“Those Who Claimed Biden Was Fully Aware Are Now Discredited by the Los Angeles Violence” — Congressman Darrell Issa Launches Fierce Attack on Biden Administration and Democrats over LA Riots

“This Is an Insurrection,” Says California Republican Congressman, Calling for Congressional Investigation into ICE Riot

[Los Angeles, June 12, 2025]
California Republican Congressman Darrell Issa has described the recent violent riots in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as an “insurrection” and launched a scathing attack on the Biden administration and Democratic leaders. He argued that the violence has destroyed the credibility of those who claimed President Biden was fully alert and in control.

In an interview published Tuesday by Fox News Digital, Issa stated,

“When people directly attack property and law enforcement, that meets the definition of an insurrection.
Those who claimed Biden was fully aware—they have no credibility left.
They are openly lying, and they can no longer be trusted.”

While Democrats have labeled the protests as “mostly peaceful,” Issa challenged that characterization. He alleged that during the attack on the ICE office, police took two hours to respond—a sign of “clear administrative failure.” However, LAPD countered that they arrived within 40 minutes but were delayed due to traffic congestion.

Issa added,

“When ICE agents are under attack and the local administration fails to protect them, President Trump is left with no choice but to deploy federal forces.
If necessary, military protection must be ensured for ICE personnel.”

He further emphasized,

“This country has already seen over 10 million illegal immigrants, many of whom are criminals.
It is crucial to provide full protection to ICE officers who are on the frontlines.”

Highlighting Democratic “hypocrisy,” Issa said,

“They’ve been screaming about the January 6 incident for years, calling it an insurrection.
But now they’re silent as violent riots rage in Los Angeles for days.”

He also criticized Governor Gavin Newsom, saying:

“Newsom might’ve gotten away with such negligence during the radio and TV era, but now the public sees everything on video.”

On the other hand, Governor Newsom on Tuesday night condemned President Trump’s deployment of federal forces, calling it a “militarization” of law enforcement.

“Trump is sending troops to arrest waiters, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses. This is not protection—it’s a reign of fear,” he said.

Newsom also warned,

“This blanket authority for National Guard deployment isn’t limited to California.
This operation will expand nationwide.
We are witnessing a direct assault on democracy.”

Brief Analysis:

These events underscore the deepening internal political divisions in the United States during the 2024 election year—especially surrounding immigration policy, law enforcement, and the balance of power between federal and state governments.

Congressman Issa’s remarks reflect the Republican call for stronger security measures, while leaders like Governor Newsom from the Democratic side denounce Trump’s actions as “unconstitutional” and “anti-democratic.”
The rising tension hints at the possibility of more intense political clashes in the near future.
