LA immigration protests live updates: National Guard members begin arriving in Los Angeles

The recent protests in Los Angeles and New York over immigration enforcement have led to multiple arrests, according to the deputy director of the FBI. In a statement, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino emphasized that illegal immigration operations will continue despite any attempts at obstruction through violence.
“We are not intimidated or apprehensive,” Bongino stated in a post on social media. “Anyone using violence to obstruct these operations will be investigated and prosecuted.”
The FBI has already made several arrests in connection with the protests, with plans to bring federal, local, and state charges against those involved. Bongino issued a stern warning to those considering violent actions, stating that it “will not end well” for them.
FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in on the situation, emphasizing that violence against law enforcement will not be tolerated. In a post on social media, Patel made it clear that anyone who attacks a police officer will face consequences, regardless of their background or affiliations.
The Department of Homeland Security echoed these sentiments in a separate post, stating that violent actions against federal law enforcement will be met with full prosecution. The agency emphasized the importance of upholding law and order in the face of such protests.
As tensions continue to rise in both cities, law enforcement agencies are standing firm in their commitment to enforcing immigration laws and maintaining public safety. The message is clear: violence will not be tolerated, and those who choose to engage in it will face the full force of the law.
