White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shredded Democrats and accused them of using rioters to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from doing their job.

“The mob violence is being stomped out, the criminals responsible will be swiftly brought to justice, and the Trump administration’s operations to arrest illegal aliens are continuing unabated. When the initial immigration enforcement actions took place on June 6th, Mayor Bass took to social media to say she was deeply angered by what has taken place. Mayor Bass then embarked on one of the most outrageous campaign of lies this country has ever seen from an elected official, blaming President Trump and brave law enforcement officers for the violence,” the press secretary said.

“She accused heroic American Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers targeting illegal alien murderers, rapists, and pedophiles of, quote, ‘sowing terror in communities and disrupting basic principles of safety in our city.’ Around the same time, Governor Newsom claimed that immigration enforcement actions were causing chaos. That’s how radical Democrats have become,” she said.

“Their opposition to President Trump has forced them to side with illegal alien criminals in their communities, and violent rioters, and looters, over law enforcement officers who are just doing their jobs. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom fanned the flames and demonized our brave ICE officers. Instead of defending their city and their state, Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom claimed that in order for the riots and the violence to stop, ICE needed to leave, and immigration raids must end,” Leavitt said.

“In other words, the position of the Democrat Party is that the federal government is not allowed to enforce our laws and to arrest and deport illegal alien criminals. They’re attempting to use a violent mob as a weapon against their own constituents to prevent the enforcement of immigration law. This is deeply un-American and morally reprehensible,” she said.

“President Trump received a clear mandate from voters to reverse the illegal invasion ushered in by Joe Biden’s open border, and to end the lawlessness represented by Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom’s California. President Trump promised to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in American history, and left-wing riots will not deter him in that effort. Sanctuary cities and states will no longer be allowed to shield illegal criminals from deportation,” the press secretary said.

“Just take a look at some of the illegal monsters who were taken off the streets in Los Angeles in recent days. A Vietnamese national, a known gang member with a conviction for second-degree murder. A Mexican national with convictions for child molestation who was armed with a dangerous weapon and had previous arrests for robbery and domestic violence,” she said to the press.

“A Filipino national with convictions of rape, assault, burglary, and theft. A Mexican national convicted of statutory rape, narcotics violations, and hit-and-run. A Nicaraguan national with convictions for domestic violence and hit-and-run and a previous arrest for willful cruelty to a child,” Leavitt said.

“And an illegal alien from Mexico who was arrested after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers during the Paramount riots on Saturday. He is now being charged with attempted murder. Law-abiding American citizens do not want these public safety threats living in their communities no matter what Democrats like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom may claim,” the press secretary said.

“And let this be an unequivocal message to left-wing radicals in other parts of the country who are thinking about copycatting the violence in an effort to stop this administration’s mass deportation efforts. You will not succeed. Any lawlessness will only strengthen this president’s resolve to defend the majority of Americans who want to live their lives peacefully, free from the fear of violent, criminal, illegal aliens. As President Trump said, order will be maintained and illegal aliens will be expelled from our country,” she said.
