Mexico’s President on Sunday poured gasoline over the fire and essentially joined the ongoing insurrection in Los Angeles while threatening the United States with more mayhem.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, violent protests broke out on Friday after ICE agents conducted multiple raids in downtown Los Angeles.
The riots continued into Saturday. Protesters started fires, threw projectiles at law enforcement officers, and damaged property in response to LA Mayor Karen Bass’s call for action against ICE agents. The situation turned south so quickly that Trump deployed the National Guard in an effort to restore order while Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom sat on their hands.
But things only escalated yesterday with thugs torching cars, attacking police horses, and continuing to assault law enforcement officials.
Now, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is egging on the violent protesters and lashing out at the Trump Administration for even trying to lay down the law. During a speech in Mexico City, Sheinbaum hailed the rioters as “good men and women” who just want to support their families.
“Mexicans living in the United States are good men and women, honest people who went to the United States to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families,” Sheinbaum said. “They are not criminals! They are good men and women!”
Sheinbaum also called for Mexicans in America to mobilize and take action if the U.S. decides to implement a tax on money sent home to Mexico. Remittances make up roughly 4% of Mexico’s gross domestic product.
So she is threatening another insurrection against America for taxing money flowing out of our country.
