Trump Deportation

Excerpt:

“The police closed both sides of the street and arrested everyone still present.”

For the fourth consecutive day, protests against federal immigration enforcement have gripped Los Angeles, drawing thousands of rioters into the streets of downtown LA and Santa Ana. Demonstrations quickly descended into chaos Monday evening and police zip-tied rioters and carted them away on LAPD buses.

Rioters were given the option to disperse or face arrest after police declared an unlawful assembly. Those who did not leave were arrested. Riots and protests have been ongoing since Friday and 56 people were arrested over the weekend.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass and the entire extremist California progressive class have egg on their faces Monday evening as the Los Angeles anti-ICE protests were neutered by the president’s shaming of Golden State officials to take action, his decision to send in the National Guard and the Marines, and his refusal to tolerate violence.

Bass, Sen. Adam Schiff, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former vice president and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and the whole Marxist gang decried Trump’s decisions—yet, as we’ve seen before, they had no interest in stopping the rampage and look pathetic now that the president is showing how things are actually done.

It’s similar to the border crisis: he shut down that garbage almost overnight. The commander-in-chief summed that up when addressing a joint session of Congress in March:

One of Trump’s standout lines during his speech was when he said, “It turned out that all we really needed was a new president” in response to how former President Joe Biden and Democrats complained they needed legislation to tackle soaring illegal immigration.

Last month, the Border Patrol recorded 8,450 migrants who crossed the southern border illegally – the lowest level in at least 25 years. For perspective, most months during the Biden administration had well over 100,000 border encounters.

California sued the Trump administration on Monday over its decision to send in National Guard troops in response to protests over immigration enforcement, calling it an unconstitutional use of executive power that usurped the state’s authority.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in San Francisco asks the judge to set aside President Trump’s order calling in the National Guard without authorization from the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom.

Most Americans approve of President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants and crack down on the violent protests that erupted in Los Angeles over the weekend in response to immigration raids. Doing what comes naturally, elected Democrats rallied in opposition to Trump’s popular agenda as hooligans threw bricks at police officers, ransacked local shops, set fire to cars, and spit on American flags (while waving Mexicans flags).

So much for the Democratic Party’s short-lived efforts to rebrand as a no-nonsense party capable of understanding the concerns of normal Americans.

As the chaos was enfolding on the streets of Los Angeles, Politico reported that the Democratic Party was in the midst of a “Great Un-Awokening.” Ambitious Democrats were “in the middle of a slow-motion Sista Souljah moment” aiming to “ratchet back a leftward lurch on social issues some in the party say cost them the November election.” As an example, Politico praised California governor Gavin Newsom for having “muted his tone on immigration issues,” noting that in addition to proposing “cuts” to a state program that gives free health care to illegal immigrants, Newsom had also stopped using the term “sanctuary” to describe state policies that prohibit local authorities from cooperating with federal immigration officers.

On Sunday during live coverage of the Los Angeles riots, local ABC affiliate KABC ran footage that did not match what the anchors were describing. Jory Rand went as far as to say the protestors were “having fun watching cars burn,” but would he feel that way if that was his car? Would this have been just another example of the liberal media distracting from the obvious facts?

Los Angeles took a beating earlier this year with the historic wildfires in January but has taken another pounding with the city’s breakout over ICE arrests and deportations. Again, the city and nation turn heads due to the lack of leadership and command to simply protect the people of Los Angeles, ranging from California Governor Gavin Newsom, down to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

In a clip that will live infamy alongside this and this, from the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, Rand described the footage this way:

I don’t know if there’s any police activity pushing these folks this way, or perhaps just the smoke. It’s getting too hard to breathe. More explosions here from those cars. But we do have a decent sized crowd watching these cars continue to burn. Otherwise, as Tim said, things do look relatively peaceful at this hour. We saw the folks at Aliso and Alameda sitting down on the ground. We saw the folks at Temple and Alameda just kind of waiting it out. It’s broken down to just a couple dozen people at that location, and so things seem pretty-It’s hard to say that with three cars burning, but things do seem relatively calm minus these cars that have been set on fire.

As is the case with most pro-illegal immigration demonstrations, there are a lack of American flags flown. Odd, because you would think someone here illegally wouldn’t fly the flag of the country they are seeking “asylum” from, yet at the anti-ICE riots taking place in Los Angeles, that was the case. At least, until a handful of future Democrat staffers realized the optics problem and handed out American flags because they thought they could con people into thinking they were patriotic.

The goal is to avoid any more in-kind Republican campaign ads like this one.

This may surprise you, but the left aren’t sending their best and brightest. In Los Angeles, the worst and dimmest run rampant.

A handful of organizers, or at least one of the progressive NGOs funded by progressive billionaires, attempted to do something about it, as captured on the ground by Aldo Buttazzoni. They are giving out American flags. I think the goal is that when people see photos of them flying American flags, it will mask how much they hate America IRL.

They would have gotten away with it, too, had it not been for one thing that was overlooked…

They never told people that flying the American flag upside down was a bad thing.

The latest L.A. riots came after ICE began enforcing immigration law and rounding up illegals in downtown Los Angeles, and the New York Times is desperately trying to downplay the radical and violent nature of the so-called protests by calling them “largely peaceful” (i.e., somewhat violent, as a trove of photos from Los Angeles prove).

A representative piece is “What to Know About the Immigration Protests in Los Angeles,” with this subhead attached: “Demonstrations against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration have been largely peaceful, but tensions flared after President Trump ordered National Guard troops to deploy to the city.”

The story is wrong right from the subhead. Riots were already ongoing, with stones hurled at cop cars, while the National Guard troops were sent to protect the Los Angeles Federal Building, which came under siege Friday by protesters.

The byline was shared by breaking news reporters Yan Zhuang, Anushka Patil, and Remy Tumin, who used that ridiculous phrase “largely peaceful” three more times in their actual report (was “mostly peaceful” still taken by CNN, after the last round of national rioting five years ago?).

That defensive description held even as the story documented many violent acts:

The protests have been largely peaceful but have flared up in pockets of downtown Los Angeles and in nearby suburbs, as well as in San Francisco.

Demonstrations on Sunday afternoon near a downtown detention center were largely peaceful, but some protesters fired fireworks at police officers under a bridge on the nearby U.S. 101 freeway. Several driverless Waymo cars were set on fire in downtown Los Angeles.

Mr. Trump described the largely peaceful demonstrators as “insurrectionist mobs” on social media on Sunday, and said Los Angeles had been “invaded and occupied.”

Excerpt:

“At this point, this has been very peaceful. It has been tense at some points, but we haven’t seen any violence happening here,” CNN correspondent Julia Vargas Jones said as the network showed rioters on motorbikes circling a car on fire in the middle of an intersection.

A similar video was shown on CNN as Rep. Nanette Barragán (D., Calif.) accused the Trump administration of “targeting peaceful protests.”

… Former vice president Kamala Harris accused the Trump administration of “stoking fear” and said the “demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.”

“I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms,” she said in a statement.

Rep. Judy Chu (D., Calif.) also blamed Trump for the destruction, accusing him of creating a “manufactured crisis” by deploying the National Guard. As she argued on MSNBC that the Los Angeles Police Department had the situation under control, the network showed multiple large fires burning in the street. CNN anchor Dana Bash, meanwhile, suggested the disruption wasn’t “a real riot.”

“I just want to state for the record that what did happen in 1992 was so different from what we’re seeing now,” she said. “That was a real riot that went all across the city of Los Angeles after a verdict in the Rodney King case.”

A local ABC affiliate anchor, Marc Brown, described the rioters as “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.” NBC News correspondent Steve Patterson called them “peaceful people that want to get their message across.”

Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz predicted on Monday that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit against President Donald Trump over the Los Angeles riots will go down in flames, just like his city.

Speaking on his program “The Dershow,” Dershowitz expressed doubt that the U.S. Supreme Court would “second guess” Trump’s decision to federalize thousands of California National Guardsmen and deploy them to the epicenters of riots taking place across L.A. Gavin quickly sued Trump, accusing the president of “unlawfully” ordering soldiers under his control to put down the unrest.

“The Supreme Court will not second-guess the President of the United States on this issue,” Dershowitz said. “They will say, whether right or wrong, the president had the authority to make this decision and he had the authority to make it over the lack of consent of the governor,” Dershowitz explained.

“Let’s be clear, there was violence. You can see it on television; there were bombings, fire bombings, and burnings of Teslas and other self-driving cars. There were rocks being thrown at ICE officers. There were threats against ICE officers, threats against their families. Was it a full-blown insurrection? No.”

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump called in the National Guard to help after the violence against federal agents, the police, and the property damage erupted.

Meanwhile, Democrats were denying the violence and claiming things were in hand when they weren’t. Instead of truly standing focused against the riots, they were spending their time attacking Trump and inciting people.

But now, Mayor Karen Bass has truly given away the game in her latest remarks during a press conference she gave Monday night. She called on the federal government to stop the ICE raids. She claimed that on Thursday, it was peaceful until the intervention of the federal government [the ICE raids].

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday that the suspect accused of assaulting a federal officer during the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles has been identified.

The FBI initially asked for the public’s help by offering a $50,000 cash reward for information leading to the man’s arrest. He was accused of injuring a federal officer after throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles, according to the FBI.

Bondi was a guest on “Hannity” Monday night, when she broke the news to host Sean Hannity.

“The FBI has identified him,” Bondi said. “That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house, as we speak. And he has been identified…his name is Reyes. He is going to be on the Most Wanted list.

“He has been identified by the great police work by the FBI,” she continued. “So, you can run, you can’t hide. We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on police officers, we’re coming after you.”

President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to stop rioting could last 60 days and is estimated to cost at least $134 million, the Pentagon revealed Tuesday — as House Democrats slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his role in the mission.

Trump took control of California’s National Guard Saturday to deploy 4,100 of its members to halt violent protests against immigration enforcement raids. He also ordered 700 Marines to the area Monday to help provide security for federal buildings and officials.

Looting and clashes with police continued for a fourth straight night Monday in downtown Los Angeles.

“We stated very publicly that it’s 60 days because we want to ensure that those rioters, looters and thugs on the other side assaulting our police officers know that we’re not going anywhere,” Hegseth told Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) during a House budget hearing Tuesday.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that troops deployed to LA could remain there 60 days.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that 2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to Los Angeles to arrest protesters.

The military has activated about 700 active-duty Marines who could be sent to Los Angeles, joining National Guard troops who were sent to the city to respond to protests, the U.S. Northern Command said in a statement.

Members of the Marine Corps could start arriving in the Los Angeles area as soon as Tuesday, a defense official told CBS News. The Marines are based in Twentynine Palms, a city east of Los Angeles.

Northern Command said the Marines will “seamlessly integrate” with hundreds of members of the National Guard to protect “federal personnel and federal property.” They have been trained in “de-escalation, crowd control and standing rules for the use of force,” the military added.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Monday that around 700 Marines “are being deployed to Los Angeles to restore order.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested late Monday he could take legal action over the planned use of Marines, calling it illegal.

In a post on X, he wrote, “U.S. Marines serve a valuable purpose for this country — defending democracy. They are not political pawns. The Secretary of Defense is illegally deploying them onto American streets so Trump can have a talking point at his parade this weekend. It’s a blatant abuse of power. We will sue to stop this. The Courts and Congress must act. Checks and balances are crumbling. This is a red line — and they’re crossing it. WAKE UP!”

Former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has issued a stark warning about the handling of the murder case of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutally killed in Houston.

Ogg revealed that one of the alleged killers, Franklin Peña Ramos, had been involved in a prior sexual assault in Costa Rica—a crime that was neither prosecuted nor properly recorded—allowing him to enter the United States without issue.

The revelation has sparked public outrage, especially from those who argue that the current immigration policies make it easier for dangerous individuals to enter the country.

The community is demanding answers, while the new District Attorney, Sean Teare, faces criticism for allegedly adopting a “soft-on-crime” stance that could threaten the pursuit of full justice for Jocelyn.

Jocelyn’s body was discovered on June 17, 2024. Investigators believe she was sexually assaulted and murdered by Peña Ramos and Johan Martínez-Rangel, both Venezuelan nationals residing in the U.S. illegally. The brutality of the crime shocked the nation.

A Barack Obama-appointed federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from terminating the immigration documents of 5,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States.

A federal court in California has halted an attempt by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to revoke approximately 5,000 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) documents.

A TPS designation protects foreign nationals from deportation.

The status also allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.

The move from Democrat-aligned Judge Edward M. Chen comes despite the U.S. Supreme Court having already affirmed the Trump administration’s authority to end Venezuela’s TPS designation.

TPS is a limited protection offered only when foreign nationals cannot safely return home.

United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday acknowledged the murder of two mayoral aides in Mexico City, declared that political violence in Mexico is “real” and asserted that the U.S. wants to help stop the southward flow of weapons that often end up in the hands of cartel henchmen.

In an appearance before the United States House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs Committee, he also said that the Mexican government has been “very responsive on our security concerns” and “increased their security cooperation with us.”

Mayor’s personal secretary and advisor murdered in Mexico City

Responding to a question from Congressman Michael McCaul of Texas, Rubio noted that he “heard last night [that] two more people were murdered in Mexico City, associated with the mayor of Mexico City.”

“The political violence there is real,” he said.

Rubio was referring to the murder on Tuesday morning of Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada’s personal secretary, Ximena Guzmán, and José Muñoz, an advisor.

President Donald Trump has accused Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum of being too “afraid” to deal with drug cartels.

On Sunday, Trump said Sheinbaum is so afraid of drug cartels that “she can’t even think straight.”

The president argues that this is why Sheinbaum rejected his proposal to send American troops into Mexico to fight the bloodthirsty cartels.

Trump made the comments after he was asked whether news that he had made the offer was true.

On Saturday, Sheinbaum said that she had turned down Trump’s offer.

She claimed she rejected the plan because it would impugn Mexican sovereignty.

“It’s true,” Trump told reporters.

Excerpt:

President Trump on Sunday confirmed he offered to send troops into Mexico, but said the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, is terrified of the cartels.

A day earlier, Sheinbaum had said that she rejected an offer from Trump for American troops to be shipped south of the border for the purpose of combating drug trafficking.

“And do you know what I told him? No, President Trump,” she said. “The territory cannot be violated. Sovereignty cannot be sold. Sovereignty is cherished and defended.”

Republicans have long floated the idea of U.S. military intervention in Mexican territory, a suggestion vehemently rejected by multiple Mexican administrations.

In February, Trump fulfilled a campaign promise by designating several Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. Members of his administration have also talked about potential drone strikes on the groups.

“Mexico is saying that I offered to send U.S. troops into Mexico to take care of the cartel, she wants to know, is that true?” he said back to a reporter Sunday on Air Force One, later adding that “it’s true.”

‘I have been this racehorse that has been held back,’ says NYC mayor

Eric Adams (cropped, Mike Coppola/Getty Images)

New York City mayor Eric Adams will leave the Democratic primary and run for reelection as an independent, as internal tensions and a broader identity crisis roil the Democratic Party.

“Though I am still a Democrat, I am announcing that I will forgo the Democratic primary for mayor and appeal directly to all New Yorkers as an independent candidate in the general election,” Adams announced in a video Thursday morning. He argued that New York City needs “truly independent leadership, not leaders pulled at by the extremists on the far-left or the far-right.”

Adams had been weighing an independent bid for weeks, as his high-profile corruption case dragged on in court, sources close to him told the New York Post. A federal judge on Wednesday permanently dismissed Adams’s criminal case.

The mayor, who faced charges of bribery, wire fraud, and soliciting illegal campaign contributions, has repeatedly accused the Biden administration of bringing the charges against him in retaliation for his criticism of former president Joe Biden’s handling of the migrant crisis, according to the New York Times.

The Border Crossing Numbers That Democrats Don’t Want You to See – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

In his speech to Congress last month, President Donald Trump called out Joe Biden and the Democrats for falsely claiming that it would take new legislation to secure the border because border crossings went down significantly on Trump’s watch, proving that “all we really needed was a new president.”

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border dropped once again in March, plummeting to a historic low, with Border Patrol encountering just over 7,000 for the entirety of March.

Border Czar Tom Homan praised Trump’s leadership for achieving a stunning drop in illegal border crossings in a post on X.

“President Trump’s leadership continues to break records! Border Patrol encounters for the month of March were just 7,181 total,” Homan wrote, emphasizing the historic significance of the figures. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984, which was 41 years ago. I cannot recall a single month since then that the numbers have been that low.”

Excerpt:

A federal judge on Wednesday permanently dismissed the sweeping public corruption charges against Mayor Adams  — denying an effort by Trump’s Justice Department to have them, tossed “without prejudice,” or keeping open the possibility of bringing them again.

Manhattan Federal Judge Dale Ho’s decision was not based on the merits of the case against Adams or a belief of whether he was innocent or guilty.

It came after the Justice Department asked Ho to get rid of the case without prejudice, meaning it could be refiled; Mayor Adams asked him to get rid of it permanently, and former federal judges and prosecutors urged him to scrutinize the terms behind the dismissal deal offered to Adams closely and consider appointing a special prosecutor.

The judge appointed an independent lawyer, Paul Clement, the former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, to advise him on the matter, who recommended he dismiss the case for good. Clement said the prospect of the mayor feeling indebted to the president out of fear he could be reindicted and not New Yorkers was “deeply troubling.”

Trump’s crackdown on students with visas and green cards sets up First Amendment showdown– www.cbsnews.com

Excerpt:

Washington — The Trump administration’s crackdown on students who participated in pro-Palestinian activities have raised questions about the First Amendment rights of visa and green card holders amid the shocking detentions of a number of students at Tufts, Columbia and other universities in recent weeks.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act that authorizes the nation’s top diplomat to revoke the visas of foreign national students on the grounds that their presence or activities have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences” for the U.S.

The federal government is not required to lay out proof beyond that explanation, legal experts told CBS News, setting up a legal showdown over foreign nationals’ free speech rights in the U.S.

“There’s a tension between everyone’s First Amendment rights to free speech and the immigration statute’s broad provisions giving the secretary of state broad latitude to declare someone deportable simply because he thinks that the student may have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. And the courts will have to figure out where the appropriate line should be drawn,” said Stephen Yale-Loehr, a retired immigration law professor at Cornell University.

Venezuela Debuts Website to Report ‘Unjust Deportations’ of Illegals from U.S.– www.breitbart.com

Excerpt:

Venezuela’s socialist regime launched a new website Tuesday that allows individuals to report alleged “unjust deportations” of Venezuelan illegal migrants from the United States “before it’s too late.”

The website is managed by the “Committee for the Defense of Venezuelan Migrants,” an organization directly affiliated with the Venezuelan socialist regime that describes itself as an organization “committed to the defense and promotion of human rights focused on denouncing and making visible the situation of Venezuelan migrants in the U.S.”

“We are a collective committed to the defense and promotion of human rights focused on denouncing and making visible the particular situation of vulnerability of Venezuelan citizens in the United States, whose presidential policy has been dedicated to stigmatize migration,” the website reads. “The persecution, imprisonment and deportation of Venezuelans without due process is an aberration that should not be indifferent to us and that constitutes an anachronistic and illegal act that evokes the most nefarious episodes of human history.”
