Tick Tock!

To anyone who thought this was going to be the Trump Administration 1.0 or the Summer of Love 2020 replayed, think again!

The rules have changed and now we’re fighting back (peacefully and patriotically, of course).

We’re not here to negotiate with criminals. Break the law, attack our agents — you will be arrested, prosecuted, and held accountable. No exceptions.

Here’s a quick summary of all that’s currently in play, which is called Operation Guardian Angel:

Summary of LA Anti-ICE Riots and Operation Guardian Angel (June 2025)

Operation Guardian Angel Launched: The FBI and IRS have initiated a joint investigation, named Operation Guardian Angel, to trace and expose financial backers behind the violent LA riots that began June 6, 2025. The operation was announced by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli and is supported by FBI Assistant Director Akil Davis and IRS Special Agent Tyler Hatcher.

Focus on Funding Networks: Authorities are analyzing money flows linked to rioters, nonprofits, and activist groups suspected of bankrolling violence, destruction of property, and attacks on law enforcement. Offenders may face serious penalties including fines and prison time.

Riots Triggered by ICE Raids: The unrest followed ICE raids targeting illegal immigrants, particularly at workplaces. Demonstrations escalated quickly into riots involving fires, street blockades, fireworks launched at officers, and Molotov cocktails.

National Guard and Marines Deployed: President Trump responded by sending 2,000 National Guard troops and later an additional 700 Marines to restore order. California Governor Gavin Newsom contested this, calling it federal overreach.

Legal Battle Over Troop Deployment: California sued the Trump administration. A federal judge initially sided with the state, but an appeals court stayed the ruling, allowing federal troops to remain deployed during ongoing litigation.

Major Arrests and Charges:

William Rubio: Charged with assaulting police and using a destructive device (fireworks).

Alejandro Orellana: Accused of conspiracy and abetting civil disorder; found with riot gear and anti-police notes.

Adam Palermo: Charged with attempted arson; posted online about being “proud” of the destruction.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez: An illegal immigrant from Mexico charged with attempted murder for throwing a Molotov cocktail at officers.

Mass Arrests and Damage: Over 575 people have been arrested. The riots have caused an estimated $20 millionin damages. Charges range from resisting arrest to attempted murder and looting.

IRS Tracing Financial Sources: Federal agents are scrutinizing nonprofits and donor networks possibly linked to the riots. Essayli warned, “Funding crime doesn’t just affect the criminals. It disrupts entire communities.”

Public Reaction & Speculation: The investigation has ignited online debate, including unverified claims involving figures like George Soros. Officials have not confirmed any such ties. Some applaud the investigation as restoring law and order; others see it as political targeting.

Tensions Between Federal and State Authorities: U.S. Attorney Essayli has bypassed local sanctuary laws by issuing federal warrants, pressuring local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE, adding to California’s legal and political pushback.

Fox News confirms these details:

An investigation is underway into who is funding anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots disrupting Los Angeles and other major U.S. cities after a major company revealed it had received requests for help.

Crowds on Demand, a California-based company that specializes in providing on-demand crowds for protests, told Fox News Digital it received “numerous high budget requests” to get involved with the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and other cities but declined to participate.

A company spokesperson said it declined to get involved in what is happening in Los Angeles because it did “not want to get close to any form of illegal activity, including violence, vandalism or blocking off roads without a permit.”

“We receive inquiries regarding practically every major social cause imaginable, and the anti-ICE demonstrations are no exception,” the company said. “The fact that we receive requests does not mean we take them, in many cases, because the budget does not match the ambition.”

The company added it only takes on “impactful commonsense causes both for liberals and conservatives, but always represent(s) the commonsense position.”

“Even organizing peaceful demonstrators around this issue (anti-ICE) could put those demonstrators at risk due to the presence of violent agitators and the difficulty for law enforcement in distinguishing between peaceful and violent activists,” the company said.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said anyone found to be abusing the law will be held accountable.

“We’re not here to negotiate with criminals. Break the law, attack our agents — you will be arrested, prosecuted, and held accountable. No exceptions,” the agency vowed in a statement on X.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., the chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, shared that the committee is sending letters to multiple organizations believed to be behind the funding.

One of the organizations called into questioning by Hawley and Republican California Rep. Kevin Kiley is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, or CHIRLA, an advocacy group believed to be at the center of the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.

“Who is funding the LA riots? This violence isn’t spontaneous. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime & Terrorism, I’m launching an investigation to find out,” Hawley posted in a statement on X.

Who is funding the riots?

I don’t know for sure, but I might suggest you start by looking for any ties to the Soros Foundation?  Just a wild idea, I could be way off….
