Thousands Riot, Attack Federal Agents, LA National Guard Federalized

Over the weekend, Los Angeles experienced violent riots targeting federal law enforcement officers from ICE and Customs and Border Protection, with protesters assaulting officers and setting fires. The unrest has escalated to the point where the LAPD admits losing control, prompting President Trump to federalize the National Guard to restore order. Amid the chaos, foreign flags were waved and the American flag was burned, a detail largely ignored by much of the leftist media. Local officials, including California's Governor and Los Angeles' Mayor, blamed President Trump for the violence, while some media downplayed the severity of the riots, describing them as "mostly peaceful." During the protests, 9News Australia's U.S. correspondent Lauren Tomasi was shot with a rubber bullet by an LAPD officer while reporting live, raising concerns about press freedom and police conduct. The situation highlights a deep divide between state and federal responses to law enforcement and immigration enforcement in California.
