'Mostly Peaceful' Riots? ICE Chief Exposes the LA Lie | Todd Lyon


Listen Later

Two months ago, violent riots broke out in America’s second largest city after immigration enforcement officers served legal warrants, signed by a judge, to individuals in this country illegally. 


The rioters, which the media assured you were ‘mostly peaceful,’ laid siege to federal buildings, attacked law enforcement officers, lit cop cars on fire, and looted businesses for days—all while flying the flag of a foreign country. Of course, we’re talking about the Los Angeles riots, so we’ll let you guess what flag they were flying.


These anarchists seemed well organized and well funded. Things got so out of control in Los Angeles, in fact, that the president called in 2,000 national guardsmen and hundreds of Marines.


Yet, somehow, just two months later, the country has completely moved on. But it’s really worth reflecting on the LA riots and what inspired them because if anarchists can destroy city blocks under a foreign flag, you actually don’t have a sovereign country.


Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons comes on "The Signal Sitdown" this week to do just that. Lyons is an Air Force veteran with over 25 years of law enforcement experience, and almost 20 of those years have been with ICE. He knows what he’s talking about when it comes to enforcing federal law.


And for Lyons and the agents under his command, the LA riots were just the tip of the iceberg. Since the Trump administration entered into office, attacks on ICE agents have increased over 800 percent.


“It is the worst I've ever seen in my whole career in law enforcement,” Lyons told The Daily Signal about the attacks on ICE agents. “I get asked a lot of time, ‘what's the one thing that keeps you up at night?’ It's the violence and the attacks on officers, agents, and not only them, but their families.”
