This number is a bit disappointing.
The city of Los Angeles turned into a war zone over the weekend.
The streets of Los Angeles have been filled with thousands of anti-ICE rioters who have been burning cars, destroying public buildings, and assaulting law enforcement officers.
Despite over 2,000 members of the National Guard being deployed and thousands of local law enforcement officers being there, there have been fewer than 100 arrests so far.
Per The New York Post:
The Trump administration announced it’ll be deploying an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles as the city enters its fourth night of violent anti-ICE riots.
President Trump ordered the Department of Defense on Monday to send out the additional troops just two days after his administration sent out its first round to help control the massive crowds of protesters in downtown LA.
With the new group, more than 4,000 Guard troops would be stationed in the California city.
It’s unclear how many federal, state, and local authorities have been sent to tackle the protests, but on Monday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that 700 active-duty Marines would also be dispatched.
Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom also said he is working to “surge over 800 additional state and local law enforcement officers to ensure the safety of our LA communities,” he wrote on X.
As of Sunday, around 2,000 protesters were estimated to be participating in the demonstrations, which continued on Monday night. At least 56 people were arrested over the weekend.

Some organizations are bailing out the rioters:
The daughters of a top LA official were among those arrested.
Per The Daily Mail:
The twin daughters of a senior Los Angeles official were arrested in the ICE riots on Sunday night, where they allegedly assaulted a police officer with a deadly weapon.
Lucia Aguilar Cole, 26, who serves as the Community Growth and Economic Innovation Deputy for the Los Angeles City Council, was taken into custody around 7pm along with her sister, Antonia, according to LA Sheriff’s Department records.
The women are the daughters of Rick Cole – the city’s current Chief Deputy Controller and a former mayor of Pasadena. They were arrested during unrest that saw protesters hurling rocks and other objects from a bridge on to the 101 Freeway, where police vehicles were positioned below.
