LOS ANGELES (TNND) — Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., on Monday called on members of his party to condemn those creating “anarchy and true chaos” through a series of immigration riots in Los Angeles.
The presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles sparked protests over the weekend, which then led to wider riots against immigration enforcement. The Pennsylvania Democrat shared an image of vehicles burning in the street and demanded Democratic leaders speak out against the riots.
“I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that,” he wrote. “This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcemen
