It’s apparently riot season in dystopian, left-wing Los Angeles once again, as the media tells us that “protesters” were upset that ICE was deporting a “pregnant mother,” an act they say sparked the latest round of destructive rioting. But, is that story true?
I mean, that’s what the Democrats, the anti-American left, and the lapdog media is telling us.
Naturally, it is all a lie. And we now have no less than TV’s Dr. Phil telling us what really happened.
Dr. Phil, who was on the ground witnessing ICE operations in L.A. on June 6 said that he saw the whole thing and it did not go down the way the media is saying it did.
And contrary to what’s been reported — or more accurately, not reported — in the mainstream media, federal activities on June 6 did not conduct a random round-up of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.
Rather, their coordinated multi-agency operations were conducted pursuant to a duly authorized federal search warrant — not a rumor nor hunch.
To obtain a search warrant, the government is required to present evidence to a federal judge who will evaluate if there is probable cause to issue such a warrant and that was done regarding a particular company in LA.
The primary business targeted in Friday’s operations was Ambiance Apparel, which, I’m told, is suspected of involvement in criminal activity.
And this is not the first time that this company has been in hot water. In 2020, the business and its owner, Sang Bum ‘Ed’ Noh were accused by federal prosecutors of undervaluing imports and skirting millions of dollars in tariffs. Ambiance Apparel pleaded guilty to eight offenses, such as conspiracy and money laundering, and Noh was sentenced to a year in prison.
Now, according to the White House border czar Tom Homan, the troubled manufacturer is being investigated again for alleged money laundering, tax evasion and customs fraud.
After federal officers raided that company facility, they audited the workforce and reportedly encountered some 40 individuals believed to be in the US illegally. Following US law, they took those individuals into custody.
In other words, this was a raid on a business over tax fraud.
It had nothing to do with grabbing up random “pregnant mothers.”
Dr. Phil concluded that, “In short, Friday operations were a strategic enforcement of the law — deliberate and legally sanctioned. But the response of some so-called activists, on the other hand, have been dangerous, destructive and utterly lawless.”
