The streets of Los Angeles are on fire. But President Donald Trump is not standing by. He sent 2,000 National Guard troops to the city. They arrived on Sunday to help stop the violent anti-ICE riots.

But what did California’s liberal Governor Gavin Newsom do? He complained! Newsom said the troops were just for a “spectacle.” He said there was no “shortage of law enforcement.” Tell that to the people watching their city burn, Governor!

Newsom’s whining couldn’t hide the truth. Los Angeles was turning into a war zone. For three straight days, rioters took over. These weren’t peaceful protests. They set electric, self-driving Waymo cars on fire. They smashed them up. The LAPD had to declare an unlawful assembly. It was pure madness.

And who were these rioters? Many waved Mexican flags. They screamed against deporting illegal immigrants – even criminal ones. Andy Ngo, who watches these groups, said “Far-left and Mexican nationalists” were there. He said they “believe the U.S. cannot have borders.” They are “willing to injure and kill for the cause.” This is an attack on America itself.

Trump Says “Enough!”: Marines Could Be Next

President Trump saw the chaos. He knows weak leaders let this happen. After sending the National Guard, he made it clear that more help is ready. About 500 U.S. Marines are now prepared to deploy to Los Angeles if things don’t calm down.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he was ready to send in the Marines. He called the riots “violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement.” He said they are “designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil.” Hegseth rightly called this a “dangerous invasion” and a “huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.” He warned, “Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated.”

President Trump himself put it bluntly:

From ‘President Trump on Truth Social’:

“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots. Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free.”

Restoring Order Democrats Abandoned

This strong action is what America needs. For too long, liberals have let our cities crumble. They coddled criminals. They opened our borders. Remember the last administration? They let in over 8 million illegal immigrants! Their DHS Secretary even said he opposed deportations. No wonder the bad guys feel so bold.

President Trump is different. He promised to secure the border. He promised to deport criminal illegals. And he’s keeping his promise. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the National Guard is there to “keep peace and allow people to be able to protest but also to keep law and order.” That’s common sense.

When Democrat leaders fail, President Trump steps in. He will not let mobs rule our streets. He will not let foreign flags fly while American laws are broken. He is bringing back strength. He is bringing back sanity.

It’s simple. Democrats wring their hands and watch their cities burn. President Trump takes action. He sends in the Guard. He prepares the Marines. He restores law and order. Thank goodness someone is willing to lead and protect American citizens and our great nation.

Key Takeaways

• President Trump is taking decisive action to restore law and order in riot-torn Los Angeles.
• Liberal Democrat leadership has failed to control urban chaos, prioritizing complaints over citizen safety.
• The LA riots underscore the threat to American sovereignty posed by unchecked illegal immigration.
• Strong federal intervention is necessary when local Democrat-led governments abandon their duty to protect.
