From Fox News: Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office downplayed the riots gripping Los Angeles, likening them to sports celebrations that notoriously break out in Philadelphia after an Eagles’ victory.
“LA riots? Have these geniuses ever seen what happens when the Eagles win a playoff game?” Izzy Gardon, Newsom’s communications director, told Fox News Digital on Sunday morning.
Philadelphia notoriously sees sports revelers flood the city after beloved teams such as the Eagles or Phillies win championships, sometimes setting cars ablaze and causing property damage. The city even greases city light poles to dissuade partiers from scaling them and deploys additional police to the streets while often wearing riot gear.
On Friday, Newsom said in a statement that the immigration raids are “reckless.”
“Continued chaotic federal sweeps, across California, to meet an arbitrary arrest quota are as reckless as they are cruel. Donald Trump’s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America’s economy,” Newsom said.
But the Trump administration said it is the protesters who are wreaking havoc, and that California’s leadership is failing to do its job.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday, “In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.”

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded to the violence in LA, writing in a statement.
“The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it to end,” McLaughlin said.
“The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens.…” she continued. “From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale. This violence against ICE must end.”
