LAFC Backs Violent Anti-ICE Rioters as Los Angeles Burns

Footage of the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles stunned the nation over the weekend, as media outlets misleadingly labeled the chaos "peaceful protests" despite rampant destruction and anti-American rhetoric inciting violence against federal agents.

From June 7 to 8, rabid anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles unleashed mayhem, violently clashing with police, vandalizing property, looting, and setting fires, forcing the deployment of National Guard troops.

It was only a matter of time before a local team voiced support for the anti-ICE activists — enter the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) of the MLS. 

LAFC’s stance fuels LA’s political wildfire, which is a reckless misstep that amplifies chaos instead of dousing it.

Before their Sunday match against Sporting KC, LAFC posted on social media, endorsing the violent activists with little regard for fans who support the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration.

"Shoulder to Shoulder," LAFC posted on its X account, as leftist protesters, some wearing keffiyehs, set the city ablaze.

While the team described the riots as peaceful, ground-level footage of cars engulfed in flames and injuries within massive, unruly crowds revealed the true nature of these wrongly dubbed "peaceful protests."
