President Trump looked on in stunned disbelief as ICE agents were viciously ambushed by protesters — then delivered a powerful statement that reverberated across the nation.
President Donald Trump has fired off sweeping new orders granting “total authorization” to federal immigration agents, following a brutal attack on ICE officers during a high-stakes raid at an illegal marijuana grow operation in California.
In a blazing statement on Truth Social, Trump recounted how ICE agents were viciously ambushed by “THUGS” hurling rocks and bricks while officers were trapped inside their vehicle.
“I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public,” Trump declared. “Law enforcement now has the green light to stop their vehicles and arrest attackers by any means necessary.”
This marks a dramatic escalation in the federal enforcement playbook.
Chaos Erupts in California
On July 10, a raid targeting an illegal cannabis farm exploded into chaos as roughly 500 protesters swarmed to block ICE agents from making arrests. Authorities detained over 360 undocumented immigrants and rescued 14 migrant children amid the melee.
One ICE Public Affairs officer suffered injuries after being struck by a flying rock. The Department of Homeland Security immediately pointed fingers at Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA), accusing him of inciting violence by publicly revealing the agent’s identity — a move DHS condemned as “downright un-American.”
“Carbajal’s reckless actions sent an ICE employee to the emergency room,” DHS stated sharply.
Federal Showdown Intensifies
The raid ignited outrage in Washington, prompting Trump to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles — a move Governor Gavin Newsom slammed as “federal overreach.”
Under Trump’s orders, ICE is now ramping up operations across Southern California, gearing up for what could become the largest mass deportation campaign in American history.
Political Fallout and Rising Tensions
The controversy doesn’t end there. Progressive lawmakers continue to clash with federal immigration agents. Recently, Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was indicted after storming an ICE detention center, further escalating tensions.
With attacks on ICE agents reportedly soaring by 700%, Trump’s “total authorization” signals a no-holds-barred approach — and a sharp warning to anyone interfering with immigration enforcement.
As the legal battle between federal authorities and state leaders heats up, one thing is clear: America’s immigration war just entered a new, more volatile chapter.
