DHS takes victory lap after arresting over 10K illegal aliens in deep blue city despite violent riots
Story by Peter Pinedo • 4h
Over 10,000 illegal immigrants, including murderers, kidnappers and sexual predators, have been arrested in Los Angeles since June, despite anti-ICE riots and pushback from sanctuary politicians, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The agency told Fox News that its enforcement operations, which began in June, were a "success" despite "violent rioters who assaulted our law enforcement, threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at them, and attempted to obstruct lawful arrests of criminal illegal aliens."
The operations were carried out despite Los Angeles and California being sanctuary jurisdictions with laws inhibiting local and state authorities from cooperating with ICE.
The agency also received significant pushback from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The California legislature passed measures attempting to restrict federal agents from carrying out immigration enforcement arrests at schools, hospitals and courthouses and another banning agents from wearing masks, both of which were signed by Newsom.
