Rioters in Los Angeles protesting against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appear to be defending violent criminal migrants the agency has arrested.
The City of Angels descended into chaos as violent protests erupted against federal authorities. The riots were in response to ICE operations targeting criminal migrants with histories of serious offenses. This has forced President Donald Trump to federalize the California National Guard and send additional troops to the city to quell the unrest.

On Monday, June 9, the Trump White House released criminal records of those detained by ICE. It is framing the arrests as necessary for public safety, noting that some of the violent criminal migrants have been convicted of various crimes.
Among those arrested was Mexican national Eswin Uriel Castro, who was previously deported. Castro has convictions for crimes like for child molestation, armed assault, robbery and domestic violence. Colombian Julian Riveros-Cadavid had previous arrests for domestic battery, child endangerment, assault with a deadly weapon, grand theft and narcotics violations on his record. Nicaraguan Anastacio Enrique Solis-Salinas had convictions for domestic violence and hit and run, alongside a previous arrest for willful cruelty to a child.
Vietnamese gang member Cuong Chanh Phan was convicted of second-degree murder in 1994 for killing two teenagers at a graduation party. Indonesian national Chrissahdah Tooy had convictions for narcotics, driving under the influence, and illegal entry. Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a Filipino, was convicted of rape, assault, burglary and theft.
Ungrateful Democrats tolerate riots against ICE instead of thanking officers
In a separate statement Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the images of six violent criminals arrested in an ICE operation the day before. Those arrested in the June 9 operation include Miguel Angel Palafox-Montes, a twice-deported Mexican national with convictions for grand theft, narcotics violations and identity theft. Russian Dzhakhar Aslambekov, who was apprehended for credit card fraud in government assistance programs, was included in the department's list.
The White House's statement condemned Democratic leaders, including LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, for failing to address the issue. "Democrats should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused – and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists and gangbangers," it read.
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin echoed the sentiment. She questioned why local leaders prioritized shielding violent offenders over protecting citizens. "These rioters … are fighting to keep rapists, murderers and other violent criminals loose on LA streets," McLaughlin said, highlighting the protesters' absurdity.
Historical context underscores the recurring tension between federal immigration enforcement and sanctuary policies. California's long-standing resistance to ICE collaboration has fueled debates over whether such measures protect vulnerable communities or enable recidivism among deported criminals.
The Trump administration's aggressive stance signals a hardening approach, emphasized by its condemnation of rioters defending dangerous individuals who had already been deported multiple times. "Instead of rioting, they should be thanking ICE officers who every single day wake up and make our communities safer," McLaughlin reiterated.
