Gasp! The Legacy Media Didn't Tell the Truth About the Cause of the LA Riots

On Monday, Border Czar Tom "The Hammer" Homan appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" (Why? Why?) and amazed us with the fact that the legacy media isn't telling the truth about the event that triggered the ongoing insurrection in the Los Angeles area. In fact, much of the legacy media left out an important point.

The legacy media, lying by omission - who didn't see that coming?

During an appearance on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe," Homan slammed the media for not reporting the real reasons that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement were conducting investigations in the Fashion District of L.A. He said the law enforcement agency was executing warrants on specific criminal activity and noted that the news ignored that, choosing to characterize the actions as wide-ranging immigration raids that were "separating families."
"The facts never got out. Even though we put the facts out, the media didn’t cover it. They just said ‘immigration raids,’ and we’re separating families and all the negative information we hear all the time," Homan told "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire.

Property damage by now has to be in the millions. Cops have been attacked. The National Guard has been deployed, and now, Marines. Things are getting serious. This is open rebellion against lawfully constituted civil authority, and a declaration of martial law in the city would not be terribly surprising. This insurrection may have happened anyway. In fact, I guess that it probably would have happened anyway; the left has been stirring it up for some time now. But the media hiding relevant facts isn't helping any.

'It's Coming': Dems Hardest Hit After US Attorney Provides Update on ICE Sweeps, Rioter Prosecutions

What happened was that ICE executed specific warrants looking for specific people, and they apprehended 118 bad guys. So, who were these bad guys? Here are some samples. (Warning: some of the charges filed may be disturbing.)

ICE arrested Cuong Chanh Phan, a 49-year-old illegal alien from Vietnam. His criminal history includes a conviction for second degree murder and was sentenced to 15 years to life.
ICE arrested Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a 55-year-old illegal alien from the Philippines. His criminal history includes burglary in Ontario, CA with a sentence of four years in prison, sexual penetration with a foreign object with force and assault with intent to commit rape in Pomona, CA with a sentence of 37 years in prison.
ICE Los Angeles Lionel Sanchez-Laguna, a 55-year-old illegal alien from Mexico. Sanchez-Laguna’s criminal history includes discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling and vehicle in Orange, CA with a sentence of 365 days in jail, battery on spouse or cohabitant in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, willful cruelty to child in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, driving under the influence in Orange, CA with a sentence of ten days in jail, assault with semi-automatic firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison, and personal use of a firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison.
ICE arrested Victor Mendoza-Aguilar, a 32-year-old illegal alien from Mexico. His criminal history includes a conviction for possessing unlawful paraphernalia in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of 112 days jail, possessing controlled substances in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of 16 months in jail, assault with a deadly weapon: not firearm in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of four years in prison; obstructing a public officer in Pasadena, CA with a sentence of 364 days in jail.
ICE arrested Delfino Aguilar-Martinez, a 51-year-old illegal alien from Mexico. Aguilar-Martinez's criminal history includes assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury in Los Angeles, CA with a sentence of 365 days in jail.

These are the people who have Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass weeping crocodile tears. These are the people that Congressional Democrats are trying desperately to keep in the United States. These are the people whose arrest has every useful idiot in the Los Angeles area taking to the streets with Mexican flags and chunks of pavement. These are the people whose arrest has resulted in a no-kidding insurrection on the streets of a major American city. These are the people ICE went out looking for, found, and arrested. The few mentioned above, mind you, are only a few out of 118 total goblins behind bars.

These goblins deserve nothing more than lengthy and unpleasant prison sentences, followed by immediate deportation. That's all. And it is because ICE arrested these evil people that a city is going up in flames.

We really do live in Bizarro-world.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
