Anti-ICE rioters launched explosives at a federal building in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.
Violent protests began on Friday after ICE agents conducted multiple raids in downtown Los Angeles on Friday.
The riots continued into Saturday. Protestors started fires, threw projectiles at law enforcement officers and damaged property in response to LA Mayor Karen Bass’s call for action.
Democrat Karen Bass riled up the anti-ICE crowd and fanned the flames.
The rioters launched explosives at a federal detention facility in downtown Los Angeles and then took off.

Protesters escalated the violence Saturday by throwing rocks at ICE and other federal law enforcement vehicles leaving a raid at a Home Depot in the city of Paramount in Los Angeles County. Several windshields were shattered and one agent got hit in the hand, according to photos posted by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin. Protesters also set up a barricade on a roadway and tried to physically block a U.S. Marshal’s Service bus.
Homan spoke about deploying the National Guard in an interview with Fox News Saturday evening:
“This is about enforcing the law and again we’re not going to apologize for doing it. We are stepping up. She (Democrat L.A. Mayor Karen Bass) says they are going to mobilize, well, guess what? We are ahead of the game. We were already mobilizing. We are going to bring National Guard in tonight. We’re going to continue doing our jobs. We are going to push back on these people and enforce the law.”
