While many of us were celebrating the 4th of July at a barbecue with our family and friends, left-wing rioters hit the streets of Los Angeles — again. The Department of Homeland Security declared an unlawful assembly was declared after protests started getting out of hand. Independent journalist Anthony Cabassa shared this clip from the scene: BREAKING : Los Angeles PD has just arrived and issued a 5 minute to disperse order to all protestors in the area. PD says failure to do so will result in arrests. This has been declared an unlawful assembly by the city of Los Angeles. pic.twitter.com/UuYH1FI8wu — Anthony (@AnthonyCabassa_) July 5, 2025 Protestors started getting violent as the protests went on… A huge group of these rioters clashed with National Guard and federal agents. Nick Sortor shared: BREAKING: An unlawful assembly has been declared in Los Angeles as rioters clash with National Guard and DHS outside the federal building Here we go again… JUST ARREST EVERY FREAKING ONE OF THEM! pic.twitter.com/aKkFMWDMVN — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 5, 2025 Additional U.S. Marines had to be deployed, in full riot gear, to quell the riots. Watch: BREAKING US Marines and federal agents now have Riot Gear and Gas masks on ordering the crowd to disperse in Los Angeles LOCK ALL OF THESE RIOTERS UP pic.twitter.com/r3hxdmIDiQ — MAGA Voice (@MAGAVoice) July 5, 2025 The protests in Los Angeles were part of wider anti-Trump protests organized by left-wing groups happening across the nation today. Here’s a full breakdown: Unlawful assembly declared: During Fourth of July anti-Trump/anti‑ICE protests in downtown L.A., the LAPD publicly declared the gathering an “unlawful assembly”, ordering the crowd to disperse or face arrest. Backdrop of escalating ICE raids and federal troop presence: The protests came amid ongoing ICE deportation operations in early July, which had already prompted the deployment of National Guard troops and active-duty Marines in the city. Context of broader July 4 protests: The L.A. demonstration was part of a national wave of “Free America” and anti-Trump/anti-ICE protests organized by groups like Women’s March, coinciding with Independence Day. Imagine being so infected with TDS that you spend your 4th of July classing with military personnel over the rights of illegal immigrants instead of celebrating our great nation at a patriotic parade or blasting fireworks with loved ones. What a miserable existence.
