National Guard Arrives as LA Burns

While Democratic leaders in California continue to pretend violent anti-ICE riots are merely “peaceful protests,” President Trump has finally stepped in to restore order. The U.S. Northern Command confirmed that elements of the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the California National Guard are already on the ground in Los Angeles County, with more troops deploying imminently. These forces are tasked with protecting federal assets throughout the county, though specific locations remain undisclosed for security reasons. The deployment comes after days of escalating violence that local authorities either couldn’t or wouldn’t control.

The contrast between reality and the official LAPD statements could not be more stark. While police claimed protesters were “exercising their First Amendment rights responsibly,” video evidence tells a completely different story – masked agitators hurling rocks at officers, lighting vehicles on fire, and causing widespread destruction throughout the city. This isn’t peaceful protest; it’s anarchy disguised as activism. And it took federal intervention to finally address what local Democratic officials refused to acknowledge was happening right in front of them.

Democratic Leaders Enable Violence While Blaming Trump

In a display of political cowardice that’s become all too familiar, LA Mayor Karen Bass had the audacity to criticize federal agents for attempting to restore order, claiming they “sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city.” This twisted logic attempts to paint the people stopping violence as the real villains – not the masked rioters throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers. It’s the same tired playbook we’ve seen for years: enable lawlessness, then blame those who step in to clean up the mess.

“President Trump is putting the safety of the communities being impacted by these riots and by these protests that have turned violent, and he’s putting the safety of our law enforcement officers first” – Kristi Noem.

Governor Gavin Newsom, never one to miss an opportunity for political grandstanding, called Trump’s deployment of the National Guard “purposefully inflammatory” and claimed it would “only escalate tensions.” This from the man who has presided over California’s transformation into a sanctuary state where illegal immigration is practically celebrated while law enforcement is handcuffed by absurd restrictions. Sanctuary laws in Los Angeles explicitly prevent local police from assisting federal immigration enforcement – a recipe for the exact chaos we’re now witnessing.

Law Enforcement Finally Taking Action

After initially being ordered to stand down – because heaven forbid we enforce immigration laws in a sanctuary city – LAPD and sheriff’s deputies finally clashed with protesters in downtown LA and Paramount. The department was eventually forced to declare the downtown protest illegal and disperse the crowd after the situation became untenable. Two individuals were arrested for assaulting peace officers, including one who threw a Molotov cocktail. Yet somehow, in the twisted reality of LA’s leadership, this constitutes “peaceful protest.”

“I want to make it clear: the LAPD is not involved in civil immigration enforcement.” – Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth took a more realistic approach, suggesting the use of Marines and correctly identifying the situation as a national security risk due to criminal cartel involvement. Meanwhile, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem emphasized the need to “keep the peace” and prevent a repeat of the 2020 riots that devastated cities across America. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: one administration enabling chaos in the name of “sanctuary” policies, another taking decisive action to protect American citizens and restore order.

A Nation of Laws, Not Riots

As over 100 illegal migrants have been arrested by ICE since the raids began, the fundamental question becomes: When did enforcing our nation’s immigration laws become controversial? The United States is a sovereign nation with borders and laws that deserve to be respected. Yet Democratic leaders in Los Angeles would rather see their city burn than acknowledge this basic truth. President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard isn’t an act of aggression – it’s what happens when local authorities abdicate their responsibility to maintain public safety in favor of progressive political posturing.

The scenes from Los Angeles should serve as a wake-up call to Americans everywhere. This is the inevitable result of sanctuary policies that prioritize illegal immigration over public safety. When you tell law enforcement to stand down, when you refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, and when you signal to the world that your city won’t enforce immigration laws – don’t act surprised when chaos ensues. Thank goodness we finally have a president willing to do what Democratic leaders won’t: restore order and enforce the law.
