Surge in Violence Against ICE Officers in LA: 413% Increase in Assaults

TL/DR –

Over 1,000 rioters assaulted ICE officers, vandalized federal property, and slashed tires in Los Angeles, resulting in a reported 413% increase in attacks on ICE officers. The article suggests that these actions were influenced by Democrat politicians’ criticisms of ICE, specifically mentioning Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles. Despite the unrest, ICE officers arrested 118 aliens in LA, including five gang members and individuals with previous criminal records, with around 2,000 arrests being made each day.

Increased Violence Against ICE Officers Must Cease

Over 1,000 protestors attacked federal law enforcement premises and ICE law enforcement officers last night in Los Angeles. They slashed tires, defaced buildings, and damaged taxpayer-funded property. It took two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to respond.

ICE officers are currently experiencing a 413% surge in assaults. In recent times, their family members have also been doxed and targeted.

This surge in Los Angeles riots and assaults on ICE officers follows denunciation and vilification of ICE by Democrats such as Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the violence, stating “The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is abhorrent. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must denounce it. ICE officers risk their lives to defend American citizens. Democrat politicians like Jeffries, Mayor Wu, Walz, and Mayor Bass are escalating the assault on our ICE officers through their frequent vilification of ICE.”

Activists and Sanctuary Politicians Choosing Criminals Over Victims

These activists and sanctuary politicians are opting to support criminals instead of American victims. ICE operations in LA this week have led to the arrest of 118 aliens, which included 5 gang members, and individuals with former criminal records of drug trafficking, assault, child cruelty, domestic violence, robbery, and alien smuggling. Despite violent protests, ICE continues its enforcement operations, arresting 2,000 aliens a day this week.
