LA Riots 2025: National Guard Backs ICE Raids
By JV Charles, Senior Editor at JV Political | June 8, 2025
Los Angeles is a battleground. Protests against ICE’s aggressive raids have erupted into riots, with lawlessness threatening to tear the city apart. President Donald J. Trump, our champion of order, responded with decisive action: 2,000 National Guard troops deployed to protect ICE agents and restore peace. At JV Political, we’re here to cut through the liberal noise and deliver the raw truth from a proud MAGA perspective. Let’s dive into what’s happening and why Trump’s leadership is saving America.
Key Takeaways
- Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to LA on June 7, 2025, to curb riots and support ICE’s deportation operations.
- Rioters in Paramount and downtown LA attacked federal agents with rocks, met with tear gas and pepper balls in response.
- Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass criticize the raids, but their sanctuary policies fueled the chaos.
- Trump’s actions deliver on his 2024 promise to crack down on illegal immigration and protect American communities.
Chaos Ignites: ICE Raids Shake LA
It all started June 6, 2025. ICE agents stormed Los Angeles, targeting undocumented immigrants in the Fashion District and other hotspots. The ACLU of Southern California says hundreds, including children, were detained at the Edward Roybal Federal Building. These raids, part of Trump’s vow to deport illegals en masse, hit hard, especially in Latino-heavy Paramount. The community didn’t take it lying down.
By Friday night, protests outside a federal detention center turned violent. Crowds shouting “Free them all!” started throwing rocks and cement at Border Patrol agents. ICE hit back with tear gas, flash-bangs, and pepper balls. X posts show the madness—rioters smashing federal vehicles, pure defiance of the law. This isn’t dissent; it’s destruction.
Trump’s Response: National Guard Takes Charge
President Trump doesn’t flinch. On June 7, he ordered 2,000 California National Guard troops into LA, ignoring Governor Newsom’s whining about “inflammatory” moves. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it best: “President Trump won’t tolerate violent mobs attacking ICE officers.” This is Title 10 in action—Trump’s calling the shots, and the Guard’s enforcing them.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that Marines at Camp Pendleton are on standby if the riots escalate. X users are fired up—@PatriotVanguard posted, “Title 10! Deport and restore order!” The Guard’s already cleared some trouble spots, but LA’s still a tinderbox. Trump’s showing the world he’s serious about law and order.
Why the National Guard?
ICE agents are under attack—literally. Rioters are pelting them with rocks, cement, anything they can hurl. The National Guard’s job is to shield our agents and stop the city from spiraling further into chaos. The White House is promising to prosecute anyone who interferes with deportations. This isn’t about stifling speech; it’s about letting law enforcement do their damn job.
Newsom and Bass: Architects of Anarchy
Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass are crying foul while their city implodes. Bass claims ICE is “sowing terror.” Newsom called Hegseth’s Marine warning “deranged.” Really? What’s deranged is their obsession with sanctuary cities. Bass begged for “peaceful protests,” but rioters kept clashing with cops through Saturday. Their leadership is a joke.
At *JV Political*, we see it clearly: Newsom and Bass invited this mess with years of open-border policies. They’re shocked now, but they built this fire. Trump’s the one putting it out, showing the kind of backbone America’s been craving.
The Real War: Trump’s Immigration Fight
These riots are just the start. Trump’s 2024 campaign promised the biggest deportation operation ever, and he’s making good. LA’s raids are a blueprint for hitting sanctuary cities nationwide. The Department of Homeland Security blasted Bass and other Dems for “anti-ICE rhetoric” that incites violence. While leftists like Angelica Salas wail about “attacks” on communities, MAGA knows illegal immigration burdens our system—schools, hospitals, you name it.
X is electric with reactions. @TrueBlueMAGA shared a video of rioters trashing federal property, writing, “ICE is cleaning up, and the left’s melting down.” @FreedomFury added, “LA’s chaos is on Dems. Trump’s fixing it.” The fight’s on, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
What’s Next for LA?
As of June 8, 2025, Paramount’s calming down, but downtown LA’s still volatile. The National Guard’s holding the line, but years of weak policies won’t vanish overnight. Trump’s team is all in—Tom Homan’s backing the Guard, and Dan Bongino says the FBI’s hunting riot instigators. This is far from over.

What triggered the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles in June 2025?
President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles on June 7, 2025, via a presidential memorandum under Title 10 authority, following two days of protests against ICE raids that began on June 6. The raids, targeting workplaces like a clothing wholesaler in the Fashion District and a Home Depot in Paramount, resulted in 118 arrests, primarily for immigration violations. The White House cited “violent mobs” attacking ICE agents, slashing tires, and defacing federal property as justification, though local officials argue the protests were largely peaceful with isolated incidents.
