‘The View' co-host warns cast mates not to demonize ICE and military personnel over LA riots
'The View' co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin warned her co-hosts on Wednesday against 'demonizing' Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in their discussion about the LA riots. 'I think Trump is not doing this just for optics,' co-host Sunny Hostin said. 'I think that this is a test case so that he can dismantle some of our institutions. I think it's a power grab. I think he is trying to use the might of the military to suppress people's rights. I think that is very clear. When you use the military against your own citizens, that is a sign of fascism. That is just the truth.' The co-hosts continued to criticize the president for his decision to send in troops to aid law enforcement. Griffin then urged the co-hosts to be careful not to 'take the bait,' as Hostin insisted that she didn't think it was bait. 'I haven't made my point yet,' Griffin said. 'The ICE agents, those are nonpartisan actors, for the most part, who signed up for jobs and served under multiple administrations. They did not necessarily sign up to be doing this, and they're following an order of the commander-in-chief.' 3 Farah Griffin warned the other hosts on 'The View' against 'demonizing' ICE amid the LA riots. ABC Co-host Whoopi Goldberg and Hostin said they weren't demonizing them. 'We're saying this is the result of ICE, ICE's actions,' Hostin insisted. The liberal co-host blamed ICE for the crisis in LA on Tuesday. Griffin added, 'I think it's important to remember it's the commander-in-chief that made the decision. They're following the orders.' Goldberg then made a seeming comparison to Germany in the 1930s, saying, 'Where have you heard that before? 'I'm just following orders from the commander-in-chief.'' 3 Demonstrators gather in front of California National Guard troops, as protests against immigration sweeps continue, in Los Angeles, California, U.S. June 9, 2025. REUTERS 3 Serious disorder takes place in downtown Los Angeles and hundreds of law enforcement are deployed as are National Guard. Toby Canham for NY Post Goldberg agreed with co-host Sara Haines, who said she didn't blame the National Guard or the Marines, but said they needed to be careful. 'I think it's important we remember statistically the National Guard, the Marines and even these ICE agents… half of them probably have your political views. Half of them are probably pretty uncomfortable with these orders. They have families at home. They have bills to pay, and they're questioning should I walk away from this,' Griffin pushed back. Goldberg agreed and then went on to say construction companies and more would have a harder time getting people to work without immigrants. Hostin insisted on Monday that being undocumented was not illegal during a conversation about the riots in LA.

Sunny Hostin claims ICE caused crisis in Los Angeles
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin said Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was to blame for the chaos in Los Angeles. "I spoke to five people that live in LA, that work in LA, and they said the protests were very, very orderly, they weren't violent, and they occurred in about a four-block radius, and we all know how large LA is. And so, in my view, there is no crisis in Los Angeles that ICE did not cause. That is the fact of the matter, right?" Hostin said. While discussing the LA demonstrations, Hostin pointed to the administration's goal of arresting 3,000 illegal immigrants per day, and suggested there was a larger plan in place. "Trump is militarizing that state as a test run, as a test run to make sure that he can do it in places like New York, that he can do it in other sanctuary cities and so there is a plan to this, in my view, and I really think that there's no question that the LAPD, that has 9,000 police officers, could have handled this quite well instead of sending in 4,700 troops," Hostin continued. Rioters Smash Windows At Lapd Headquarters As Anti-ice Agitators Clash With Authorities Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops on Saturday to help protect federal property in the city and on Monday ordered an additional 500 U.S. Marines to be mobilized to respond as well. Read On The Fox News App Co-host Joy Behar said during the discussion that Trump was using it as a distraction. "His tariffs are tanking the economy, pretty much. Even the Senate is not interested in that [big, beautiful bill], and then we know that he had a fight with his best friend, Elon Musk," she said. "What's more of a distraction than watching people, you know, acting the way they are in Los Angeles? I've seen this in my lifetime, and sometimes kids get killed when this happens." Co-host Whoopi Goldberg played two videos on "The View" and asked if anyone could tell the difference between them, one the rioting in Los Angeles and the other a sports celebration in Philadelphia after the Eagles won the Super Bowl in February. Dozens Of Anti-ice Rioters Arrested In La As Trump Sends In National Guard To Quell Violence Goldberg argued that the National Guard was not sent in to quell the raucous celebrations by football fans. California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office also compared the LA riots to celebrations that notoriously broke out in Philadelphia after the Eagles' victory. "LA riots? Have these geniuses ever seen what happens when the Eagles win a playoff game?" Izzy Gardon, Newsom's communications director, told Fox News Digital on Sunday. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Hostin argued on Monday that being undocumented was not illegal. "Let's axe that right now, because it is not illegal to be undocumented. It is not a crime to be undocumented. People are not illegal." Hostin said. "We need to put that information out there. It is a civil infraction."
