Joe Concha of the *Washington Examiner* criticizes Democratic leaders, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, for their handling of the situation. He argues that a significant majority of Americans support the deportation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/isnt-this-an-invasion-venezuelan-nationals-carry-foreign-flag-charge-u-s-border-attack-agents\/\" title=\"Isn\u2019t This An Invasion? Venezuelan Nationals Carry Foreign Flag, Charge U.S. Border, Attack Agents\">illegal immigrants involved<\/a> in criminal activities.The Trump management deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the riots, which Trump described as necessary to maintain order. Both Newsom and Bass denied that the National Guard had been deployed as claimed. Concha contends that failure to condemn the violent protests reflects poorly on Democratic leadership, which he believes is out of touch with public sentiment supporting ICE&#8217;s actions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">LA anti-ICE riots are latest instance of Democrats &lsquo;on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jewish-house-democrats-sign-letter-slamming-tucker-carlson-for-promoting-holocaust-denier-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Jewish House Democrats sign letter slamming Tucker Carlson for \u2018promoting\u2019 Holocaust denier - Washington Examiner\">wrong side&#038;rsquo<\/a>;: Joe Concha<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2141864\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner&rsquo;s <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Concha<\/a> was critical of Democratic leadership in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/los-angeles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">California<\/a> and their response to riots being held to oppose U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> raids in the city.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3434771\/homan-national-guard-to-be-deployed-los-angeles-amid-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen into Los Angeles to combat the rioters<\/a>, whom the secretary described as &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >violent mob assaults&#038;rdquo<\/a>; against the deportation of illegal immigrants.
