ICE Prepares Full Assault on Five Democrat Cities as LA Goes Into Lockdown

Donald Trump is set to deploy ICE tactical units to five Democrat-run cities amid the riots in Los Angeles as Gavin Newsom nearly broke into tears while blaming his administration for inciting the California chaos.

The military-style units are set to storm New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia and northern Virginia, MSNBC reported. Four of those five are heavily blue cities, while northern Virginia contains the Democrat enclave of Alexandria.

The ICE raids have sparked protests that brought Los Angeles to its knees, as the mayor opted to introduce a lockdown from 8pm to 6am.

The reports came as the California governor delivered a harrowing prediction for the rest of the country Tuesday night in a nationally televised address that blasted Trump’s deployment of US troops to Los Angeles.

‘Look, this isn’t just about protests here in Los Angeles, when Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard. He made that order apply to every state in this nation,’ Newsom said, as he teared up.

‘This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes, this moment we have feared has arrived.’

As the governor delivered his teary address, the President was greeting US military personnel at Fort Bragg.

He was in North Carolina to recognise the 250th anniversary of the US Army, but spent much of the speech defending the decision to deploy soldiers against ‘animals’ and ‘foreign enemies’ protesting against ICE arrests in LA.

‘What you’re witnessing in California is a full blown assault on peace, on public order and national sovereignty… with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country. We’re not gonna let that happen,’ he said.

‘We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy. That’s what they are.’

The president went on to call LA ‘a trash heap’ with ‘entire neighborhoods under control’ of criminals, adding the government would ‘use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence and restore law and order.’

‘We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again,’ Trump said.

Some of what has happened in Los Angeles has spread to the rest of the country.

In New York, at least 45 people were arrested Tuesday as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets near Foley Square in Manhattan, The New York Post reported.

The NYPD ordered a level three authorization against the marchers, many of whom also carried Palestinian flags in addition to signs calling for the abolishment of ICE.

Police pepper sprayed some of the demonstrators, while they threw water bottles at officers.

Thousands of protesters also took to the streets of downtown Chicago, vandalizing cars and clashing with police on Tuesday.

A driver plowed into a group of protesters in the Loop, striking at least one pedestrian, as thousands marched through downtown Chicago protesting the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration raids.

In Portland, a small group of protesters set up camp outside an ICE facility and said they weren’t leaving until their claims were addressed, KGW reported.

Tons of marchers were also seen in the liberal city of Austin in deep red Texas.

And in Atlanta, video showed protesters throwing fireworks at police officers as tear gas was seen being deployed.

LAPD squads in riot gear began storming the streets immediately surrounding the Federal Building on Los Angeles St. in downtown Los Angeles shortly after Mayor Karen Bass’s 8pm curfew went into effect.

Police cars blocked off streets and uniformed officers fast marched to the location. Agitators were forced back half a block from the location but still swarmed the area.

The intense tactical operation continued as officers, including mounted police, created so-called skirmish lines to push rioters away from other other federal building on the same block.
