U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Essayli, delivered a blunt message Monday: no amount of rioting or political pressure will halt ICE’s enforcement actions. Speaking to Fox News, he assured that federal efforts would only intensify, not back down.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration for deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles in the wake of anti-ICE riots.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) added an anti-ICE protester to its Most Wanted list after the individual allegedly assaulted a federal officer.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), known for his role on the January 6 Committee accusing Americans of insurrection, is now defending rioters attacking federal officials in Los Angeles. Schiff opposed President Donald Trump’s decision to federalize 2,000 California National Guard troops to restore order as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were targeted by violent, masked agitators over the weekend.
