Bus Records Expose Over 1,000 Out-of-State Activists Bussed into Los Angeles Ahead of ICE Raids, Tied to Democratic Funding
By Jonathan Gregory
Los Angeles, CA — June 9, 2025
Shocking new evidence has emerged revealing that over 1,000 individuals were transported into Los Angeles just days before the violent protests erupted outside an ICE facility in June 2025. Transportation manifests from multiple charter bus companies show that these trips were organized and funded by activist groups with known ties to the Democratic Party. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights
(CHIRLA), a prominent organization that received nearly $34 million in government grants during the Biden administration, coordinated a rally against ICE operations targeting undocumented immigrants, including convicted criminals. While CHIRLA denies involvement in violent demonstrations, riots involving over 1,000 people have erupted, prompting President Trump to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops.
Law enforcement sources have confirmed that several individuals detained or arrested during the ICE riots matched names and identifiers from the bus passenger manifests. Investigators noted that many of those arrested had no fixed addresses in the area and had prior involvement in protest activities in other states. One official stated, “We’re seeing patterns that suggest this wasn’t spontaneous. There are strong indicators of organized mobilization with out-of-state participation facilitated by political groups.”
While Democratic Party spokespeople have not confirmed or denied direct involvement, campaign finance records and leaked internal emails suggest that several affiliated organizations contributed to the transportation effort. Critics argue this amounts to incitement, while supporters claim it reflects the party’s commitment to protest immigration enforcement policies. As investigations continue, the situation has sparked a national debate about the line between protected political expression and orchestrated civil disruption.
Shocking, shocking that the Democrat Party/NGO’s would bus in thugs to cause mayhem and violence. Kinda how the SEIU busses in Teamster “muscle” during strikes at UCSB?
Yep, all organized crime. Need for DOJ to bring RICO charges against these “mostly peaceful activists.”
BTW TJ, did you hear the knuckle head response from Pelosi about rioting thugs being “exuberant?” Ya, just like the psychopath who took a hammer to Paul Pelosi’s head being “exuberant!” Right?
Democrats do know how to be devilish, annoying and distracting when it serves them best. They lie with such ease. That is truly confounding they still do this with such ease in this day of internet recall. Now start your own list of Trump "lies" of similar import.
You misread, TJ . I too am waiting for the final number of federal plants on Jan 6 too, it is just no on the top of my lists to still be salivating for every single day. But thanks for the reminder. Just one of many, many holdover questions still unresolved about the Nancy Pelosi Capitol Police riots on Jan 6. Cui bono remains the only thread that makes sense, until we finally learn more.
Jan 6 Advantage: Nancy Peolosi and the Democrats - bar none. Except with the most delicious irony, Trump came back better and stronger having that forced four year interregnum. The God of Small Favors. Plus the nation was 100% more grateful for Trump's return this time, after the truly awful Biden-Harris years and their covid-covid-covid roads show.
Lies, lies and more lies by our liberal, dishonest press. Take your pick, CNN, MSNBC, KABC, KEYT, Newsfakers, EDHAT, The “Independent” (who ever came up with that bullshit name?)…ALL LIARS.
We’ve all heard it by now: “mostly peaceful protestors,” “Trump the dictator,” ICE is deporting dishwashers,” the lies go on and on.
Ever notice how the left goes from one crisis to another? War in Gaza, ICE deportations, climate change, Transgender rights, homeless rights, January 6th, Taco Man?
The biggest liar? Gavin Newsom, hands down. How can anyone ever believe this sleazy liar? He even lied about having an affair with his campaign manager’s wife while his own wife was pregnant! What a low life liar.
Yes, even our local talking heads have mastered lying to us. Ever notice how KEYT always skirts the issues and seemingly ALWAYS makes the case for the left and rarely if ever gets opposing views? Sure, they go out of their way to cover the lefty establishment’s ass at all cost, no matter what.
Then there’s Newsfakers, Liar-in-Chief, Jerry Roberts. He couldn’t write an honest, balanced, fair assessment of our political mess here in California if his job depended on it…and it does!
So grateful for SB Current for your attempt at telling it as it is, letting the chips fall where they may.
My wife drove down to L.A. early this morning to spend the next few days on her rotation caring for her 96-year-old disabled mother. After her safe arrival, she informed me "Unless you are listening to Fox News, you can't even tell there are any demonstrations in L.A." Reports from my L.A.-based veteran acquaintances indicate that they have not witnessed any violence at the demonstrations they have participated in, just regular people, including grandmothers and parents pushing their children in strollers. Yes, there has been violence and attacks on Peace Officers, but nothing coming anything close to TACO's insurrection of January 6, 2021. Why did TACO pardon those who attacked Peace Officers on January 6th, but condemns similar attacks in L.A.? Because TACO is an instigator and promoter of violence and hatred, that's why. If you have any sympathy for the hardworking immigrants without any criminal record who have lived in our country for many years and are paying taxes, you are an "insurgent" and "paid protestor" participating in "illegal protests"! TACO is diverting our attention from his failing domestic and foreign policies and his grift with this activation of 4,000+ U.S. forces. When L.A. was literally burning a few months ago, TACO was lackluster and condescending in his response to L.A.'s pain and suffering. While you watch extended coverage of the 5 cars burning on Fox News, TACO and his sycophants are trying to push through a budget that cancels Medicade to millions of Americans and gives tax breaks to billionaires. Meanwhile, China is stepping up to fill the vacuum TACO created on the world stage with his short-sighted, isolationist foreign policy, Putin continues his war of invasion and aggression against the people of Ukraine, and Netanyahu continues his genocide against the Christians and Muslims living in the Gaza strip. Have any of you now realized that TACO's tariffs are actually a TAX that you will be paying? Have any of you driven down to L.A. to witness that the city is NOT burning down? Have any of you talked to an undocumented person to ascertain their fear and anxiety as TACO's fascism closes in around us?
Thank you! I don’t think most on this thread are even a tiny bit open to the fact that Trump et al and Fox have been lying to them for years. The conspiracy theories are their addiction. I wonder if anyone fact checks what they hear and read. I have to do it constantly and it provides some sort of foundation for thinking through all the issues. Then…..someone accused Chat GPT of being a liberal brainwashing tool!! The mind twisting is almost psychopathic as is the need to bash Biden and the Democrats. The past is OVER. What is happening is NOT about them. Republicans OWN this disaster.
Elaine, I don't know anyone who watches FOX news. This is a purely Democrat fantasy. Fox is a visual medium so by its very nature, it is a limited news resource. This is not where anyone will get hard news. Just infotainment. Your stereotyping about conservatives based sole on Fox News, does not sound in fact and is quite frankly offensive and unwelcome. What did you really come here to talk about? You seem very invested in this current administration's failure. Why is that? Do you have a more specific and personal interest in this.
I do. I don’t want us to be a fascist country led by an autocratic leader who is destroying our institutions…educational, scientific, governmental (all of which need to be reduced in size and made more efficient) and treating people like they aren’t human. Not to mention he’s a convicted felon, a liar and a hopeless narcissist. Is that enough?
Mayor Bass declaring a curfew last night was only for theatrical effect? In a metropolitan area of 9 million people, you need a geography lesson before you mouth off on "visiting Los Angeles and seeing nothing".
Stop the insults. And for full disclosure, what is your government employee union affiliation, SS?
Unlike the "theatrical effect" of TACO calling up the CANG and sending in the Marines? Geography was my point, just look at a map of L.A. and put a pin in it where there is a demonstration and it will become apparent that the city is NOT "burning down" and the violence is isolated. Not a union member, JL, retired U.S. Army (34 years).
A Warrant Officer in the US military is a highly specialized, technical expert who ranks between enlisted personnel and commissioned officers.
Key Characteristics of Warrant Officers:
Rank and Role:
Warrant Officers hold ranks from Warrant Officer 1 (WO1) to Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CW5).
They are not generalist leaders like commissioned officers (e.g., lieutenants or captains) but are instead subject-matter experts in their field, providing technical expertise, leadership, and guidance.
You lose this round, SS. Federal troops were sent to protect federal officers and buildings. Since local authorities refused, and local police stated they were overwhelmed. You picked the wrong team to cheer for, SS. No one wants Portland, Seattle or Minneapolis again. Why do you? What is your payoff.
George Floyd sparked a summer of mostly peaceful looting and vandalism. I don't know a single person who witnessed police brutality on unarmed minorities yet here we are. Your comments are moronic.
You omitted the beginning of your sentence: "The murder of... George Floyd sparked a summer of mostly peaceful [protests, some of them hijacked by] looting and vandalism."
A fine upstanding criminal who according to autopsy died of drug overdose. A fine role model for the Dems and their children. Your comments are moronic.
Whose death was ruled a homicide. So I'd suspect that was not the finding of his autopsy. I'm kind of surprised Derek Chauvin hasn't been pardoned. So he's in the can for what 20 more years?
SHS: answers to your questions - yes, yes, yes. 1) I expect tariffs to raise prices short term for long term benefits to Americans; 2) I have been in L.A. where specifically the downtown area is dangerous with both residents and business workers in fear of disrupters, nihilists, anarchists, plus statements/ decisions of Mayor Bass; 3) I know and interact regularly with several “undocumented” who unlawfully reside and work here. Each acknowledges their reality to illegally enter was their choice. Their decision to remain their choice, after each calculated the minuscule odds of deportation any time soon, if ever. (There are an estimated 12-15M unlawfully residing in California making deportation a long shot.). The many DACAs I know, brought by parents breaking the law for various reasons, continue to hope for permanency in some form of “statehood”, if not eligibility for full citizenship.
Immigration matters require Congressional action which hasn’t happened since 1965.
Therein lies the real problem. Congress has neglected its duty to regulate immigration for 60 years. Gone are the days when an immigrant could just enter the United States, get a border-crossing or port-of-entry card, find a job, establish a domicile, go to a courthouse, fill out a form, take an oath of citizenship, and immediately register to vote!
Newsom? Did we forget that Trump had affairs during ALL of his marriages, including when Melania was pregnant…or that he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.…or that he was chums with Jeffrey Epstein and that sleezy mob? Not exactly a recommendation for sainthood!!
When I was a little kid, my mom was going to the Vedanta Temple. She would come home with her friends and tell me about it. At that time, Swami Prabhavananda was leading the SoCal Vedanta Temple. He drew a circle of intellectuals who combined their spirituality with philosophy and social comment: Christopher Isherwood, Gerald Heard, Aldous Huxley were among them. I wish this was happening today. To quote Huxley:
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' -- this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
Where are our religious leaders today? Why aren't they doing likewise? Well, too many of them have gone WOKE. And in my book, just as you describe the end of journalism, this has been - for me - a real failure on the part of our spiritual leaders.
Actually, no. If you accept that God created Man and Woman in His image, then you don't need ntersectionality. Woke only gives relative values, not absolute.
While these observation are quite valid, is there a way that being stuck in the two party paradigm limits our thinking? Is this policy of broad ICE action being done to stoke these protests and get martial law in place for Israel to start war with Iran this week? The Trump administration keeps moving the bar for an agreement, demanding what is a known red line likely in order to make a peace agreement impossible like the war hawks want. The arbitrary deadline for that agreement set by Trump is today. Is the attack on universities, the other likely source or protest, meant to silence any large voice of dissent for such grossly unpopular and risky moves on the global stage?
Trump was elected to protect the US into the future. To get the spending down, secure the border and stop the unaffordable and morally unjustifiable wars abroad. Will the people surrounding him who funded his campaign maneuver him into the opposite? The "Big Beautiful Bill" is huge. We are not out of Ukraine yet even though he said it would be over in one phone call. Ukraine just hit Russian bombers that nuclear agreements require be stored in plain sight, further weakening trust in US sincerity about the agreements it is committed to. Trump has been saber rattling with Iran, a country that has been in the sights of the Israel First Neocons for 30 years. Trump took hundreds of millions of dollars from the Israel First crowd.
Now is the time for America First Patriots to stand up and call for the Trump administration to keep its promises. No War on Iran. If we go to war on Iran, it risks a civilization ending level conflict. But don't take my word for it, consider the recent work on this issue of Tucker Carlson, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Steven Mersheimer, Judge Napolitano, Candace Owens and many more patriots who are paying attention. May God help us all.
To everyone here on Santa Barbara Current, and Jim Buckley,
I'm 65 and I've never marched in a protest parade, or attended at political rally, done anything like that in person. But I will be going down to the beach in SB on Saturday, with my American flag to walk among others. Not that it matters. I'll be walking with my flag of the USA of Flag Day.
250th Anniversary of the US Army on display. After Biden destroyed military recruitment. Pride in US military service is back. Darn right this is worth celebrating. 250 years of defending our freedoms and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for thee and me? How would you celebrate the Army's 250th year milestone?
I will be on Cabrillo blvd on Saturday morning waving my American flag in opposition to Trump. And in support of the US Army that was against the KING of England, 250 years ago. Get it??
Good luck convincing anybody of Mr. Seibert's logic. Fortunately, 95% of people seeing him wave Old Glory on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, Flag Day and the Commander-in-Chief's 79th birthday will naturally assume he's standing tall for The Trumpster. Hail to the Chief!
We left the failing Golden state I grew up in and it broke my heart. But you see this $hit happen (and you live in a sane state for a fraction of the cost) and you think jeez. Is it even safe to visit family anymore?! God bless every brave Californian who tries to save the state. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
What journalist is willing to confront Gavin Newsom and ask him what is his position on 12 million illegals flooding the nation and his state at a time when the federal budget deficit is $2 trillion a year and his state is spending $75 billion it doesn't have. Should we let in another 1 million illegals? How 'bout the half-million documented criminals among those 12 million illegals. What would you do with them.
What's your take on "protestors" burning property of a country they want to stay in and waving foreign flags of a country they don't want to return to?
What would you tell a Mexican government that lives on the $63 billion its citizens illegally in the U.S. send back to Mexico, primarily from the safety net welfare benefits which Democrat politicians have showered on them.
What about Mexico's $170 billion trade surplus with the U.S., or the 80,000 Americans who die yearly as a result of drugs imported from China and manufactured for death potency in Mexico by the drug cartels?
Gavin Newsom is under the illusion he has viable national political aspirations.
Right now, the governor couldn't locate his butt with both hands and a flashlight!
I had a short wave receiver radio in the 1960's. Wanting to hear what the Communists were saying I would tune into Moscow, Hanoi, Beijing, and Cuba. What I heard was far different than what was being broadcast in the good old USA.
One quickly understood the Communist slant, particularly out of Hanoi. An Icon of US news was Walter Cronkite. Here was the rub, he almost ALWAYS slanted combat stories in S. Vietnam to portray us as being stupid or having been run over by the NVA or Cong. Being in the Army I had information from on the ground sources "Uncle Walter" was intentionally making sure the truth was a casualty of his reporting.
We now know that he was anti Republican, wanted to hand over 'Nam to the Communists, and reported on the total corruption of the Saigon government. So fast forward to what you have seen and heard with BLM, and the current riots and manufactured outrage(?) on the news.
The Last Gasp started in 1968, life support of honest news soon started there after.
While I would not quite put it this way "...President Donald Trump can be emotionally blackmailed into becoming a potty-trained house Republican...." it is clear dumping of Millions of illegals on the country going back to Obama is taking its toll.
When born and raised Hispanics are angered at looting, display of the Mexican flag during riots, you know the Left has lost. Bass, Newsom and the rest show their lost rhetoric on TV, radio, and when the professional Leftest rioters make them look foolish it is panic time.
Secure borders and deportations was a clear RNC platform issue for 2024. This was never a hidden agenda. it was the primary reason Trump won. Voters knew this up front, and Trump made serious inroads into the alleged "minority" votes (black, hispanic, asian) in support of this very clearly stated RNC agenda platform. America wanted its borders secure and deportation of the open-border invasion Biden had ignored for four years.
Is that what the organized thugs of the Democrat party are violently protesting right now, their loss of their previous stranglehold on the "minority vote"? Their loss of the SEIU-teacher union Blue Wall?
Yes, secure borders. As the author stated, 73% of Americans polled agree rapists, murderers, human traffickers, and gang members should and must be deported.
My question is why ICE thinks they are going to find these people looking for work in a Home Depot parking lot at 8am?
I know. I'm just saying I wish they'd start with the people with known violent backgrounds. I believe what the author wrote that 70 something percent of Americans want those folks (rapists, gang members, etc.) removed. I guess I was hoping the administration would have a solution that wasn't just going to get messier as time goes on. But that might be wishing for something that can't happen.
TJ you’re not alone. Many citizens envisioned, wished for cherry picking of the bad guys first. However, with an estimated 12-16M or perhaps more residing here illegally, and limited resources, DHS/ ICE are acting pragmatically to fulfill Trump’s promise to voters to stop illegal entry and remove those unlawfully here.
Prioritizing first for deportation the bad guys (felons, rapist, murderers, gangsters, traffickers) was met with judicial resistance.
Plan B: Mass deportation with an estimated 1M in Los Angeles a good place to start.
My question: Do we have the will, the resources, to deport??
I think we have the will, the resources, to deport the 'bad guys'. Next would be visa overstays. After that, I think both will and resources might not be as easy to come by.
Why not. Illegals are also engaged in money-laundering back to Mexico. If you are here without legal permission we are coming for you. Messages issued and message received. They turned down multiple offers to self-deport. Why are you carving out "exceptions" by default?
According to RedState, no wonder Santa Barbara also found itself on the Hit Parade by associations: Sang Louangprasert - ICE Los Angeles arrested Sang Louangprasert, a 66-year-old illegal alien from Laos. Louangprasert’s criminal history includes a conviction for lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 in Fresno, CA and inflicting corporal injury, spouse or cohabitant in Santa Barbara, CA.
Quit putting words in people's mouths you don't agree with. A great political ploy, though. I am not carving out any exceptions. I just suspect all the violent types that most people want dealt with aren't very likely to be found wanting to schelp dirt and drywall at 8am at Home Depot.
Describe the process that allows some illegals to claim exceptions and other cannot? Do you have a US passport? Do you have legal permission to reside in the US? Are you a "good person" so we can make an exception for you, since you have no legal permission to reside here? Do you want a jury trial with free counsel to determine if you are a "good person"?
Voters signed on to Trump’s commitment to remove those illegally within our borders. We may not like what’s required for the POTUS to fulfill his promise. However, Trump is delivering on his commitment to voters: the laws of our sovereign nation must be enforced. We are a nation of laws, citizens, and those legally within our borders.
We each have a different lens or expectation of the actual execution of our demands for immigration enforcement. Some citizens dislike the saw off shot gun approach aimed at the 20+M migrants unlawfully here, preferring ICE sharpshooters with specific targets aimed only at the felons, traffickers and gangsters. No matter.
Trump is delivering on his promise to voters to close the border, enforce existing immigration laws, remove those illegally residing and working here. Congress has had decades to change laws.
Anger and complaints need to be directed to Congressional Reps and US Senators.
Let’s hope President Trump and company find ways to deport, export, thwart and diminish the 50 million illegals here now.
Because that many illegals create over 60 new house seats and they’re all going to be Democrat.
It doesn’t matter if they are citizens, if there’s a body in a Democrat city, that means the Democrats get more house members and more federal funds by apportionment which they’re gonna spend to keep their illegals in the cities and in the nation.
I think the cuts to these NGO‘s and the USAID billions that being used by Dem cities to help keep aliens in the country, and spread all this propaganda. Those cuts are going to have a big difference so in the next few years we hopefully will see that suddenly the Democrats have little to no money.. at least not money from the US government taxpayer money. And that should help even things out a little.
TJ: 50M is far off speculation. There’s firm number, only a range of estimates. We must demand a reliable count in The 2030 Census.
Mainstream estimates (Pew, MPI, CMS, DHS) range from 10.9 to 11.7 million for recent years (2021–2023).
CIS - Center for Immigration Studies states 14 million (2024) and FAIR - Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform puts its estimates at 16.8–18 million (2023–2025). If CA had 10M in 2012, the number could be 14-20M nationwide.
A 2018 Yale study suggested 16–29 million, but its methodology was heavily criticized for overstating numbers due to unaccounted circular migration including VISA overstays which make up an estimated 40% of illegals: persons unlawfully here.
TCole; Modifications to the 2030 Census Count must identify citizenship status, dual status, green card holder, student VISA holder, and undocumented. Congress must pass a law that districting will be based on the count of Citizens Only: we have only one country.
The dual citizen matter requires discussion since some countries allow voting despite multiple citizenships. I take issue with split loyalties voting in 2 or more countries. I know neighbors with 4 citizenships.
I question anyone who supports GOP Gov Candidate Steve Hilton, a newcomer, who was acculturated, educated in England, and is a dual. Is California this desperate for candidates with a population of 38M (minus however million non citizens and duals)?
Seems to me Gavin is forgetting to touch up his hair dye these days. Recent photos show his hair going quite silver, as his national political aspirations evaporate.The mask is slipping.
Sadly the Dems in my own family believe anything the media tells them. The Democrats know this. They know they can create whatever reality they want and the Dems will embrace it. Biden is fine. Riots are mostly peaceful. And you can’t convince Dems otherwise. This is the problem. They live in a fantasy reality and anyone who points this out is a Nazi. They are all on meds or should be on meds. We cannot allow the patients to continue running the Asylum.
Promise #2 - Deportation of all violent illegal aliens and eventually all those continuing to reside in the US illegally - per original 1986 President Reagan "amnesty" agreement.
Arizona Star reports:
"Across the entire span of the U.S.-Mexico border, the change is stark - and it happened nearly overnight. Where Border Patrol agents encountered well over 100,000 migrants and asylum seekers just a year ago, they now see fewer than 10,000. More than four months into President Trump's second term, one of his signature campaign promises - shutting down the flow of migrants across the border - seems fulfilled......."
But also stop the needless and unafforbale wars. Is that happening? Ukraine? Is this action being used to give the impression that there will be mass deportations only to distract as a new and much more serious war is entered into to complete Israel's check list of 7 countries that the US should be used to vanquish? Iran is the last one standing. Today is the arbitrary deadline Trump set for the new nuclear agreement with Iran. Trump arbitrarily tore up the previous one. I pray he is able to stand against the demonic forces that want war and do not care at all about what happens to the United States of America. Pray hard and call your representatives to say no war on Iran, end all the wars.
No wars? What was Afghanistan, where Trump negotiated a withdrawal of U.S. forces with the terrorist Taliban insurgents and not with the Afghan government? What was Syria and ISIS? What about Russia's war against Ukraine, where Trump attempted to blackmail Ukraine's government in exchange for arms deliveries?
Trump started no wars in his first term. Bush, Obama and Biden started wars in their terms. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine. All RINO-Democrat sell outs to the military industrial complex.
Trump started no wars. But plenty of Democrat wars ended up on his desk. What would you do to stop the Obama-Biden-Bush wars? Props to Trump for changing the dialogue and suing for peace. Take your "vote" to where they matter. To the military-industrial complex deep state - that is Trump's only war- on the inside war-mongers who your tax dollars keep supporting.
We all have one president now. The election is over. Like Stephen Seimsen says, Trump mainainted the illegal and unprincpled undercutting of Syria for Israel and then shook the hand of an Al Qaeda/ISIS/HTS foreign puppet that is letting Israel take land and destroy the country and massacring Christians and other minorities. Look into these things. There is more than one way to topple a country. Our country is at stake, we don't have time to get distracted with teams. There is right and wrong. There is good for America and bad for America. We should have a foreign policy and economic policy that is good for America and not exploitative and evil towards the people of other lands. No foreign entanglements, live with honor, thrive and respect the sovereignty of other countries. If we do that, I am sure God will protect us.

Shocking, shocking that the Democrat Party/NGO’s would bus in thugs to cause mayhem and violence. Kinda how the SEIU busses in Teamster “muscle” during strikes at UCSB?
Yep, all organized crime. Need for DOJ to bring RICO charges against these “mostly peaceful activists.”
There’s big money behind this! Agreed!
Battle-hardened, bussed in activists from Jan 6?
Still waiting for Patel's 'definitive answer’ on disguised federal operatives on Jan 6.
BTW TJ, did you hear the knuckle head response from Pelosi about rioting thugs being “exuberant?” Ya, just like the psychopath who took a hammer to Paul Pelosi’s head being “exuberant!” Right?
https://www.theblaze.com/news/nancy-pelosi-exuberance-la-rioting
To me good and bad things can be associated with exuberant. But yeah, typically it's not terrible behaviour.
The story of Ray Epps is curious.
Nancy Pelosi re-writing Jan 6 history right now as we speak, is probably distracting him from giving you the same answer we are all waiting for: https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/06/11/steven-sund-response-to-pelosi-n2190322
Democrats do know how to be devilish, annoying and distracting when it serves them best. They lie with such ease. That is truly confounding they still do this with such ease in this day of internet recall. Now start your own list of Trump "lies" of similar import.
Yep. But I'm still waiting for the shoe to drop from Patel that you promised. Well, you wrote like it had already happened..... .
You misread, TJ . I too am waiting for the final number of federal plants on Jan 6 too, it is just no on the top of my lists to still be salivating for every single day. But thanks for the reminder. Just one of many, many holdover questions still unresolved about the Nancy Pelosi Capitol Police riots on Jan 6. Cui bono remains the only thread that makes sense, until we finally learn more.

My wife drove down to L.A. early this morning to spend the next few days on her rotation caring for her 96-year-old disabled mother. After her safe arrival, she informed me "Unless you are listening to Fox News, you can't even tell there are any demonstrations in L.A." Reports from my L.A.-based veteran acquaintances indicate that they have not witnessed any violence at the demonstrations they have participated in, just regular people, including grandmothers and parents pushing their children in strollers. Yes, there has been violence and attacks on Peace Officers, but nothing coming anything close to TACO's insurrection of January 6, 2021. Why did TACO pardon those who attacked Peace Officers on January 6th, but condemns similar attacks in L.A.? Because TACO is an instigator and promoter of violence and hatred, that's why. If you have any sympathy for the hardworking immigrants without any criminal record who have lived in our country for many years and are paying taxes, you are an "insurgent" and "paid protestor" participating in "illegal protests"! TACO is diverting our attention from his failing domestic and foreign policies and his grift with this activation of 4,000+ U.S. forces. When L.A. was literally burning a few months ago, TACO was lackluster and condescending in his response to L.A.'s pain and suffering. While you watch extended coverage of the 5 cars burning on Fox News, TACO and his sycophants are trying to push through a budget that cancels Medicade to millions of Americans and gives tax breaks to billionaires. Meanwhile, China is stepping up to fill the vacuum TACO created on the world stage with his short-sighted, isolationist foreign policy, Putin continues his war of invasion and aggression against the people of Ukraine, and Netanyahu continues his genocide against the Christians and Muslims living in the Gaza strip. Have any of you now realized that TACO's tariffs are actually a TAX that you will be paying? Have any of you driven down to L.A. to witness that the city is NOT burning down? Have any of you talked to an undocumented person to ascertain their fear and anxiety as TACO's fascism closes in around us?
Donald Trump - _the_ best president we ever had except for Geo. Washington, the genius who put this gig together.
Imagine! If we didn't have Trump, the idot Commie-Dems would be in charge!
Thank you! I don’t think most on this thread are even a tiny bit open to the fact that Trump et al and Fox have been lying to them for years. The conspiracy theories are their addiction. I wonder if anyone fact checks what they hear and read. I have to do it constantly and it provides some sort of foundation for thinking through all the issues. Then…..someone accused Chat GPT of being a liberal brainwashing tool!! The mind twisting is almost psychopathic as is the need to bash Biden and the Democrats. The past is OVER. What is happening is NOT about them. Republicans OWN this disaster.
Elaine, I don't know anyone who watches FOX news. This is a purely Democrat fantasy. Fox is a visual medium so by its very nature, it is a limited news resource. This is not where anyone will get hard news. Just infotainment. Your stereotyping about conservatives based sole on Fox News, does not sound in fact and is quite frankly offensive and unwelcome. What did you really come here to talk about? You seem very invested in this current administration's failure. Why is that? Do you have a more specific and personal interest in this.
I do. I don’t want us to be a fascist country led by an autocratic leader who is destroying our institutions…educational, scientific, governmental (all of which need to be reduced in size and made more efficient) and treating people like they aren’t human. Not to mention he’s a convicted felon, a liar and a hopeless narcissist. Is that enough?
Elaine- please dig deeper when you research, study historical legislation, creation of “institutions”, laws and programs.
Sorry Elaine, but I saw them looting the Apple Store on You Tube courtesy of CNN
Mayor Bass declaring a curfew last night was only for theatrical effect? In a metropolitan area of 9 million people, you need a geography lesson before you mouth off on "visiting Los Angeles and seeing nothing".
Stop the insults. And for full disclosure, what is your government employee union affiliation, SS?
Unlike the "theatrical effect" of TACO calling up the CANG and sending in the Marines? Geography was my point, just look at a map of L.A. and put a pin in it where there is a demonstration and it will become apparent that the city is NOT "burning down" and the violence is isolated. Not a union member, JL, retired U.S. Army (34 years).
Just curious, pay grade? MOS?
Warrant Officer; branches served: Infantry, Military Police, Intelligence. How about you?
SP-5, 91 Charlie, Brooke Army Medical Center, 76-80. Worked Surgical ICU, Burn Center.
As I recall, WO’s go by “Mister?”
What is a warrant officer? GROK
A Warrant Officer in the US military is a highly specialized, technical expert who ranks between enlisted personnel and commissioned officers.
Key Characteristics of Warrant Officers:
Rank and Role:
Warrant Officers hold ranks from Warrant Officer 1 (WO1) to Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CW5).
They are not generalist leaders like commissioned officers (e.g., lieutenants or captains) but are instead subject-matter experts in their field, providing technical expertise, leadership, and guidance.
You lose this round, SS. Federal troops were sent to protect federal officers and buildings. Since local authorities refused, and local police stated they were overwhelmed. You picked the wrong team to cheer for, SS. No one wants Portland, Seattle or Minneapolis again. Why do you? What is your payoff.
George Floyd sparked a summer of mostly peaceful looting and vandalism. I don't know a single person who witnessed police brutality on unarmed minorities yet here we are. Your comments are moronic.
You omitted the beginning of your sentence: "The murder of... George Floyd sparked a summer of mostly peaceful [protests, some of them hijacked by] looting and vandalism."
A fine upstanding criminal who according to autopsy died of drug overdose. A fine role model for the Dems and their children. Your comments are moronic.
Whose death was ruled a homicide. So I'd suspect that was not the finding of his autopsy. I'm kind of surprised Derek Chauvin hasn't been pardoned. So he's in the can for what 20 more years?
Smoke another bowl, Bruh. Wake and bake?
So goofy…reminds me of your favorite president’s oft used line, ‘come on man’?
not a riot, ‘the city is not burning down’…come on man, move along, nothing to see here…

SHS: answers to your questions - yes, yes, yes. 1) I expect tariffs to raise prices short term for long term benefits to Americans; 2) I have been in L.A. where specifically the downtown area is dangerous with both residents and business workers in fear of disrupters, nihilists, anarchists, plus statements/ decisions of Mayor Bass; 3) I know and interact regularly with several “undocumented” who unlawfully reside and work here. Each acknowledges their reality to illegally enter was their choice. Their decision to remain their choice, after each calculated the minuscule odds of deportation any time soon, if ever. (There are an estimated 12-15M unlawfully residing in California making deportation a long shot.). The many DACAs I know, brought by parents breaking the law for various reasons, continue to hope for permanency in some form of “statehood”, if not eligibility for full citizenship.
Immigration matters require Congressional action which hasn’t happened since 1965.
Therein lies the real problem. Congress has neglected its duty to regulate immigration for 60 years. Gone are the days when an immigrant could just enter the United States, get a border-crossing or port-of-entry card, find a job, establish a domicile, go to a courthouse, fill out a form, take an oath of citizenship, and immediately register to vote!
Newsom? Did we forget that Trump had affairs during ALL of his marriages, including when Melania was pregnant…or that he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.…or that he was chums with Jeffrey Epstein and that sleezy mob? Not exactly a recommendation for sainthood!!
Ya, well we all know about Bubba Clinton, the blue dress and what he used as a humidor. So get over it already, men are pigs!
When I was a little kid, my mom was going to the Vedanta Temple. She would come home with her friends and tell me about it. At that time, Swami Prabhavananda was leading the SoCal Vedanta Temple. He drew a circle of intellectuals who combined their spirituality with philosophy and social comment: Christopher Isherwood, Gerald Heard, Aldous Huxley were among them. I wish this was happening today. To quote Huxley:
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' -- this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
Where are our religious leaders today? Why aren't they doing likewise? Well, too many of them have gone WOKE. And in my book, just as you describe the end of journalism, this has been - for me - a real failure on the part of our spiritual leaders.
So you’re saying Jesus would have supported Medicare fraud. Hmm. 🤔
Yes, and the WOKEST one of them all was Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
Actually, no. If you accept that God created Man and Woman in His image, then you don't need ntersectionality. Woke only gives relative values, not absolute.
The democrats are saying watching cars burn is fine even though California Penal Code 451 provides that willful or malicious arson is a felony.
While these observation are quite valid, is there a way that being stuck in the two party paradigm limits our thinking? Is this policy of broad ICE action being done to stoke these protests and get martial law in place for Israel to start war with Iran this week? The Trump administration keeps moving the bar for an agreement, demanding what is a known red line likely in order to make a peace agreement impossible like the war hawks want. The arbitrary deadline for that agreement set by Trump is today. Is the attack on universities, the other likely source or protest, meant to silence any large voice of dissent for such grossly unpopular and risky moves on the global stage?
Trump was elected to protect the US into the future. To get the spending down, secure the border and stop the unaffordable and morally unjustifiable wars abroad. Will the people surrounding him who funded his campaign maneuver him into the opposite? The "Big Beautiful Bill" is huge. We are not out of Ukraine yet even though he said it would be over in one phone call. Ukraine just hit Russian bombers that nuclear agreements require be stored in plain sight, further weakening trust in US sincerity about the agreements it is committed to. Trump has been saber rattling with Iran, a country that has been in the sights of the Israel First Neocons for 30 years. Trump took hundreds of millions of dollars from the Israel First crowd.
Now is the time for America First Patriots to stand up and call for the Trump administration to keep its promises. No War on Iran. If we go to war on Iran, it risks a civilization ending level conflict. But don't take my word for it, consider the recent work on this issue of Tucker Carlson, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Steven Mersheimer, Judge Napolitano, Candace Owens and many more patriots who are paying attention. May God help us all.
Chronic Democrat cognitive dissonance makes my head implode. (Which is their evil plan.)
To everyone here on Santa Barbara Current, and Jim Buckley,
I'm 65 and I've never marched in a protest parade, or attended at political rally, done anything like that in person. But I will be going down to the beach in SB on Saturday, with my American flag to walk among others. Not that it matters. I'll be walking with my flag of the USA of Flag Day.
250th Anniversary of the US Army on display. After Biden destroyed military recruitment. Pride in US military service is back. Darn right this is worth celebrating. 250 years of defending our freedoms and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for thee and me? How would you celebrate the Army's 250th year milestone?
I will be on Cabrillo blvd on Saturday morning waving my American flag in opposition to Trump. And in support of the US Army that was against the KING of England, 250 years ago. Get it??
Good luck convincing anybody of Mr. Seibert's logic. Fortunately, 95% of people seeing him wave Old Glory on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, Flag Day and the Commander-in-Chief's 79th birthday will naturally assume he's standing tall for The Trumpster. Hail to the Chief!
We left the failing Golden state I grew up in and it broke my heart. But you see this $hit happen (and you live in a sane state for a fraction of the cost) and you think jeez. Is it even safe to visit family anymore?! God bless every brave Californian who tries to save the state. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
What journalist is willing to confront Gavin Newsom and ask him what is his position on 12 million illegals flooding the nation and his state at a time when the federal budget deficit is $2 trillion a year and his state is spending $75 billion it doesn't have. Should we let in another 1 million illegals? How 'bout the half-million documented criminals among those 12 million illegals. What would you do with them.
What's your take on "protestors" burning property of a country they want to stay in and waving foreign flags of a country they don't want to return to?
What would you tell a Mexican government that lives on the $63 billion its citizens illegally in the U.S. send back to Mexico, primarily from the safety net welfare benefits which Democrat politicians have showered on them.
What about Mexico's $170 billion trade surplus with the U.S., or the 80,000 Americans who die yearly as a result of drugs imported from China and manufactured for death potency in Mexico by the drug cartels?
Gavin Newsom is under the illusion he has viable national political aspirations.
Right now, the governor couldn't locate his butt with both hands and a flashlight!
I had a short wave receiver radio in the 1960's. Wanting to hear what the Communists were saying I would tune into Moscow, Hanoi, Beijing, and Cuba. What I heard was far different than what was being broadcast in the good old USA.
One quickly understood the Communist slant, particularly out of Hanoi. An Icon of US news was Walter Cronkite. Here was the rub, he almost ALWAYS slanted combat stories in S. Vietnam to portray us as being stupid or having been run over by the NVA or Cong. Being in the Army I had information from on the ground sources "Uncle Walter" was intentionally making sure the truth was a casualty of his reporting.
We now know that he was anti Republican, wanted to hand over 'Nam to the Communists, and reported on the total corruption of the Saigon government. So fast forward to what you have seen and heard with BLM, and the current riots and manufactured outrage(?) on the news.
The Last Gasp started in 1968, life support of honest news soon started there after.
While I would not quite put it this way "...President Donald Trump can be emotionally blackmailed into becoming a potty-trained house Republican...." it is clear dumping of Millions of illegals on the country going back to Obama is taking its toll.
When born and raised Hispanics are angered at looting, display of the Mexican flag during riots, you know the Left has lost. Bass, Newsom and the rest show their lost rhetoric on TV, radio, and when the professional Leftest rioters make them look foolish it is panic time.
Secure borders and deportations was a clear RNC platform issue for 2024. This was never a hidden agenda. it was the primary reason Trump won. Voters knew this up front, and Trump made serious inroads into the alleged "minority" votes (black, hispanic, asian) in support of this very clearly stated RNC agenda platform. America wanted its borders secure and deportation of the open-border invasion Biden had ignored for four years.
Is that what the organized thugs of the Democrat party are violently protesting right now, their loss of their previous stranglehold on the "minority vote"? Their loss of the SEIU-teacher union Blue Wall?
Yes, secure borders. As the author stated, 73% of Americans polled agree rapists, murderers, human traffickers, and gang members should and must be deported.
My question is why ICE thinks they are going to find these people looking for work in a Home Depot parking lot at 8am?
TJ- Mass deportations was what voters agreed needed to be accomplished when casting their vote. Please read the 2024 GOP Platform.
I know. I'm just saying I wish they'd start with the people with known violent backgrounds. I believe what the author wrote that 70 something percent of Americans want those folks (rapists, gang members, etc.) removed. I guess I was hoping the administration would have a solution that wasn't just going to get messier as time goes on. But that might be wishing for something that can't happen.
TJ you’re not alone. Many citizens envisioned, wished for cherry picking of the bad guys first. However, with an estimated 12-16M or perhaps more residing here illegally, and limited resources, DHS/ ICE are acting pragmatically to fulfill Trump’s promise to voters to stop illegal entry and remove those unlawfully here.
Prioritizing first for deportation the bad guys (felons, rapist, murderers, gangsters, traffickers) was met with judicial resistance.
Plan B: Mass deportation with an estimated 1M in Los Angeles a good place to start.
My question: Do we have the will, the resources, to deport??
I think we have the will, the resources, to deport the 'bad guys'. Next would be visa overstays. After that, I think both will and resources might not be as easy to come by.
It's also going to be very insteresting when 50-75% of the current farm workers are gone. I added current as I assume/hope someone is going to do it?
Why not. Illegals are also engaged in money-laundering back to Mexico. If you are here without legal permission we are coming for you. Messages issued and message received. They turned down multiple offers to self-deport. Why are you carving out "exceptions" by default?
According to RedState, no wonder Santa Barbara also found itself on the Hit Parade by associations: Sang Louangprasert - ICE Los Angeles arrested Sang Louangprasert, a 66-year-old illegal alien from Laos. Louangprasert’s criminal history includes a conviction for lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 in Fresno, CA and inflicting corporal injury, spouse or cohabitant in Santa Barbara, CA.
Quit putting words in people's mouths you don't agree with. A great political ploy, though. I am not carving out any exceptions. I just suspect all the violent types that most people want dealt with aren't very likely to be found wanting to schelp dirt and drywall at 8am at Home Depot.
Ummm, maybe because construction is their day job? Murder, rape, burglary, maiming others is a side gig. Come on TJ, put on your thinking cap!
When I lived in LA for school I can say 100% that none of the gang members that lived on our street were doing any 'day' work. But yeah, maybe.
Describe the process that allows some illegals to claim exceptions and other cannot? Do you have a US passport? Do you have legal permission to reside in the US? Are you a "good person" so we can make an exception for you, since you have no legal permission to reside here? Do you want a jury trial with free counsel to determine if you are a "good person"?
Voters signed on to Trump’s commitment to remove those illegally within our borders. We may not like what’s required for the POTUS to fulfill his promise. However, Trump is delivering on his commitment to voters: the laws of our sovereign nation must be enforced. We are a nation of laws, citizens, and those legally within our borders.
We each have a different lens or expectation of the actual execution of our demands for immigration enforcement. Some citizens dislike the saw off shot gun approach aimed at the 20+M migrants unlawfully here, preferring ICE sharpshooters with specific targets aimed only at the felons, traffickers and gangsters. No matter.
Trump is delivering on his promise to voters to close the border, enforce existing immigration laws, remove those illegally residing and working here. Congress has had decades to change laws.
Anger and complaints need to be directed to Congressional Reps and US Senators.
Let’s hope President Trump and company find ways to deport, export, thwart and diminish the 50 million illegals here now.
Because that many illegals create over 60 new house seats and they’re all going to be Democrat.
It doesn’t matter if they are citizens, if there’s a body in a Democrat city, that means the Democrats get more house members and more federal funds by apportionment which they’re gonna spend to keep their illegals in the cities and in the nation.
I think the cuts to these NGO‘s and the USAID billions that being used by Dem cities to help keep aliens in the country, and spread all this propaganda. Those cuts are going to have a big difference so in the next few years we hopefully will see that suddenly the Democrats have little to no money.. at least not money from the US government taxpayer money. And that should help even things out a little.
"50 million illegals here now"?
TJ: 50M is far off speculation. There’s firm number, only a range of estimates. We must demand a reliable count in The 2030 Census.
Mainstream estimates (Pew, MPI, CMS, DHS) range from 10.9 to 11.7 million for recent years (2021–2023).
CIS - Center for Immigration Studies states 14 million (2024) and FAIR - Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform puts its estimates at 16.8–18 million (2023–2025). If CA had 10M in 2012, the number could be 14-20M nationwide.
A 2018 Yale study suggested 16–29 million, but its methodology was heavily criticized for overstating numbers due to unaccounted circular migration including VISA overstays which make up an estimated 40% of illegals: persons unlawfully here.
TCole; Modifications to the 2030 Census Count must identify citizenship status, dual status, green card holder, student VISA holder, and undocumented. Congress must pass a law that districting will be based on the count of Citizens Only: we have only one country.
The dual citizen matter requires discussion since some countries allow voting despite multiple citizenships. I take issue with split loyalties voting in 2 or more countries. I know neighbors with 4 citizenships.
I question anyone who supports GOP Gov Candidate Steve Hilton, a newcomer, who was acculturated, educated in England, and is a dual. Is California this desperate for candidates with a population of 38M (minus however million non citizens and duals)?
Thomas, do you like to eat vegetables and fruit??? If so you should get ready for your kids or grandkids to pick and harvest them. This is fact.
Seems to me Gavin is forgetting to touch up his hair dye these days. Recent photos show his hair going quite silver, as his national political aspirations evaporate.The mask is slipping.
I long for the days when my hair was going silver, now mine is evaporating. . .
Sadly the Dems in my own family believe anything the media tells them. The Democrats know this. They know they can create whatever reality they want and the Dems will embrace it. Biden is fine. Riots are mostly peaceful. And you can’t convince Dems otherwise. This is the problem. They live in a fantasy reality and anyone who points this out is a Nazi. They are all on meds or should be on meds. We cannot allow the patients to continue running the Asylum.
2024 GOP Platform voters approved:
Promise #1 - Secure the border.
Promise #2 - Deportation of all violent illegal aliens and eventually all those continuing to reside in the US illegally - per original 1986 President Reagan "amnesty" agreement.
Arizona Star reports:
"Across the entire span of the U.S.-Mexico border, the change is stark - and it happened nearly overnight. Where Border Patrol agents encountered well over 100,000 migrants and asylum seekers just a year ago, they now see fewer than 10,000. More than four months into President Trump's second term, one of his signature campaign promises - shutting down the flow of migrants across the border - seems fulfilled......."
But also stop the needless and unafforbale wars. Is that happening? Ukraine? Is this action being used to give the impression that there will be mass deportations only to distract as a new and much more serious war is entered into to complete Israel's check list of 7 countries that the US should be used to vanquish? Iran is the last one standing. Today is the arbitrary deadline Trump set for the new nuclear agreement with Iran. Trump arbitrarily tore up the previous one. I pray he is able to stand against the demonic forces that want war and do not care at all about what happens to the United States of America. Pray hard and call your representatives to say no war on Iran, end all the wars.
No wars during Trump's first term. Wars during Bush, Obama and Biden terms. Chose your side carefully.
No wars? What was Afghanistan, where Trump negotiated a withdrawal of U.S. forces with the terrorist Taliban insurgents and not with the Afghan government? What was Syria and ISIS? What about Russia's war against Ukraine, where Trump attempted to blackmail Ukraine's government in exchange for arms deliveries?
Trump started no wars in his first term. Bush, Obama and Biden started wars in their terms. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine. All RINO-Democrat sell outs to the military industrial complex.
I know you are an attorney but your response is "Whataboutism," started during Trump's first term. I give this one to Aimee.
Trump started no wars. But plenty of Democrat wars ended up on his desk. What would you do to stop the Obama-Biden-Bush wars? Props to Trump for changing the dialogue and suing for peace. Take your "vote" to where they matter. To the military-industrial complex deep state - that is Trump's only war- on the inside war-mongers who your tax dollars keep supporting.
Trump's Military-Industrial complex. . . that's a term for his mentality will be on display Saturday in D.C.. Federal money well spent?
We all have one president now. The election is over. Like Stephen Seimsen says, Trump mainainted the illegal and unprincpled undercutting of Syria for Israel and then shook the hand of an Al Qaeda/ISIS/HTS foreign puppet that is letting Israel take land and destroy the country and massacring Christians and other minorities. Look into these things. There is more than one way to topple a country. Our country is at stake, we don't have time to get distracted with teams. There is right and wrong. There is good for America and bad for America. We should have a foreign policy and economic policy that is good for America and not exploitative and evil towards the people of other lands. No foreign entanglements, live with honor, thrive and respect the sovereignty of other countries. If we do that, I am sure God will protect us.
