🇺🇸 LA RIOTS: NATIONAL GUARD VS. PROTESTERS

L.A. is on edge after ICE arrested 44 people in immigration raids – and now the National Guard is patrolling the streets like it’s a movie set.

A car burned in Compton, protesters clashed with cops in riot gear, and Trump called them “paid troublemakers” from his Truth Social throne.

Meanwhile, Marines at Camp Pendleton are reportedly “on high alert.” Casual.

Trump says it’s about protecting federal buildings. Legal experts say… he might’ve skipped a step. Like asking the governor first. Awkward.

Congress is screaming “unnecessary flex.” Trump’s calling it “zero tolerance.”

Either way, the drama’s only heating up.

🇺🇸SEC NOEM: ICE REMOVING VIOLENT CRIMINALS AS NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYS FOR SECURITY

“That is what ICE is doing every day as they’re out on our streets and working to go after bad criminals and people that have perpetuated violence on these communities.

The gang members we have picked up in LA, because of their hard work, are horrible people: assault, drug trafficking, human trafficking.

They are now off of those streets and they are safer because these ICE operations are ongoing.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen some violent protests happen and that’s why these National Guard soldiers are being utilized to help with some security in some areas.”

🇺🇸DANA BASH: 1992 LA RIOTS WAS A “REAL RIOT,” TODAY IS “SO DIFFERENT”

“I just want to state for the record that what did happen in 1992 was so different from what we’re seeing now.

That was a real riot that went all across the city of Los Angeles after a verdict in the Rodney King case.

This is a situation where the LA County Police, it’s not good, but they’re saying that they have it under control, and the Fed and the president are sending national troops, federal troops, in a way that hasn’t been done in a long time.”

🇺🇸NATIONAL GUARD SWOOPS INTO LA AS ICE PROTESTS ERUPT

The National Guard is now on the ground in Los Angeles.

Trump sent 2,000 troops after protests over ICE raids spiraled into full-blown riots.

It started Friday when ICE agents arrested immigrants across the city.

By nightfall, crowds hit the streets.

By Saturday, storefronts were smashed, fires burned, and parts of LA looked like a scene from a disaster movie.

This morning, military trucks rolled up to the Hall of Justice near City Hall.

Troops were also spotted driving through Paramount, one of the hardest hit areas.

Trump applauded the Guard and slammed LA Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom for losing control.

Def Sec Pete Hegseth said troops were being sent immediately to help federal agents.

The Guard is now camped outside the LA detention center where arrested immigrants are processed.
