The drug gangs have owned LA for years. They allow state and local political figureheads to pretend they’re running things. Trump and team will presumably quell the latest riot, but it will be right back to business as usual after the feds leave. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:

Update (1905ET):
What began as an anti–Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest, coordinated by rogue Marxist-aligned nonprofits, on Friday night in downtown Los Angeles quickly spiraled into riots and chaos, escalating by Sunday into what sure seems like ‘insurrectionist behavior‘ against the federal government.
“Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump continued, “I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots.”
“Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free,” the president concluded.
“I hate America and everyone in it, it is my life’s work to destroy it.”
