Several actions taken by local law enforcement since the start of the Los Angeles protests on June 6 have escalated criminal behavior and did not protect federal agents, according to former Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
“Unfortunately, the [Los Angeles Police Department] and the sheriff’s department did not come to the aid of the [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents when they were being blocked and under attack,” Villanueva told EpochTV’s “California Insider” on June 10. “That is a sad chapter in the history of Los Angeles. That has never happened before.”
