(The Center Square) - Los Angeles faced a day of riots Friday and Saturday after a new wave of federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
operations, resulting in violence and the deployment of riot police.

Videos show rioters using hammers to break off concrete from nearby
structures to create projectiles to hurl at officers. Some of the
demonstrators identified with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, a pro-immigration organization given a $450,000 grant by the Biden administration�s Department of Homeland Security for �citizenship
education and training.�

According to figures cited by Los Angeles City Council, approximately 10%
of the city�s residents are illegal immigrants.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned the ICE operations, while Los
Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell reiterated the department�s policy of not assisting ICE with civil immigration enforcement or mass deportations, and not seeking to determine individuals� immigration
status.

David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union, the largest union in the state, was arrested while trying to block federal immigration agents attempting to execute a judicial warrant.

�This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement
actions in multiple locations around Los Angeles,� said Bass in a
statement. �These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city.�

LAPD was deployed to quell the riots, with LAPD Central Division Command issuing updates on the protests� devolution into riots.

What LAPD first called an �unpermitted demonstration� was declared an
�unlawful assembly� within several hours, after which the remaining, undispersed members of the crowd were warned that they would be �subject
to arrest.�

Approximately one hour after the declaration of unlawful assembly, LAPD reported that �violent individuals are throwing large pieces of concrete,�
soon after which a citywide tactical alert � requiring all officers to
remain on duty � was issued.

A video from independent journalist Anthony Cabassa shows rioters using
hammers on concrete structures to create these projectiles.

The arrest of Huerta, whose union represents 700,000 Californians,
represents a major escalation in law enforcement operations.

Huerta was arrested for interfering with federal officers, said U.S.
Attorney Bill Essayli, who oversees the Central District of California
that includes Los Angeles.

�Federal agents were executing a lawful judicial warrant at a LA worksite
this morning when David Huerta deliberately obstructed their access by
blocking their vehicle,� said Essayli in a statement. �He was arrested for interfering with federal officers and will face arraignment in federal
court on Monday.�

�Let me be clear: I don�t care who you are � if you impede federal agents,
you will be arrested and prosecuted,� continued Essayli. �No one has the
right to assault, obstruct, or interfere with federal authorities carrying
out their duties.�

Huerta, meanwhile, presented his involvement as a matter of justice.

�This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the
injustice that�s happening. Hard-working people, and members of our family
and our community, are being treated like criminals,� said Huerta in a statement after his release. �We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice. And we all have to stand on the right side of justice.�

At least 44 people were arrested, according to media reports.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
