One of the nagging questions about the Los Angeles riots is the source of the money to pay the protesters, the bricks, the fact masks, etc. Well, one Senator seems to have a pretty good idea of what that source is,<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Townhall<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, announced he is launching an investigation into one of the entities that possibly funded the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.<\/strong><\/p>\n The lawmaker posted a letter addressed to the executive director of the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights on social media informing her of the probe.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhile peaceful protest is a cornerstone of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions,\u201d Hawley wrote. \u201cThey have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable. It must end.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The senator further stated that \u201cCredible reporting now suggests that your organization has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged in these disruptive action\u201d and argued that \u201cbankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n The riots kicked off over the past weekend in response to several ICE raids in Los Angeles. Rioters engaged in looting, vandalism, and targeting law enforcement officers. President Donald Trump responded by sending 2,000 National Guard troops to the area, along with Marines, to quell the unrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n California Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s administration has filed a lawsuit<\/a> against the administration, accusing it of trying to militarize the city. He filed an emergency motion on Tuesday to block Trump\u2019s troop deployment. But a federal judge rejected<\/a> the motion.<\/strong><\/p>\n Why would the Governor or California not want the National Guard to help quell the riots? Why would the Mayor of Los Angeles step into the chain of command and delay help for the endangered police and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (<\/span>ICE) agents? There are a lot of questions we need answers for, and I suspect that there are a lot of people who need to be held accountable for their actions,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the nagging questions about the Los Angeles riots is the source of the money to pay the protesters, the bricks, the fact masks, etc. Well, one Senator seems to have a pretty good idea of what that source … Continue reading
