FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is not mincing words after ICE raids across Los Angeles led to violent clashes between protesters and federal agents.

At least one of those confrontations got so out of control that the FBI had to be called in — and Bongino made it clear in a post on X that federal agents aren’t going to back down.

He warned that anyone who tries to interfere with them doing their jobs will face serious consequences.

“The Right to assemble and protest does not include a license to attack law enforcement officers, or to impede and obstruct our lawful immigration operations,” the FBI deputy director said.

“We are thoroughly reviewing the evidence from yesterday’s incident in Los Angeles and we are working with the US Attorney’s Office to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. The days of chaos ruling the streets are over. Either obey the law, or go to jail, there’s no third option,” he said.

And he was not done as he followed that with another post.

“And yes, multiple arrests have already been made for obstructing our operations. More are coming. We are pouring through the videos for more perpetrators,” he said. “You bring chaos, and we’ll bring handcuffs. Law and order will prevail.”

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin set the record straight, pointing out that the ICE raids were focused on illegal aliens who already had active deportation orders or criminal records.

“NEW: 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,” he said.
