George Soros anti-ICE ‘plot’ emerges amid LA riots… as ‘paid’ foreign agitators are finally exposed

President Donald Trump’s claim that ‘paid agitators’ are wreaking havoc in Los Angeles has raised questions about the protest groups and dark money flows from billionaires that may be behind the chaos in America’s second-biggest city.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Trump described some LA protestors as ‘paid insurrectionist or agitator or troublemakers,’ suggesting they were financed by clandestine groups, which the president did not name.

His comments heightened scrutiny over the protests, which erupted in downtown LA on Friday in response to federal immigration raids and escalated into clashes with law enforcers, property being vandalized and rampant looting.

LA police enforce curfew as Trump vows to ‘liberate’ city

Los Angeles police say they have made “mass arrests” after a fifth day of protests over US President Donald Trump’s immigration raids.

Mayor Karen Bass declared an overnight curfew within a relatively small area of the city’s downtown district, saying businesses were being vandalised and looted.

Elsewhere, the immigration raids that triggered the protests last Friday have continued, with deployed National Guard troops now protecting border control agents on enforcement operations.

LA Rioters Want to Be Feared

One of the oddest sights one can see in Moscow’s Red Square, aside from the artificially preserved and no longer even quite real-looking body of V. I. Lenin, are the tombs of most of the other Communist chiefs of the Soviet Union, all placed in a row outside the Kremlin wall. Joseph Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko are there, along with several lesser Soviet officials.

Do We Have a Nation? These aren’t rioters, they are invaders.

The past weekend saw one of America’s best-known and, for a long time, best-loved cities erupt in violent riots. Fires raged across Los Angeles as rioters waving foreign flags hurled everything from rocks and concrete slabs to fireworks and Molotov cocktails at federal law enforcement agents. Why? Those agents were tasked with carrying out the mass deportation agenda that played a key role in getting President Donald Trump elected a second time in a historic landslide victory. In other words, illegal immigrants waved Mexican flags, burned American flags, terrorized an American city, and assaulted officers of American law in order to… stay in America and not be sent back to the country whose flag they were waving.

Trump Should Crush the L.A. Riots—with a Subtle Hand

Los Angeles is burning. Earlier this year, seasonal fires ripped through the Southern California city, but now, the fires are entirely manmade. In response to the Trump administration’s deportation policy, left-wing activists and opportunistic rioters have taken to the streets to vandalize property, incinerate automobiles, and assault law enforcement officers. The images emerging from the city are shocking: thugs hurling rocks from an overpass onto police; men spinning motorcycles around burning debris; a masked, shirtless rioter waving a Mexican flag atop a burned-out autonomous car.

The Feds Are Investigating the Dark Money Bankrolling the L.A. Riots

The Trump administration is vowing to find out who’s bankrolling the L.A. riots because normal American people out there don’t like it when they’re tax dollars are misused to underwrite arson and looting. Taxpayers didn’t sign on to underwrite the left’s anti-American public spasms of insanity. Underwriting these bad actors with government grants is tantamount to forcing taxpayers to underwrite the protests by the loons of the Westboro Baptist Church. It’s insulting and ridiculous.

Fed Up with Migrant Chaos, Dutch Citizens Set Up DIY Border Checks

European voters are increasingly frustrated at establishment parties ignoring their demands for tougher migration controls. In the Netherlands over the weekend, a group of citizens gathered near the border with Germany near Ter Apel to stop cars and conduct asylum seeker checks themselves.

They decided to take action after ‘centre-right’ coalition parties blocked asylum reforms, prompting Geert Wilders to take his right-wing populist Freedom Party (PVV/PfE) out of the government.

Trump was right to send the National Guard to LA

President Trump called out the California National Guard, the first time since 1965 that any president has done so without a request from a state’s governor. It’s hard to see what other choice he had.

As ICE agents served a warrant to search a local business for suspected illegal immigrants, a crowd gathered. It quickly escalated from protest to riot, with cars burning, bricks thrown, and all of the typical hallmarks of an anarchic response to federal law enforcement. The rioting continued into the next day and ICE agents were assaulted and outnumbered.

At this point, there are few options. They could give up, go home, and forget about doing their job and enforcing federal law. That was the situation that prevailed for four years under Joe Biden, when millions were permitted to enter the country illegally and without consequence. America’s frustration with that state of affairs is a large part of what led to Trump’s reelection. Inaction on illegal immigration by this administration would mean betraying the voters on an issue Trump cares about.

Mexican President Threatened To ‘Mobilize’ Against U.S. Two Weeks Before L.A. Riots

Just weeks before violent riots broke out in Los Angeles in defiance of immigration enforcement, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to “mobilize” against the United States after Republicans sought to tax remittances to Mexico.

One proposal in the “big, beautiful bill” would tax remittances sent by immigrants to their home country at 3.5 percent. Remittances accounted in 2023 for roughly 7.5 percent “of global remittance flows,” according to the Center for Strategic & International Studies.

US deploys Marines to Los Angeles as Trump backs arrest of California governor

LOS ANGELES/WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) – The U.S. military will temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles until more National Guard troops can arrive, marking another escalation in President Donald Trump’s response to street protests over his aggressive immigration policies.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a battalion would be sent on temporary duty until more National Guard troops could reach the scene. For now, the Trump administration was not invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement.

Restoring Law & Order is “Escalation”.

Mexico Provides Legal Aid to Illegal Migrants Arrested by ICE in L.A.

Mexico’s president is providing legal aid to the Mexican illegal migrants in Los Angeles who were recently arrested by ICE workplace operations.

The aid for detained illegal Mexican migrants is being provided via Mexico’s little-known network of consulates in many American cities. So far, there are no reports that Mexico is aiding any Mexicans arrested for rioting.

‘The US was our El Dorado’: Africans on Trump’s travel bans and taxes

When Essi Farida Geraldo, a Lomé-based architect, heard about partial restrictions on travel to the US from Togo as part of the travel bans announced by Donald Trump on Thursday, she lamented losing access to what many young Togolese consider to be a land of better opportunities.

“The United States was the Togolese’s El Dorado,” Geraldo said. “Many people go to work in the US to save money and support their families or projects in Africa … This will force the country to really develop stronger partnerships that exclude the US.”

Trump’s order, which is to come into effect on Monday, prohibits people from seven African countries – Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Somalia and Sudan – from entering the US, making Africa the worst-affected continent. People from another three African countries – Burundi, Sierra Leone and Togo – will be subject to partial restrictions, meaning they will not be able to travel to the US on certain visas.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia returns to the US — but not the way his supporters wanted

MS 13 Gang Member Kilmar Garcia

For two months, Democrats have agitated on behalf of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant, alleged gang member, and suspected human trafficker whom the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Picked up by police in Maryland in 2019, Abrego Garcia was given a deportation order on the basis of his unlawful presence in the United States and gang activity. But the immigration judge specifically ordered that Abrego Garcia not be deported to his home country of El Salvador, where Abrego Garcia claimed he would be in danger.

You Won’t Believe What the Media Is Saying About the Anti-ICE Riots

Hell is not a donut shop.

Okay, you probably will. In fact, I am sure you expected it.

By now you’ve seen footage of the anti-ICE rioting and violence going on in Los Angeles. But here’s some select footage anyway:

Despite the obvious violence and destruction, the media is once again taking a page out of the 2020 BLM riots playbook, and insisting that everything is peaceful.


‘Never use violence’: Camp Pendleton Marines could be deployed to LA protests as governor continues to push back
