Photos: Los Angeles Migrant INVASION

A once great American City has been occupied.

Jun 10, 2025

America has spent the last several days gripped by the Los Angeles-area protests against federal immigration sweeps. In a post on his special little social media platform, President Trump said that “Los Angeles has been invaded by Illegal Aliens and Criminals,” and promised to “put an end to these Migrant riots.” His most recent actions included ordering 700 Marines to the city on Monday night.

With national news unfolding in my backyard, I couldn't pass up this chance to do some hard-hitting, boots-on-the-ground journalism. I took to the streets with a camera, hoping to document the rampant violence and migrant-caused chaos that has brought my beloved Los Angeles to its knees.
