Hundreds of far-left agitators brought downtown Los Angeles to a standstill on Tuesday, violently shutting down the Sixth Street Bridge in yet another lawless demonstration against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The rioters, waving signs reading “Eviction Moratorium Now!” and “ICE out of LA!”, blocked all lanes of traffic, disrupting the lives of hardworking citizens while the LAPD—instead of enforcing the law—tweeted directions on where the mob was headed next. This disgraceful capitulation to anarchists is just the latest example of liberal cities enabling chaos while President Donald Trump fights to restore law and order.
The protesters didn’t stop at mere disruption. They erected barricades with caution tape, hung massive banners, and even parked a truck emblazoned with “ICE out of L.A.!”—a blatant attack on federal law enforcement. KABC reported the scene, noting how “AIR7 was above the scene and captured several dozen protesters walking on the bridge, many holding signs and waving flags.”

But while the liberal media downplays the violence, the truth is far uglier. This is the same mob that recently “took over downtown Los Angeles, burned cars, assaulted federal agents, and destroyed property.” Yet, where is the outrage from CNN or MSNBC? Instead, they sanitize the chaos, painting these radicals as “peaceful protesters” while ignoring the real victims: the citizens of Los Angeles.

The LAPD’s cowardly response is a direct result of the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies. Rather than clearing the bridge and arresting the agitators, they facilitated the riot by broadcasting the mob’s movements on social media. This is what happens when liberal leaders prioritize political correctness over public safety. Meanwhile, President Trump has repeatedly called for strong action against these violent uprisings, demanding that cities crack down on anarchist groups before they burn down entire neighborhoods.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer. While the left coddles criminals, President Trump stands with law enforcement and the rule of law. While blue cities descend into chaos, his administration has consistently supported ICE and border security, recognizing that these agencies protect Americans from dangerous criminals and unchecked illegal immigration. The left’s open-borders agenda has turned cities like Los Angeles into war zones, and it’s time for real leadership to take back the streets.
