The Trump Administration has been clear since day one — what is happening in LA is neither “peaceful”, nor a mere “protest”.
Multitudes of foreigners, on American soil, are waving foreign flags — all while burning federal property, attacking federal agents, and setting fires all across an American city.
That is nothing short of an insurrection. (And the CORRECT use of the term!)
But as usual, the media has worked hand-in-hand with Democrats in a desperate effort to control the narrative.
To do otherwise would be to DEFEAT their own cognitive dissonance… and ADMIT that President Trump has been right about immigration ALL ALONG!
So instead, they are painting a picture of a situation caused solely and singlehandedly by President Trump and his immigration policy.
It’s TRUMP’S fault, once again — because it couldn’t possibly be the fault of the people ACTUALLY CARRYING OUT THE VIOLENCE.
I’m tempted to start calling this “black guns 2.0”, or “entitlement 2.0”, or… maybe just write a book entitled: “Democratic Leadership: The Saga Continues”.
And the LAPD has played their part… until they couldn’t.
They WERE singing the song given to them by Gov. Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, proclaiming that the PEACEFUL PROTESTS had concluded:
Here’s the full text of the LAPD’s ORIGINAL version of what was happening:
Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful, and we commend all those who exercised their First Amendment rights responsibly. The Los Angeles Police Department appreciates the cooperation of organizers, participants, and community partners who helped ensure public safety throughout the day.
While today’s events concluded without incident, the Los Angeles Police Department remains fully prepared to respond swiftly and appropriately to any potentials acts of civil unrest. Our commitment to safeguarding the rights, safety, and well-being of all Angelinos continues – day and night.
We will maintain a heightened readiness posture and remain ready to ensure the continued safety of our communities. (Emphasis added.)

The LAPD was literally trying to claim that this was one of those fabled “mostly peaceful protests”!
And then, reality set in:
An
UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY
has been declared by the Incident Commander
![]()
All persons who remain in the area of Alameda between Aliso and Temple will be subject to arrest.
You must leave south bound on Alameda and out of the area.
You have 5 minutes to comply

Here’s a little video from that “mostly peaceful protest” that changed the LAPD’s mind, ultimately vindicating President Trump’s description of the situation:
Los Angeles is a war zone.

Does this look like the response to a “mostly peaceful protest”?
Nope — this is how you handle an “unlawful assembly”, or as the Trump Administration has put it, an “insurrection”:
Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse. pic.twitter.com/DYN5NnuXjn

It’s one thing for Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass to sit in their comfy offices and pretend everything is just fine.
It’s another thing for the LAPD to fake that narrative, when they become targets.
Check out this video of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department virtually going to war against those “mostly peaceful protesters”:
BREAKING: LAPD Central Division has declared an unlawful assembly in downtown Los Angeles. All individuals are ordered to leave the area immediately as police move in to regain control.

Judging from the brevity of the mainstream’s reporting on that change of heart, the media isn’t too thrilled about the admission.
Here’s the 3-line coverage of LAPD’s new orders to disperse after re-classifying the violence as an “unlawful assembly”, according to the local ABC affiliate out of Los Angeles:
The Los Angeles Police Department declared the protest in downtown L.A. an unlawful assembly.
“All persons who remain in the area of Alameda between Aliso and Temple will be subject to arrest. You must leave south bound on Alameda and out of the area.”
Video from AIR7 showed authorities attempting to disperse the crowd with what appeared to be tear gas.
One might get the impression that ABC out of Los Angeles was a tad bit reluctant to report that story.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t the least bit reluctant.
She hammered Gavin Newsom for his own hesitancy, responding to him directly via her X account:
Gavin Newsom did nothing as violent riots erupted in Los Angeles for days.
Federal law enforcement officers were attacked by violent radicals and illegal criminals waving foreign flags because Governor Newsom was too weak to protect the city.
The Los Angeles Police Chief has… https://t.co/kuoBOs4rUJ

Here’s the full text of her fiery post:
Gavin Newsom did nothing as violent riots erupted in Los Angeles for days.
ADVERTISEMENTFederal law enforcement officers were attacked by violent radicals and illegal criminals waving foreign flags because Governor Newsom was too weak to protect the city.
The Los Angeles Police Chief has even said the riots were getting out of hand. President Trump has stepped in to maintain law and order and protect federal buildings.
She also replied directly to LA Mayor Karen Bass.
And she made it very simple; since Newsom and Bass are refusing to deal with the problem, President Trump will:
Newsflash, Karen:
There are immigration raids happening because Joe Biden allowed illegal alien criminals into Los Angeles, and you have dangerous sanctuary city policies that protect them.
Since you and Governor Newsom refuse to maintain law and order — President Trump will. https://t.co/snPKpLzp41— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 9, 2025
She also used the opportunity to highlight the “Big Beautiful Bill”, and the impact it would have on situations like the violence in Los Angeles — a direct result of Biden’s open-border policy:
The riots in Los Angeles prove that we desperately need more immigration enforcement personnel and resources.
America must reverse the invasion unleashed by Joe Biden of millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country.
That’s why President Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill… pic.twitter.com/8VoZHPqYgC

Here’s the full text of that post:
The riots in Los Angeles prove that we desperately need more immigration enforcement personnel and resources.
America must reverse the invasion unleashed by Joe Biden of millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country.
That’s why President Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill funds at least one million annual removals and hires 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
After the LAPD’s ‘unlawful assembly” declaration, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also went after Newsom for allowing this situation to get so bad.
Not only did she blame him for helping to create the situation, but also for standing by rather than responding in a timely way once things escalated, as reported by Newsweek:
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Central Division has declared an “unlawful assembly” on Sunday afternoon during protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in downtown LA.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem directly blamed California Governor Gavin Newsom for the federal government’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to assist with violent clashes between police and immigration protesters in Los Angeles.
Noem criticized Newsom’s handling of the situation during an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation, arguing that proper state-level response could have prevented the escalation. She emphasized that the 2,000 National Guard soldiers are specifically trained for crowd control situations and will provide security around federal buildings while supporting both peaceful protesters and law enforcement officers.
The federal intervention represents a sharp disagreement between state and federal authorities over jurisdiction and necessity. Newsom has maintained that local authorities are capable of handling the situation and accused Trump of deliberately inflaming tensions through the deployment.
It really shouldn’t come as any surprise that the LAPD failed to buck either Newsom or Bass’ failure to respond.
In case you missed it, here’s the LAPD Chief bluntly giving his take on illegals in Los Angeles last year, as he stepped in to the Chief role:

Did you catch the beginning of his statement, when he detailed WHO LAPD would protect under his leadership?
“The immigrant community” — that is his focus; not Americans, and not America.
No wonder the LAPD tried so long to pretend things were “mostly peaceful”! The leadership of the LAPD is just as IDEOLOGICALLY DOGMATIC along the same ANTI-BORDER lines as the Democratic Party!
And the beat goes on.
There is little doubt that President Trump will be required to increase the response in order to take up the slack.
And those responsible and culpable will continue to gaslight the American people for political purposes, blaming the one who is actually trying to fix the problem.
