Lujan Grisham defends rioters attacking federal agents in Los Angeles

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is once again siding with criminality and chaos over law and order—this time, joining a coalition of Democratic governors condemning President Donald Trump’s deployment of California’s National Guard to restore order in Los Angeles. The statement, issued by the Democratic Governors Association (DGA), blasts Trump’s move as an “abuse of power” while ignoring the reality on the ground: federal agents are facing violent uprisings, including attacks from criminal illegal aliens and radical agitators, while attempting to enforce the law and uphold their constitutional duties.

As President Trump acts decisively to quell unrest and secure the streets, Lujan Grisham and her far-left colleagues have responded not with support for law enforcement but with partisan outrage. 

The DGA’s statement claims that deploying National Guard forces without a governor’s approval is “ineffective and dangerous,” and even goes as far as accusing the president of “undermining the mission of our service members.”

But critics say it’s Governor Lujan Grisham who is undermining public safety and the rule of law.

“The Democratic governors are defending the lawless. Every Democrat governor just endorsed lawlessness and chaos on American streets. Putting people’s lives at risk,” wrote the Republican Governors Association in a direct rebuke of the DGA’s statement.

Governor Lujan Grisham’s record speaks for itself. One of her very first acts in office back in 2019 was to remove National Guard troops from the southern border—signaling to both illegal immigrants and criminal cartels that New Mexico would no longer cooperate with federal efforts to secure the border. Her open-borders agenda has continued ever since.

In one of her most infamous political stunts, Lujan Grisham released a campaign ad in which she literally ran through a wall in an attempt to mock President Trump’s border security policies. The bizarre video was widely ridiculed but symbolized her ongoing hostility toward any serious effort to control illegal immigration.

She recently signed legislation to allow non-citizens to become law enforcers in New Mexico, as well as legislation to ban compliance with federal authorities acting to find criminal aliens present in the state.

Now, she’s extending that hostility to President Trump’s efforts to protect American communities from violent unrest.

Far-left Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico’s First Congressional District defended the illegal alien rioters, claiming they were the United States’ “own people,” which is false, and not ackgnowledign that the rioters were attacking federal authorities, requiring a federal response, as Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and other Democrat officials refused to stop the lawlessness.

Antifa, radicalized terrorist sympathizers, George Soros-linked groups, among others, helped organize the Los Angeles protest, according to multiple reports.

While President Trump is working to restore order in Los Angeles, where federal officers are under siege by violent mobs, including illegal aliens, Governor Lujan Grisham is busy penning statements of outrage, defending criminals, and undermining the brave men and women who are risking their lives to defend the public.

Her allegiance lies not with the citizens of New Mexico or the law-abiding residents of America’s cities, but with the radical fringe that seeks to dismantle law enforcement and sabotage efforts to restore peace.

As violent unrest spirals out of control, Americans are watching closely. And they will remember which leaders stood for order—and which ones, like Michelle Lujan Grisham, chose chaos.
