Trump vows federal crackdown on ‘migrant riots’ in Los Angeles

ISTANBUL

US President Donald Trump called Sunday for a sweeping federal response to what he described as an “invasion” of undocumented immigrants and “migrant riots” in Los Angeles, directing key administration officials to restore order and remove those he labeled as “illegal aliens and criminals.”

Trump said on his Truth Social account that the city had been “invaded and occupied,” accusing violent mobs of attacking federal agents carrying out deportation operations.

“These lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” he said.

Trump said he has directed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi to coordinate with relevant agencies to “liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion.”

“Order will be restored, the illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free,” he said.

Immigration authorities and protesters clashed for a third day in the Los Angeles area following unrest that began Friday after dozens of people were detained by immigration agents at various locations.

The arrests occurred as part of Trump’s intensified immigration crackdown, which has included widespread raids and deportations nationwide.

Law enforcement officers in riot gear have used tear gas and flashbangs to break up crowds in downtown Los Angeles and the city of Paramount, with officials reporting multiple arrests.
