacked officers with rocks, fireworks and cement bricks in harrowing scenes of destruction. Bass said the curfew is expected to last several days and will encompass a square mile radius around the epicenter of the violence in Downtown LA. 'If you do not...

    One of the 'rooftop Koreans' who took to LA's rooftops in 1992 during the Rodney King riots to defend their businesses is furious that history is repeating itself in modern day California. Tony Moon, one of the so-called 'Rooftop Koreans' who armed themselves in the race riots over three decades ago, has been sounding off on social media, lambasting Governor Gavin Newsom and the Democrats for their response. In one response to Newsom, he fumed: 'Shut up and sit down. This is the last f*** up that'll seal you (sic) political career as a "has been"'. Moon is a vocal...
