White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will brief members of the media today at 1 pm ET as the ICE insurrection in Los Angeles continues.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the President has deployed the National Guard and 700 Marines to stop the insurrectionists and foreign invaders wreaking havoc on California.
California’s Democrat Governor Newsom and failed Democrat LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed the feds for the violence and filed a lawsuit against the President’s use of federal troops.
President Trump announced for the first time during his speech at Fort Bragg on Tuesday that the Department of Justice is investigating who is funding the insurrectionists. This comes as a black pick-up truck was spotted providing the rioters with masks and other riot essentials on Monday.
“Somebody’s financing it, and we’re going to find out through Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice who it is,” he said. “Under the Trump administration, this anarchy will not stand. We will not allow federal agents to be attacked, and we will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.”
Earlier on Tuesday, President Trump also threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if the lawlessness in Los Angeles continues.
Today’s briefing also comes after a federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that President Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs could remain in effect while the Trump Administration mounts an ongoing legal challenge. This follows a US Court of International Trade ruling that President Trump exceeded his authority to unilaterally impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Leavitt is expected to primarily address the ongoing riots in opposition to the federal government’s enforcement of immigration law during today’s briefing.
The leftist media will likely also question her on President Trump’s Tuesday announcement that he will reinstate the names of seven bases that were named after Confederate Generals, including Fort Robert E. Lee, which Biden changed.
