President Donald Trump announced on June 8 that he is directing top military officials and prosecutors to “liberate Los Angeles” amid ongoing riots related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting illegal immigration in the city.
“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals,” Trump said in a post on social media platform Truth Social. “Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations—But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve.”
