Trump To Deploy National defender In Los Angeles As Anti-ICE Demonstrations Turn Violent

The Trump administration will deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles following several violent confrontations between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and protesters, after ICE agents carried out multiple immigration sweeps throughout the county.

Border czar Tom Homan revealed the plans Saturday night in an interview on Fox News.

Earlier, the Deartment of Homeland Security accused Democratic leaders in California – including Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and Mayor Karen Bass (D) of contributing to the violence.

„The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it to end,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also chimed in, posting on X that protesters who use violence against officers will be prosecuted.

„You will not stop us or slow us down,” she posted on X.

President Trump also blamed 'Newscum’ and Bass – saying in a Saturday night 'Truth’ that if they can’t do their jobs, „then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem.”

White House spox Karoline Leavitt echoed Trump’s comments, saying in a post on X: „President Trump will uphold law and order and continue to remove all dangerous illegal alien invaders from our country,” adding „The mob violence will be quelled, the criminals responsible will be brought to justice, and operations to arrest illegal aliens will continue unabated.„

The White House issued the following statement:

In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is ready to send in the Marines…

The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.

Under President…

Newsom responded – saying in a post on X: „The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,” adding „This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”
