U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intends to deploy tactical units to five Democrat-led areas as anti-ICE riots continue in Los Angeles.
The agency is preparing to send tactical units to New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, and northern Virginia.

From the New York Post:
Previous ICE raids led to distressing scenes in downtown Los Angeles after protests quickly escalated into full-blown riots over the last five days — with Trump deploying the National Guard and US Marines to maintain order.
Newsom condemned Trump’s decisions during an emotional televised address Tuesday night, when he likened the president’s actions to those of an “authoritarian” regime.
ADVERTISEMENT“Donald Trump, without consulting with California’s law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets. Illegally, and for no reason,” the 40th governor of California said.
“This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation … putting our people, our officers, and the National Guard at risk. That’s when the downward spiral began. He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by fanning the flames even harder.”

FOX 5 DC reports:
Hundreds of “No Kings Day” protests are planned across the U.S. on Saturday, June 14, to protest the Trump administration’s policies.
“From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like,” organizers said on the official No Kings website.
The largest of these protests is planned for Philadelphia, one of the cities reportedly being targeted by the ICE SRTs.
“These riots are not going to deter us,” one source involved in planning told FOX reporter Brooke Taylor. “We are here doubling down and enforcement operations are going to happen. If anything, we will be arresting more illegal aliens in these locations.”
