President Donald Trump said he is directing his administration to take actions alongside other departments and agencies to liberate Los Angeles from the “Migrant Invasion” while putting an end to “Migrant riots.”
On Truth Social, the president denounced the riots against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that have been taking place in Los Angeles since Friday.
“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals,” Trump wrote. “Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve.”
“I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots,” he continued. “Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The post came shortly after Trump said during a gaggle with reporters that the actions in Los Angeles did not constitute an insurrection.
