The Department of Homeland Security is disseminating information regarding over a dozen illegal immigrants believed to be involved in criminal activities within the United States, who were apprehended in Los Angeles starting June 6.
DHS made this information public following an outbreak of violence in Downtown LA over the weekend, which was a reaction to the ICE raids that led to the arrest of “hundreds of illegal aliens by ICE officers and agents,” including “many with a criminal history and prior convictions.”
The agency provided further details about 19 individuals detained by ICE Los Angeles on June 7, who are suspected of crimes ranging from robbery to second-degree murder and rape.
“America’s courageous ICE officers are removing the most dangerous individuals from the streets of LA, while the city’s leaders are working diligently against them,” DHS stated as riots persisted throughout the weekend.
Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County remarked that the agitators “are not protesting” and criticized California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom for failing to take appropriate measures.
“They are attempting to violently influence political matters. This is what it is. This contradicts everything the Constitution represents,” Bianco, a Republican candidate for governor, asserted.
“This is what law enforcement opposes, and it will lead to the collapse of our civilized society. A civilized society must adhere to the rule of law, and there are consequences for violating that social contract. When politicians endorse such behavior,” Bianco proclaimed.
“Governor Newsom should put down his phone, sit in his home behind the comfort of his television and couch, and remain silent because he is only exacerbating this situation. He needs to refrain from interfering with law enforcement. He lacks knowledge about this issue. He knows absolutely nothing about law enforcement, he has a disdain for it, and he has encouraged this behavior,” the sheriff concluded.
According to Fox News, the following are some of the violent criminal illegal aliens apprehended by the Trump administration prior to the outbreak of riots:
