Los Angeles, CA – Assemblymember Mark González issued the following statement denouncing Violence at anti-ICE protests.
"Let's be absolutely clear: the violent acts we're seeing — rocks thrown at officers, CHP cars and Waymo vehicles set on fire, arson on the 101 freeway — have nothing to do with immigration, justice, or the values of our communities," said Assemblymember Mark González.
"These are not protestors — they are agitators. Their actions are reckless, dangerous and playing into exactly what Trump wants. At a time when our emergency services are already stretched thin, these acts divert critical police resources away from real emergencies and put lives at risk.
This destruction undermines our cause, wastes taxpayer dollars, and endangers our neighbors. We support peaceful protest. But, we condemn violence, chaos, and criminal behavior in our streets.
Los Angeles stands for justice — not destruction."
Assemblymember Mark González is the Assembly Majority Whip. He represents the 54th Assembly District composed of the cities of Los Angeles, Commerce, Montebello, and Vernon.
