Over 700 people have been arrested in the recent anti-ICE riots, and protests have broken out across the United States, according to FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

Bongino made the announcement in one of his update posts on the work the FBI has been engaged in. Bongino stated, "We warned those violently acting out in the recent riots that we would not tolerate it, and we would not forget."

"Over 700 arrests have been made in coordination with our federal and state partners. Many of those arrests are members of organized groups, and we are pouring through data in pursuit of more bad actors. We are not done. We are in the process of identifying and moving in on those who threw rocks at law enforcement officers and damaged property. I told you we would not forget. I wasn’t kidding. Stay tuned for more."

Over the last few weeks, as the Trump administration has ramped up deportation efforts in various locations around the US, strong backlash has taken place, particularly in deep blue cities, in reaction to ICE raids.

In Los Angeles earlier this month, several days of riots and looting plagued downtown LA. Mayor Karen Bass was forced to issue an emergency curfew to curb the chaos that was taking place. The riots started on Friday, June 6, and by Monday evening, June 9, over 100 people had been arrested for looting and other charges, including attempted murder.

Other riots have taken place in Seattle, where several people were arrested during an anti-ICE riot that took place last week. The unrest was part of the "No Kings" protests that were taking place across the nation. Similar riots have also taken place in Portland. Antifa militants involved in the riots have also been charged by the DOJ.
