Los Angeles burns for the fifth straight day as violent mobs attack federal authorities and destroy local businesses. President Trump’s decision to deploy 700 Marines and thousands of National Guard troops shows strong leadership in a city where radical activists have hijacked legitimate concerns about immigration enforcement. While left-wing politicians lecture about “peaceful protest,” hardworking Angelenos watch their neighborhoods turn into battlegrounds.
The chaos started when far-left agitators spread lies about ICE agents detaining a pregnant citizen. Fact-checkers confirm the woman was released quickly, but the damage was done. Violent protesters blocked freeways, threw rocks at law enforcement, and looted stores. Over 100 arrests haven’t stopped the madness – now the FBI is hunting a Paramount man who injured an officer during the riots.
California’s Democratic leaders should be ashamed. Instead of supporting our brave troops and police, Governor Newsom wasted taxpayer money suing President Trump for defending federal property. While Marines secure government buildings, downtown businesses board up windows as Antifa-style mobs roam freely. This isn’t protest – it’s domestic terrorism dressed in activist clothing.
Pastor Jeremy Johnson of Fearless Church spoke truth to power today. “These rioters don’t represent our community,” he said. “Real change comes through prayer and dialogue, not burning your own city.” His courageous stance contrasts with weak local officials who enable chaos by demonizing ICE agents doing their jobs.
The human cost keeps mounting. A pregnant mother hospitalized after leftist misinformation put her in danger. Small business owners – many immigrants themselves – lost everything when looters smashed their shops. Meanwhile, elite liberals in Beverly Hills sip lattes while ordinary Americans clean up their wrecked neighborhoods.
President Trump’s deployment of 1,700 National Guard troops and 700 Marines brings hope to law-abiding citizens. Our military should never have to police American streets, but radical Democrats left him no choice. The $134 million price tag is steep, but freedom isn’t free – and neither is public safety.
California’s lawsuit against federal authority proves Democrats care more about open borders than safe streets. While they coddle criminals, President Trump protects our communities. The same coastal elites crying about “fascism” happily let violent mobs attack federal agents just doing their constitutional duty.
This crisis shows why America needs strong borders and stronger leadership. Lawless cities breed chaos, while patriotic Americans demand order. The silent majority stands with our troops, our police, and our President against the anarchists tearing our country apart.
