Maxine Waters taunts armed agents after feds slam door on her during LA riots: ‘You better shoot straight’

Rep. Maxine Waters recently had a startling encounter at a federal building during the L.A. migrant riots. A video captured the moment when Waters approached a plywood-shielded doorway, where a small crowd had gathered. The California National Guard was standing guard at the door, and Waters attempted to enter.

“Hello, hello, hello,” Waters called out as she approached the door. She explained that she was there to use her congressional authority to check on David Huerta, the SEIU union leader who had been arrested during the protests. However, the agents informed her that the lobby was secure and not open to visitors at that time.

Undeterred, Waters insisted that she needed to get in to see Huerta. Despite the agent’s instructions to contact the public affairs office, Waters continued to demand entry. Eventually, the agent closed the door in her face as she called out for Huerta.

Waters later explained that she was there to report back to her caucus about the situation involving Huerta, who had been targeted but the reasons were unclear. She also mentioned another incident where she had confronted armed agents in a different part of the city.

In a statement following the incident, Waters criticized the use of force against peaceful demonstrators and emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional rights. She also expressed her concerns about President Trump’s actions and urged elected officials to prevent any violence.

Waters has been vocal about her opposition to the treatment of people of color in America and has accused the Trump administration of targeting sanctuary cities. She has called for peaceful protests and has warned against the use of guns to suppress demonstrations.

The Department of Homeland Security has been contacted for comment on the incident. Charles Creitz, a reporter for Fox News Digital, covered the story and provided background information on Waters’ actions.

This incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policies and the role of law enforcement in handling protests. It serves as a reminder of the importance of peaceful demonstrations and the need for dialogue to address contentious issues.
