ICE Cracks Down on Criminal Illegal Migrants Amid LA Riots
As Los Angeles descended into chaos over President Donald Trump’s deportation plan, Homeland Security continued its efforts to remove dangerous criminal illegal migrants from the streets to protect law-abiding residents.
Homeland Security recently shared criminal records and mugshots of over 20 illegal migrants who were apprehended for serious offenses such as murder, pedophilia, fentanyl trafficking, sexual assault, and armed robbery.
The arrests took place amidst violent anti-ICE protests in the city, where rioters clashed with law enforcement, vandalized property, and waved foreign flags as they committed crimes.

Other offenders included individuals convicted of sexual crimes against minors or vulnerable individuals, prompting strong condemnation from DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines helped quell the violent riots, despite opposition from LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
