   LAPD took 2 hours to respond while over 1,000 rioters surrounded federal   
   building: DHS   
      
   Federal officials are urging Democrat politicians to tone down "dangerous"   
   rhetoric about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, after   
   violent protests and disorderly demonstrations broke out over the weekend   
   in Los Angeles and New York City.   
      
   Multiple people were detained by immigration agents on Friday as seven   
   locations in Los Angeles were raided.   
      
   In response, violent protests broke out across the county, including an   
   attempted break into the Roybal Federal Building.   
      
   Hours later, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared unlawful   
   assembly and issued a city-wide tactical alert.   
      
   The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement on Saturday   
   noting it took the LAPD two hours to respond to the Roybal building,   
   despite multiple calls.   
      
   "Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement   
   building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires,   
   defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property," according to DHS. "Our   
   ICE enforcement officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against   
   them. Disturbingly, in recent days, ICE officers’ family members have been   
   dox[x]ed and targeted as well."   
      
   Officials said the Los Angeles riots and assaults on ICE agents came after   
   Democrat politicians, including New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries,   
   Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Los Angeles   
   Mayor Karen Bass, "villainized and demonized" ICE law enforcement.   
      
   "The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless   
   rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it   
   to end," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote in a statement. "The   
   men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the   
   lives of American citizens. … From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi   
   gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary   
   politicians is beyond the pale. This violence against ICE must end."   
      
   ICE operations in LA this week resulted in the arrest of 118 illegal   
   immigrants, including five gang members and those with prior criminal   
   histories of drug trafficking, assault, cruelty to children, domestic   
   violence, robbery, and alien smuggling, according to DHS.   
      
   Nationwide, 2,000 illegal immigrants were arrested this week.   
      
   DHS Secretary Kristi Noem took to X Saturday afternoon with a strong to   
   protesters.   
      
   "A message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down," Noem   
   wrote in a post. "@ICEgov will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay   
   a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest   
   extent of the law."   
      
   ICE OFFICIAL PUTS POLITICIANS ON BLAST, DEMANDING THEY 'STOP PUTTING MY   
   PEOPLE IN DANGER'   
      
   ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons described what took place in Los Angeles on   
   Friday as "appalling."   
      
   "As rioters attacked federal ICE and law enforcement officers on the LA   
   streets, Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over law   
   enforcement," Lyons wrote in a statement. "These violent rioters will be   
   held accountable if they harm federal officers, and make no mistake, ICE   
   will continue to enforce our nation's immigration laws and arrest criminal   
   illegal aliens.   
      
   "Sanctuary politicians would do well to remember that impeding our efforts   
   only endangers their communities, law enforcement officers, and the   
   detainees they claim to support."   
      
   LAPD officials did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request   
   for comment.   
      
   On Saturday, tear gas was deployed near Home Depot in Paramount,   
   California, where ICE agents were allegedly conducting a raid.   
      
   The LA County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital its personnel   
   responded to the 6400 Block of Paramount Boulevard at about 11 a.m. local   
   time for a large crowd gathering in the area and blocking traffic.   
      
   "We remind the public to exercise their right to protest peacefully, with   
   respect for the safety of all community members," the agency wrote in a   
   statement to Fox News Digital. "Our primary responsibility is to ensure   
   public safety for all individuals present—both demonstrators, residents,   
   and bystanders—by addressing potential safety concerns while supporting   
   the safe and lawful expression of First Amendment rights."   
      
   U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks announced on X "several" arrests   
   were made for assault on a federal agent.   
      
   "ANY attack on our agents or officers will not be tolerated," Banks wrote   
   in the post. "You will be arrested and federally prosecuted."   
      
   Military helicopters were also spotted responding to the scene.   
      
   In New York, anti-ICE protesters gathered outside the Jacobs Javits   
   Federal Building in Lower Manhattan, reportedly attempting to block a van   
   from leaving the facility.   
      
   The New York City Police Department (NYPD) told Fox News Digital that at   
   around noon Saturday, police responded to a 911 call about a disorderly   
   group in front of the building.   
      
   When officers arrived, they found multiple people sitting in the road,   
   blocking traffic.   
      
   "The demonstrators were instructed verbally numerous times to vacate the   
   roadway, and did not comply," NYPD officials said.   
      
   Five people were taken into custody and issued summons.   
      
   Fox News learned the van was able to get past protesters without incident.   
      
   "Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than   
   150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE’s immigration enforcement   
   operations," DHS wrote in a statement Saturday night. "Thankfully, unlike   
   in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the   
   riots. So far, NYPD has made five arrests. Secretary Noem’s message to   
   rioters is clear: you will not stop us or slow us down. ICE will continue   
   to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer,   
   you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."   
      
   LA County Fire did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request   
   for comment.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
