Trump Orders Natl. Guard To Quell Riots In LA After Attacks On ICE Agents

National Guard troops have arrived in Los Angeles, California to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with doing its job as protests rage in the city.

“We can confirm that California National Guard troops have now arrived in Los Angeles,” The Guardian reported on Sunday.

“The first group got here a few hours ago from San Bernardino county,” the report said.

“They’re currently gathering outside the downtown LA detention (center), where illegal immigrants are taken after being detained,” it said.

President Donald Trump gave the order on Saturday night, before White House border czar Tom Homan appeared on Fox News to strike back at California Democrat politicians who rallied against ICE.

During his appearance he confirmed that National Guard troops would be deployed to stop the riots.

“This is about enforcing the law and, again, we’re not going to apologize for doing it. We’re stepping up,” he said. “We’re already ahead of the game. We’re already mobilizing. We’re going to bring National Guard in tonight. We’re going to continue doing our job. We’re going to push back on these people, and we’re going to enforce the law.”

It came after President Trump posted on Truth Social that he would be sending the troops in if California officials could not stop the riots.

“If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!” he said.

Whit House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X and confirmed that the president had given the order.

“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California,” she said.

“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,” the press secretary said.

“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,” she said.

“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,” she said.
