75 Democrats Express 'Gratitude' to ICE in Antisemitism Vote Amid LA Riots
Seventy-five Democrats broke ranks on Monday, joining Republicans in voting for a House resolution condemning antisemitism and expressing "gratitude" for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other law enforcement personnel. Why It Matters Monday's vote comes as Los Angeles is reeling from days of political unrest after ICE raided several downtown city neighborhoods and arrested more than 50 people, sparking widespread anti-ICE demonstrations. The arrests are part of the Trump administration's broader crackdown on undocumented migrants, which has also swept up people who are legally permitted in the United States and resulted in the deportations of those who haven't been convicted of a crime. President Donald Trump deployed 4,000 National Guard troops to L.A. since the protests started unfolding and mobilized 700 Marines to respond if the strife escalates. Local officials and California Governor Gavin Newsom said they do not want a military presence in the city and the L.A. police chief said it creates logistical challenges for safely handling the protests. What To Know Monday's resolution condemned this month's antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, in which the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, faces 118 criminal charges. Soliman is accused of targeting a march calling for the return of Israeli hostages in Gaza. The resolution also "affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland." Of the 212 Democrats in the House, 113 voted against the resolution, which was introduced by Republican Representative Gabe Evans. Seventy-five Democrats voted in favor of the measure, including Representative Joe Neguse, of the district in which the Boulder attack occurred. Six lawmakers—five Democrats and one Republican—voted "present." A second, more broadly focused antisemitism resolution led by Representatives Jeff Van Drew, a Republican from New Jersey, and Neguse, received much wider bipartisan support, passing 400-0. Two lawmakers voted "present": Representatives Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, and Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

He's not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort. Antisemitism is a scourge on America. It shouldn't be weaponized politically." Evans responded to Jeffries on X: "I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, & now as a Congressman. This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat's Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions." Representative Dan Goldman of New York, who is Jewish, criticized the resolution during floor debate: "You weren't here, Mr. Evans, last term, but there were about 10 antisemitism resolutions that effectively said the same thing solely to score political points. We Jews are sick and tired of being used as pawns." Van Drew defended Evans' measure: "Yes, it is different than mine. Mine focused purely on antisemitism here in the world. But he brings up a valid point not only for Jews, but for many innocent victims... Illegal immigration is not a good thing." David Axelrod, ex-adviser to former President Barack Obama, posted to X: ".@BarackObama deported far more illegal immigrants than Trump, targeting those w/criminal records & the newly arrived. It was done carefully, responsibly & lawfully. What we're seeing in LA is calculated to provoke & escalate. It's a made-for TV reality show, produced by Donald J. Trump." Greene wrote on X after voting "present": "Antisemitic hate crimes are wrong, but so are all hate crimes. Yet Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others." What Happens Next California sued the Trump administration over its deployment of the National Guard to L.A., accusing Trump of an "unprecedented power grab" because he bypassed Newsom to send in the guardsmen. The last time a U.S. president circumvented a governor to deploy the National Guard was in 1965, when Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to Alabama to protect civil rights activists.

LA looters target popular sushi restaurant: 'Everybody is scared'
LOS ANGELES — The criminal mobs taking advantage of the upheaval caused by the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles smashed their way into a popular downtown sushi joint, leaving its owner and workers terrified. Video posted online shows one of the wooden front doors of Otoro Little Tokyo on East 2nd Street hanging bashed off its hinges and dozens of mask-wearing hoodlums trashing the inside of the restaurant and grabbing whatever they could early Monday. 'There were so many people from the outside, I was so scared, I was worried they would steal everything and destroy everything,' owner Kurt Kawai Chin told The Post on Tuesday.

REUTERS He said he expects his shop to now be closed for at least a week — with his restaurant staff too frightened at the moment to show up. Advertisement 'Everybody is scared. If the protests go longer, we may lose more. We hope the protests will be over soon, otherwise people will still be scared to come downtown,' Chin said. Some protesters had gathered outside the restaurant during the mayhem in a vain attempt to stop the looters from pillaging yet another local shop, a day after thieves targeted businesses including a downtown Foot Locker, a T-Mobile store and a convenience store. 'Hey get the f–k out!' a protester yelled at the throngs of troublemakers streaming inside. The man filming the footage followed a hooded man who snatched the restaurant's cash register drawer into the street, calling after him, 'Making us look bad!'

Getty Images The looter turned around and flashed a gloved middle finger, at which point the photographer, presumably looking to avoid a confrontation, said, 'Nah, you good.' More video posted on Instagram shows protesters closing the door behind the looters, then appearing to stand in front of it to prevent more people from getting inside. Chin said he expects to be out around $100,000 from the looting when everything is tabulated — including $10,000 for the broken door alone.

Chris Without a Hellcat via Storyful 'The security company called us, and we looked at the camera. … We were very lucky' considering what could have happened, he said. LA has been embroiled in chaotic and at times violent protests since Friday, following a series of raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement which resulted in the arrest of around 100 illegal immigrants. Cops have arrested dozens of the more violent protesters and are on the lookout for others they've identified but have yet to capture, including Elpidio Reyna, 40, who was caught on video throwing objects at federal vehicles in the city of Paramount. President Trump has called in 4,000 National Guard members and around 700 active-duty Marines in an attempt to bring the civil unrest under control, which lefty politicians and media outlets claim have fanned the flames of the violence.
