He said the violence being conducted by demonstrators “isn’t spontaneous.”
Senator Josh Hawley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime & Terrorism, announced that he has launched an investigation into potential terrorism behind protests against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) kidnapping immigrants in Los Angeles.
“This violence isn’t spontaneous. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime & Terrorism, I’m launching an investigation to find out,” Senator Hawley wrote on social media.
“While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions,” the senator from Missouri stated. “They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable. It must end.”
As ICE officers continue to execute judicial warrants against illegal aliens with connections to cartels and criminal activities, demonstrators in Los Angeles, and now dozens of other cities, have launched days-long riots against law enforcement, obstructing legal ICE operations.
Violence against police has included throwing water bottles and bricks, defacing police vehicles, burning cars, shooting off commercial-grade fireworks, spitting on law enforcement personnel, and looting stores and businesses. President Trump’s administration has responded to the violence, mobilizing California’s National Guard without the approval of the state’s governor and listing the dangerous criminal aliens who have been arrested.
FBI Director Kash Patel also announced that his bureau is conducting its own investigation into the entities funding the riots.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Senator Hawley to be led by the Lord as he oversees the investigation into who organized and funded the riots.
- For Director Patel as he heads the FBI’s investigation into those supporting and providing resources to rioters.
- For the safety of law enforcement, military personnel, and residents as the demonstrations continue.
