(Townhall)—They were AWOL for hours yesterday, but now the Los Angeles Police Department had to be mobilized citywide as anti-ICE clowns ravage the streets. There was mayhem when Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out their lawful orders to find and deport illegal aliens—leftists didn’t like that, leading to another episode of chaos. These people surrounded and stormed a Department of Homeland Security building, which led to vandalism, and the LAPD was nowhere to be found.
Today, people run wild in the streets, chucking rocks at cars. Anti-ICE activists are also being ginned up by fake news; there was no ICE raid. Federal agents are taking people who already have deportation orders, per Bill Melugin:
Per federal sources, despite local claims, there was no ICE “raid” at a Home Depot in LA today. DHS has a nearby office in Paramount that they are using as a staging area. Protesters found it and began gathering. ICE will conduct targeted enforcement around LA today, serving criminal judicial warrants and enforcing final orders of removal/deportation orders.
CBP and Border Patrol have been brought in to provide security and extra bodies, and a handful of agitators have already been arrested today for allegedly interfering with federal agents.
Despite inflammatory statements from local politicians making it sound like ICE is sweeping neighborhoods in SoCal & kicking doors down, they are targeting those who already have a deportation orders or who have criminality that has been signed off on by a federal judge.
If others are found with the targets and they are also illegal aliens, they will be arrested too. This is enforcement of bipartisan immigration laws that have been on the books for decades.
