Everyone knew it was coming. You could see it brewing from a mile away. After ICE agents began executing raids across Los Angeles on Friday—nabbing illegal immigrants with outstanding deportation orders, including violent offenders—the radical left did exactly what it does best: ignite chaos. Only this time, the response didn’t take weeks. It took hours.
By nightfall, a Department of Homeland Security facility was stormed, and federal agents were forced to hold the line without local backup. The LAPD arrived two hours late, long after the violence had already erupted. Saturday brought more flames, more assaults, more shattered glass, and Molotov cocktails hurled by black-clad agitators who seem to believe urban warfare is just another political weekend hobby.

But there was one difference this time: Donald Trump is president again—and he didn’t blink.
By executive authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, President Trump federalized the California National Guard and deployed 2,000 troops into the city to secure federal operations and restore order. The mission? Simple: protect ICE, secure federal property, and make sure America’s laws are actually enforced.

California Democrats exploded, denouncing the move as authoritarian, inflammatory, and—of course—their favorite recycled accusation: “eroding public trust.” As if videos of rioters making Molotov cocktails, lighting cars on fire, and physically attacking federal agents weren’t reason enough to send in support.

What, exactly, were they waiting for? A fatality?
Yes, they’re actually doing it again. The same legacy media networks that gave us “fiery but mostly peaceful” are back at it—this time whitewashing an ICE field office under siege, anarchy in the streets, and calls to “kill ICE” spray-painted on federal buildings as just more “peaceful protest.” ABC 7 even described groups of people “having fun watching cars burn.”
It’s 2020 déjà vu—except this time, Trump’s not just tweeting. He’s acting.
Let’s be clear: this unrest didn’t come out of nowhere. It was incited, coordinated, and amplified by activist groups, community organizers, and politicians who refuse to draw any line between peaceful demonstration and organized destruction. These aren’t just frustrated citizens. These are strategists of street violence, and they’ve been emboldened by years of Democrat tolerance for lawlessness—as long as it’s the right kind of lawlessness.

California leaders had a choice: stand with federal law enforcement—or watch their cities burn. And predictably, they chose the latter. Again.
