DHS released the suspect information after violence broke out in Downtown LA over the weekend in response to the ICE raids that resulted in “hundreds of illegal aliens [being] arrested by ICE officers and agents,” including “many with a criminal history and criminal convictions.”
The agency shared more information about 19 people apprehended by ICE Los Angeles on June 7 and suspected of offenses ranging from robbery to second-degree murder to rape.
“America’s brave ICE officers are removing the worst of the worst from LA’s streets, while LA’s leaders are working tirelessly against them,” DHS said in a statement as riots continued through the weekend.
Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County said agitators “are not protesting” and criticized California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for not taking appropriate action.
“They are trying to violently influence something by political action. That is what this is. That is everything that the Constitution stands against,” said Bianco, a Republican who is running for governor.
“That is what law enforcement stands against, and that is what will facilitate the downfall of our civilized society. A civilized society has an adherence to the rule of law, and there is a consequence for breaking that social compact. And when politicians encourage this behavior,” Bianco declared.
“Governor Newsom needs to put his phone down, go sit in his house behind the comfort of his TV screen and a couch, and be quiet because he is doing nothing but fueling this process. He needs to stay out of the way of law enforcement. He knows nothing about this. He knows absolutely nothing about the enforcement of law. He despises the enforcement of law, and he has encouraged this,” the sheriff added.
