This comes amid the administration's rising tension with California authorities over Trump's order to deploy thousands of military personnel amid anti-immigration protests in Los Angeles.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday (Jun 12) accused his predecessor Joe Biden's administration and California Governor Gavin Newsom of “flooding America with 21 million illegal aliens”. This comes amid the administration's rising tension with California authorities over Trump's order to deploy thousands of military personnel amid anti-immigration protests in Los Angeles.

“The Biden Administration and Governor Newscum flooded America with 21 Million Illegal Aliens, destroying Schools, Hospitals and Communities, and consuming untold Billions of Dollars in Free Welfare. All of them have to go home, as do countless other Illegals and Criminals, who will turn us into a bankrupt Third World Nation,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“America was invaded and occupied. I am reversing the Invasion. It’s called Remigration. Our courageous ICE Officers, who are daily being subjected to doxxing and murder threats, are HEROES. We will always have their back as they carry out this noble mission. America will be for Americans again!” he added.

In a separate post, the US president said, “Incompetent Gavin Newscum should have been THANKING me for the job we did in Los Angeles, rather than making sad excuses for the poor job he has done. If it weren’t for me getting the National Guard into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now!”

During a press conference on Thursday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vowed a continued federal presence in Los Angeles and Southern California as immigration enforcement continues — and she warned that protesters who stir up violence will be arrested and prosecuted.

Noem described protests that were transpiring in Los Angeles as “un-American.” “Masked thugs are assaulting police officers. They’re setting vehicles on fire. They’re waving foreign flags on American soil while burning American flags and they damaged public property and destroyed private businesses,” Noem said.

“If you attack one of our law enforcement officers, we are going to come after you and we are going to arrest you, prosecute you and jail you,” she added.
