The National Guard will be deployed to Los Angeles County after anti-ICE protests continued to escalate Saturday afternoon, Trump administration border czar Tom Homan told Fox News Saturday.
On Saturday, tear gas was deployed near Home Depot in Paramount, California, where ICE agents were allegedly conducting a raid.
Following the raid, a violent protest broke out and several arrests were made for assault on a federal agent.
In an interview with Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show,” Homan said authorities are “stepping up” and “mobiliz[ing] to address violence and destruction occurring near raid locations where demonstrators are gathering.
“American people, this is about enforcing the law, and again, we’re not going to apologize for doing it,” Homan said.
Homan threatened to arrest every last rioter.

The White House released a statement:
“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.”
Governor Newsom confirmed troops are deploying and whined about it.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need.
The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery.
This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.

The Los Angeles Police Chief announced his officers would be standing down.
This is why Los Angeles has become a shithole. So embarrassed to call this my hometown. When law enforcement have to turn a blind eye due to the Police Chief and his POS Governor, police should drop their badges and leave.

There were some moments of levity as most of the rioters were quite pathetic.

Arrests were made as elite Border Patrol agents hit the scene.
Elite Border Patrol BORTAC units are on scene in Los Angeles. They are the elite of the elite within DHS. Border Patrol SWAT. They are the ones who rushed and killed the Uvalde school shooter when local police waited around. Not the guys you want to mess with if you’re there. https://t.co/ebLmEif1az

Meanwhile, in New York, the NYPD was doing its jobn unlike the LAPD.
Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE’s immigration enforcement operations.
Thankfully, unlike in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the riots. So far, NYPD has made five arrests.
Secretary Noem’s message to rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
