Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) sparked fierce backlash from conservatives across social media after posting an explosive message directing federal immigration agents to leave Los Angeles during violent protests.
The California Democratic lawmaker posted a TikTok video Friday declaring “ICE get the f— out of LA so that order can be restored” as riots erupted over federal immigration enforcement operations in the city.
Torres, who was born in Guatemala and became a U.S. citizen in the 1990s, faced immediate criticism from conservative voices who accused her of encouraging violence against federal officers.
The congresswoman’s inflammatory statement came as protests against immigration raids transformed into violent confrontations with federal agents throughout Los Angeles.
Conservative reaction to Torres’ social media post spread rapidly across multiple platforms, with numerous influential voices condemning her language and position.
The conservative influencer account Libs of TikTok responded by highlighting Torres’ position, posting “This is a sitting member of Congress” on X.
Conservative influencer Paul Szypula escalated the criticism, writing “Torres is a sitting member of Congress and a complete lunatic” on the social media platform.
White House director of communications Steven Cheung characterized the congresswoman’s statement as “demonic possession” in his X post.
Conservative influencer Benny Johnson labeled Torres “deranged” while several users, including Sen. Wendy Rogers (R-AZ), demanded her expulsion from Congress.
The conservative influencer account Catturd posted “Arrest her now” in response to Torres’ video message.
Author James Lindsay accused Torres of communist sympathies, posting “Found a Communist in Congress” on X.
Conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller suggested using Torres’ statement for political advertising, posting “Make it an ad” on the platform.
Fox News Digital contacted Torres’ office requesting comment on the controversy surrounding her social media post.
The timing of Torres’ statement coincided with escalating violence against federal immigration enforcement officers conducting operations in Los Angeles.
President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles to maintain order as immigration protests transformed into violent riots throughout the city.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem explained Sunday that the National Guard deployment aimed to “keep peace” and prevent a repeat of 2020 unrest when Minnesota’s Democratic governor “let his city burn.”
ICE officers became targets of violence during the riots including rock throwing and other projectile attacks along with vandalism featuring graffiti calling for violence against federal agents.
Fox reported that U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks shared photographic evidence of the violence, posting an image of a Border Patrol agent’s bloody hand injured by a rock that flew through a vehicle windshield.
Federal sources indicated that agents could have been killed by the flying debris during the violent confrontations with protesters.
Border Patrol Chief Banks confirmed that several arrests have already been made for assault on federal agents during the riots.
The arrests demonstrate federal authorities’ commitment to prosecuting those who attack immigration enforcement officers during operations.
The violence against federal officers occurred as immigration enforcement operations continued throughout Los Angeles despite the growing unrest.
