The U.S. is evacuating some diplomatic staff from its embassy in Iraq Wednesday, and allowing families and dependents of diplomats in Bahrain and other locations to return to the U.S., as negotiations with Iran stall.

Breitbart News reported earlier Wednesday that President Donald Trump had said he was “much less confident” about the prospect of an Iran nuclear deal, after several weeks of sounding bullish about talks.

The Times of Israel reported:

The US State Department confirms that it is evacuating some of its staff from its embassy in Iraq.

…

In addition, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East, a US official said. Another US official said that it was mostly relevant to family members located in Bahrain — where the bulk of them are based.

About That US Army Soldier Who Was Caught Defecting to Pro-Riot Leftists…– townhall.com

So, there’s a video of a U.S Army member mouthing off about defecting to the pro-riot side, claiming she’s doing it to uphold our constitutional rights.

She also won’t be a “pawn” for Trump’s plan or something. She claimed to be speaking for the US Military. It sure makes it seem like she was the spokesperson for numerous military personnel. It’s beyond ridiculous; it’s also worthy of a court martial. She’s defying the orders of her commander-in-chief. Well, as it turns out, she’s all alone.

This individual was initially identified as having served in the Texas National Guard but was discharged in 2020. It was later revealed that she served in the US Army from 2010-2014, which was followed by a six-year stint in the reserves.  The Defense Department quickly made her persona non grata vis-à-vis speaking for the U.S. Military. Reportedly, her family is also here illegally. I think ICE needs to visit this household.

WH press sec says Trump ‘absolutely supports peaceful protest,’ does not support ‘assaulting law enforcement’ | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

“He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard,” said Leavitt.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized on Wednesday that while President Donald Trump respects the First Amendment right to peaceful protest, he strongly opposes those who engage in criminal conduct. This comes as the Trump administration sent thousands of US National Guard troops and hundreds of US Marines to Los Angeles to quell the ongoing anti-ICE riots, which erupted on June 6 following large-scale apprehensions of illegal migrants in the county.

A reporter asked Leavitt during a White House press briefing, “Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump does support of find acceptable?

Leavitt responded, “The president absolutely supports peaceful protest. He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard.”

She then emphasized that Trump has a zero tolerance policy for violent protesters, saying, “He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job. It’s very clear to the president what he supports and what he does not. Unfortunately, for Democrats, that line has not been made clear, and they’ve allowed this unrest and violence to continue and the president has had to step in.”

ICE To Deploy Tactical Units To Five Locations– wltreport.com

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intends to deploy tactical units to five Democrat-led areas as anti-ICE riots continue in Los Angeles.

The agency is preparing to send tactical units to New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, and northern Virginia.

From the New York Post:

Previous ICE raids led to distressing scenes in downtown Los Angeles after protests quickly escalated into full-blown riots over the last five days — with Trump deploying the National Guard and US Marines to maintain order.

Newsom condemned Trump’s decisions during an emotional televised address Tuesday night, when he likened the president’s actions to those of an “authoritarian” regime.

“Donald Trump, without consulting with California’s law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets. Illegally, and for no reason,” the 40th governor of California said.

“This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation … putting our people, our officers, and the National Guard at risk. That’s when the downward spiral began. He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by fanning the flames even harder.”

Federal Judge Sides With Trump, Smacks Down Newsom’s Emergency Request– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A federal judge has declined California Governor Gavin Newsom’s emergency request for an immediate restraining order to stop President Donald Trump from deploying military personnel to protect federal property and personnel from rioters in Los Angeles.

After California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit on Monday seeking to stop the deployment of both National Guard personnel and U.S. Marines, Newsom followed up on Tuesday with an emergency request seeking immediate relief.

The filing included a declaration from Paul Eck, deputy general counsel in the California Military Department, who said the federal government intends to use military personnel to assist with immigration enforcement operations. This support would include holding secure perimeters around areas where immigration raids were taking place and securing streets for federal agents.

Agents came under attack while carrying out lawful immigration raids in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday, while similar, albeit more mild incidents have taken place in other parts of the country.

Military personnel have thus far been protecting federal buildings, though it is unclear if their mission will change in the near future.

Sorry PBS, Trump’s L.A. Military Deployments Were Not So Unprecedented– www.newsbusters.org

Few words are as frequently misused to garner attention as the phrase “unprecedented.” Contrary to the way liberal media likes to throw the word around, everything you disagree with is not considered unprecedented. There is, of course, quite a bit of precedent for news stations like PBS using their platform to complain about “unprecedented” Republican politics.

During PBS NewsHour’s coverage of the Los Angeles riots Monday, host Geoff Bennett emphasized the unprecedented nature of both President Trump’s disregard of Governor Newsom’s rejection of National Guard support and his deployment of Marines to the city to keep the peace. Naturally, there was actually precedent for both these actions.

That didn’t matter to Bennett or his guest, Juliette Kayyem, former Obama homeland-security official and CNN pundit. When asked about the implications of Trump’s supposedly unprecedented decisions, she responded:

There’s not only no precedent to this. There’s no sort of check on it. We don’t know if this is the standard, if what happened in L.A. is the standard now for federalizing the National Guard and deployment of active military. The Trump administration has so lowered the floor and the distinction between civil and military actions, that they appear now to be one and the same.

Los Angeles police swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, while deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Members of the National Guard stood watch behind plastic shields, but did not appear to participate in the arrests Tuesday night.

Hours later, many of the protesters had dispersed, although sporadic confrontations continued that were much smaller than in previous nights. Officials said the curfew was necessary to stop vandalism and theft by agitators looking to cause trouble.

The demonstrations have been mostly concentrated downtown and the curfew covers a 1-square-mile section that includes an area where protests have occurred since Friday in the sprawling city of 4 million. The city of Los Angeles encompasses roughly 500 square miles.

FIRST ON FOX – The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement amid rioting in Los Angeles on June 7.

LA has experienced days of unrest, with agitators setting fire to cars, throwing bricks and fireworks at police officers and vehicles, graffiting property, looting businesses, and smashing windows of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters downtown in response to ICE raids in the city last week.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is charged with attempted murder after throwing the Molotov cocktail.

“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles. ICE arrested Garduno-Galvez, and he is now being charged with attempted murder. These are the types of criminal illegal aliens that rioters are fighting to protect,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday statement.

California Governor Gavin Newsom understands what Trump is really after in his state. Trump is trying to get the authority to use the military to go into states to help with immigration raids.

The problem that the Trump administration has run into is that they don’t have enough people in ICE to be able to meet its imposed quota of 3,000 deportations a day.

State and local police in blue states and large cities have refused to cooperate with Trump’s deportation efforts, which means that the administration has turned to trying to use the military.

The AP reported that Gov. Newsom is taking action to block Trump:

The governor’s request said it was in response to a change in orders for the Guard.

The filing included a declaration from Paul Eck, deputy general counsel in the California Military Department. Eck said the department has been informed that the Pentagon plans to direct the California National Guard to start providing support for immigration operations. That support would include holding secure perimeters around areas where raids are taking place and securing streets for immigration agents.

Alarm spread through California agricultural centers Tuesday as panicked workers reported that federal immigration authorities — who had largely refrained from major enforcement action in farming communities in the first months of the Trump administration — were showing up at farm fields and packinghouses from the Central Coast to the San Joaquin Valley.

“Today we are seeing an uptick in the chaotic presence of immigration enforcement, particularly the Border Patrol,” said Elizabeth Strater, vice president of the United Farm Workers. “We’re seeing it in multiple areas.”

Department of Homeland Security officials declined to confirm specific locations, but said enforcement actions were taking place across the southern area of the state. Advocates from numerous immigrant advocacy groups said their phones were lighting up with calls, videos and texts from multiple counties.

The Times reviewed a video that showed a worker running through a field under the cover of early morning fog, with at least one agent in pursuit on foot and a Border Patrol truck racing along an adjacent dirt road. Eventually, the worker was caught.

In Tulare County, near the community of Richgrove, immigration agents emerged near a field where farm laborers were picking blueberries, causing some

On an otherwise unremarkable spring day, the Trump administration’s lawless assault on the rights of immigrants was interrupted by a government-chartered plane landing at Dulles International Airport. In a revealing reverse-image set piece, some 50 white Afrikaner immigrants from South Africa had arrived, in pursuit of an array of generous resettlement provisions. In February, Trump had signed an executive order granting them streamlined refugee status and a smooth path to US citizenship. The newcomers were feted with welcoming statements from the president, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and scores of MAGA-aligned commentators and pundits.

The same day that the Afrikaner “refugees” were getting the red-carpet treatment, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it was ending temporary protected status for immigrants from Afghanistan—many of whom had assisted the US war effort there and would thus face potential reprisals from the Taliban should they be deported. At a press conference after the Afrikaners’ flight landed, a reporter asked State Department spokesman Christopher Landau about the vast disparity in treatment between white immigrants with dubious claims of violent persecution in their homeland, and a group of their nonwhite counterparts who were exposed to real personal and political danger. Landau replied that “one of the criteria” in assigning refugee status to an immigrant population is making sure they can be “assimilated into our country.”

“A lot of these algorithms are servicing hours old, or even days old content. So you might be looking at a video of something wondering what’s happening in LA. It’s actually two days ago. And that’s only matters because it can get people a false impression of what’s actually happening at a moment of unrest,” Stelter added.

As Los Angeles devolves into violent chaos led by the anti-ICE activists that have flooded the streets to fight against immigration enforcement, it is being discovered that tax dollars are funding the groups organizing these riots.

One of the groups behind the riots is a non-profit called Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), an LA-based group that advocates for illegal aliens. This group has long been an avowed enemy of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and in 2018 led a campaign to abolish ICE.

As rioters coursed through downtown L.A. this weekend, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference celebrating the work of the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network’s hotline for helping alert left-wing, open-border activists to where ICE actions were taking place across the L.A. area.

You’d think setting cars on fire would be the bare minimum threshold for calling a “mostly peaceful protest” a riot, but not when it comes to the mainstream media. According to ABC News, it’s apparently just “a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.” You know, everyone’s favorite pastime.

If you needed any more justification as to why the media has become largely irrelevant, here it is!

This is also why there is only one particular demographic that still watches cable news—most people won’t just believe something while watching the exact opposite unfold before their eyes and accept the reporter’s explanation as gospel.

You have to be deep in liberal fantasy land to watch rioters setting cars on fire and still believe they’re just trying to help an illegal alien earn a living for his family back in Mexico. And the fact that this kind of chaos is the most effective way to “send a message” to the Trump administration might say more than they intended.

How have they not learned their lesson? This is exactly the kind of nonsense that cost the left the election. You can’t claim two plus two equals five and expect the public to accept it as truth—voters are a lot smarter than the media gives them credit for.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is condemning his own party for failing to sufficiently condemn four days of violent rioting aimed at impeding federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.

Just as violence erupted in Los Angeles for the fourth day in a row, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) took to X in order to condemn the violence. “I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that,” the senator wrote.

“This is anarchy and true chaos,” Fetterman continued. “My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.”

The post was accompanied by a photo of several vehicles burning while a masked rioter stands atop a burned out car while waving a Mexican flag during Sunday night’s rioting.

Fetterman’s comments differ starkly from most elected Democrats, the majority of whom have been attempting to blame the Trump Administration for the unrest that has now spread to additional cities in California and Texas.

Numerous Democratic politicians have in recent days returned to their summer 2020 strategy of characterizing violent leftist riots as peaceful protest and President Donald Trump’s desire to restore order as both escalatory and authoritarian.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, among the standouts in his party who previously refused to join progressives in attacking Israel in the wake of the 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks, proved willing once again to call out his colleagues for their radical approach.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a number of lawful operations last week in California. Democrats were quick to demonize the federal agents and frame their operations as illegitimate.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, for instance, accused ICE agents of sowing “terror” and stressed that the city would “not stand for this.”

California U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla followed suit, stating that the “ICE raids across Los Angeles today are a continuation of a disturbing pattern of extreme and cruel immigration enforcement operations across the country” and demanding “accountability for today’s actions.”
