White House Press Secretary Delivers Fiery Address Amid California Unrest
In a dramatic press briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt launched a pointed critique of the Democratic Party, accusing it of fueling insurrection in California to shield illegal alien offenders from justice.
Leavitt’s initial remarks were a flurry of accusations aimed squarely at what she termed âleftwing radicals waving foreign flags,â including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who she blamed for the violent upheaval gripping the state. With a visual backdrop of graffiti-strewn cityscapes, she asserted that these Democrats were complicit in the chaos driven by paid insurrectionists.
previously reported that in response to the turmoil, President Trump has dispatched the National Guard and 700 Marines to restore order in California, a move that has sparked legal pushback from Newsom and Bass, who have filed a lawsuit against the President’s deployment of federal troops.
Leavitt took aim at the statements made by Bass and Newsom, criticizing them for leveraging a violent mob against their own constituents to obstruct immigration law enforcement. âThatâs how radical Democrats have become,â she declared, pointing out that their opposition to Trump has led them to align with illegal alien criminals and rioters rather than support law enforcement officers fulfilling their duties.
She went on to present mugshots of recently apprehended illegal aliens in Los Angeles, notably highlighting one Mexican national accused of hurling a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement, now facing attempted murder charges.
Leavitt disclosed that over 300 illegal aliens have been arrested in connection with the anti-ICE riots, sending a stern warning to âleftwing radicalsâ across the nation contemplating similar violent demonstrations. She emphasized that the Presidentâs commitment to safeguarding Americans and deporting criminal illegal aliens would only grow stronger.
This weekend, radical leftists and illegal aliens nationwide are reportedly mobilizing for widespread protests aimed at hindering the governmentâs enforcement of immigration laws. These so-called âNo Kingsâ demonstrations are purportedly orchestrated by extremist groups, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Early indications suggest that similar riots have already erupted across various cities.

Leavitt’s remarks painted a stark picture of the escalating violence in Los Angeles, where she accused leftwing radicals of viciously attacking ICE and Border Patrol agents, alongside local police. These confrontations included rock-throwing, vehicle arson, and even the lobbing of Molotov cocktailsâall purportedly in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to remove violent criminal illegal aliens from the city.
âThese attacks were not merely assaults on law enforcement; they were strikes against American culture and society,â she stated, noting the riotersâ anti-American slogans and the burning of flags. Leavitt emphasized that President Trump is resolute in preventing mob rule from taking hold in America, insisting that the primary duty of government is to uphold law and order.
According to Leavitt, Newsom and Bass have failed their constituents by neglecting to protect law-abiding Californians from rioting individuals. The President’s deployment of federal forces, she argued, is a necessary step in quelling the chaos and restoring public safety.
Reflecting on the situation, she described how Mayor Bass, in her outrage over initial immigration enforcement actions, launched a campaign of misinformation, blaming the violence on Trump and law enforcement rather than addressing the rioters’ actions. Similarly, Newsom’s claims of chaos resulting from federal enforcement efforts were depicted as an example of how far Democrats have strayed from their responsibilities.
Leavitt concluded with a stark warning for any others considering similar unrest: their efforts will not succeed. The administrationâs commitment to ensure that law-abiding citizens can live free from the threats posed by violent illegal aliens remains unyielding. âAs President Trump has stated, order will be maintained, and illegal aliens will be expelled from our country,â she affirmed.
