Vile LA rioters target agents at their hotels and threaten to 'burn them' as law enforcement faces death threats
In vile posts calling for violence against law enforcement, the hotels where federal agents are staying in Los Angeles have been released online, with one agitator saying 'burn them.'
The exact address of where Border Patrol agents stayed in Ranch Cucamonga, California just outside LA was posted on Instagram by a self-proclaimed 'leftists'.
'ICE at Hilton, car filled goggles, tuff ties, and riot shields,' the video said, even though the cars were clearly marked Border Patrol, which is a sister agency of Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE.
Border Patrol has been called in to help ICE as it carried out immigration arrests in Los Angeles last week.
Additionally, Border Patrol has always been able to operate within 100 miles of the US-Mexico border on its own.
'Burn them,' posted Instagram users @bobbygee57_ in response to the reel showing the agent's location.
'Got a match,' asked @joseflocas.
Another user urged others to damage the tax-payer funded vehicles.
Some of the commentators urges violence against Border Patrol agents
'Pop the tires and use spark plugs to break their windows.'
Border Patrol agents have since relocated.
'A lot of hotels are compromised,' one agent on the ground told DailyMail.com.
He speculated they might have to sleep inside federal buildings to stay safe.
The agency's intelligence team had been notified of the threats against its officers.
A second post made unverified claims that ICE agents had been kicked out of a hotel in Pasadena.
It shared the new hotel address where the they posters claimed the agents were moving to.
The @Stopicenet account shared an image of a Border Patrol truck engulfed in flames.
A Free Palestine group shared instructions on how to organize against the cops in LA, saying peaceful protests don't work.
'Riots downtown are great, but what can you accomplish in small numbers, wearing a mask at night, with your phone at home,' posted @solidaritysfl.
'Showing up to a sidewalk protest with protest marshals empowers counterrevolutionary entities (liberals) to drain all the energy and radicalism into Instagram photo ops and call-your-representatives nonsense. That's not going to work. It never has.
There are so many other options. If you're all alone, show up to your local Food Not Bombs (in a mask) and let's talk. We are everywhere.'
Federal officials have made if clear that violence against agents will not be tolerated.
'Our law enforcement officers are just doing their jobs. Violence and intimidation against federal law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,' ICE posted to X.
'Assaulting, harassing and doxing ICE officers and special agents is against the law. The Justice Department will prosecute you for these federal crimes!'

What's the background to this? The US bombing of Iran's nuclear sites comes just over a week after Israel launched strikes on then Israel and Iran have continued to fire missiles at each and the US have long been allies.

US warplanes strike three nuclear sites as Iran warns of 'everlasting' consequences
The US has carried out a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites on Iran, President Donald Trump has said, while Tehran has warned of "everlasting" consequences. Bunker buster bombs were dropped on the heavily protected Fordow enrichment plant, which is buried deep under a mountain near the city of Qom, as well as sites at Natanz and Isfahan. Satellite imagery has revealed some of the surface damage at Fordow after the US strikes. The dramatic escalation brings the US into direct involvement in the war between Israel and Iran. Tehran's threat of reprisals raises fears of a wider regional conflict. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the US strikes "will have everlasting consequences", adding that his country "reserves all options" to retaliate. US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said America's 'Operation Midnight Hammer' had "devastated the Iranian nuclear programme" but confirmed the strikes were "not about regime change". "The United States does not seek war, but let me be clear - we will act swiftly and decisively when our people, our partners, or our interests are threatened," he said. Iran has repeatedly denied that it is seeking a nuclear weapon, and the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog said in June that it has no proof of a "systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon". The Iranian foreign minister told journalists on Sunday morning that he was flying to Moscow to have "serious consultations" with Vladimir Putin. He described Moscow as a "friend of Iran", adding: "We always consult with each other." Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG) said that "invaders must now await responses that will bring regret" after US strikes. 2:48 Iran has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to "maintain international peace and condemn the US strikes", according to state media. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the "bold decision" by Mr Trump, saying it would "change history". Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it launched 40 missiles at Israel on Sunday morning, including its biggest ballistic missile, the Khorramshahr-4. Iranian missiles hit sites in northern and central Israel, including in Haifa, Ness Ziona, Rishon LeZion and Tel Aviv. The UK is preparing to fly British nationals out of Israel, and Israeli airspace will temporarily open today for repatriation flights to land. Countries trying to evacuate their citizens are waiting for the airspace to reopen fully to charter flights out. Gulf states like Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, all home to US military bases, are on high alert after the strikes, with Bahrain urging drivers to avoid main roads and Kuwait setting up shelters. The UK has also further increased "force protection" measures for its military bases and personnel in the Middle East to their highest level. The and reach "a diplomatic solution to end this crisis". "Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat," said Sir Keir Starmer. 3:34 However, Mr Araghchi said the US and Israel had "blown up" negotiations and asked: "How can Iran return to something it never left, let alone blew up?" 2:28 US Senator Chris Murphy posted on X after the strikes, saying that he and other senators received a classified briefing last week indicating that Iran did not pose an immediate threat through its nuclear program. "Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon," Senator Murphy said. "The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success." Addressing the nation in the hours after the strikes, Mr Trump said that Iran must now make peace or "we will go after" other targets in Iran. "There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days," he said. 1:20 In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said: "All planes are safely on their way home", and he congratulated "our great American Warriors". He also threatened further strikes on Iran unless it doesn't "stop immediately", adding: "Now is the time for peace." Sky News understands there was no UK involvement in the strikes. 'Fordow is gone' Among the sites hit was Fordow, a secretive nuclear facility buried around 80 metres below a mountain and one of two key uranium enrichment plants in Iran. "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," Mr Trump said. "Fordow is gone." There had been a lot of discussion in recent days about possible American involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict, and much of it centred around the US possibly being best placed to destroy Fordow. Meanwhile, Natanz and Isfahan were the other two sites hit in the US attack. Natanz is the other major uranium enrichment plant in Iran and was believed to have possibly already suffered extensive damage in Israel's strikes earlier this week. 1:44 Isfahan features a large nuclear technology centre and enriched uranium is also stored there, diplomats say. 'No increase in radiation levels' US media reported that six 'bunker buster' bombs were used to strike Fordow. However, most of the highly enriched uranium at the Fordow nuclear facility was moved to an undisclosed location ahead of the attack, a senior Iranian source told the Reuters news agency. Personnel numbers were also reduced at the site, according to the report. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that there has been "no increase in off-site radiation levels" after the US airstrikes. Mr Trump said no further strikes were planned and that he hoped diplomacy would now take over. In a briefing with journalists, Iran's foreign minister said Mr Trump had deceived his own voters over his promises not to get involved in any more "forever wars". "While President Trump was elected on a platform of putting an end to America's costly involvement in forever wars in our part of the world, he has betrayed not only Iran by abusing our commitment to diplomacy, but also deceived his own voters."

EXCLUSIVE Hero schoolboy tells how he saved girlfriend when her Muslim parents tried to strangle her in 'honor killing'
A heroic teenage boy has described how he saved his girlfriend's life as her parents allegedly tried to strangle her in an 'honor killing'. Ihsan Ali, 44, and his wife Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali, 40, are charged with second-degree attempted murder and attempted kidnapping after the attack on October 18. The girl, 17, who can't be named, ran away from home to Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, after her parents tried to put her on a plane to Iraq. 'Her father had recently been threatening her with honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in another county,' the girl told police. Shocking video showed Ihsan on the ground with his daughter in a chokehold outside the school, while classmates desperately tried to free her. Ihsan and Zahraa both pleaded not guilty and are expected to go on trial in July. The girl met her boyfriend at the school after she fled her home and school officials arranged for her to stay at a women's shelter. However, the school did not arrange transport there, so the couple went outside to catch a bus, and spotted Ihsan's pickup truck in the car park. The teenage boy explained to police in an interview on November 6 that a friend told him Ihsan had seen them and was heading their way. '[The girl] was scared, shaking, and had a tremble in her voice,' Detective Julie Mullen wrote in a report obtained by the Daily Mail. The boy stood between his girlfriend and her father as they tried to get to the bus as it arrived, and attempted to separate them when Ihsan tried to pull her away. Ihsan then allegedly punched him in the head and he remembered falling down and everything going black. '[He] said when he got up [the girl's] dad was "choking" her and [two other students] punched [Ihsan] in the face and people were yelling to call 911,' Mullen wrote. 'He started punching her dad in the face but he continued to choke [the girl] and said others were trying to pull her out while he continued to punch her dad in the head. 'He continued to punch Ishan until his "head got soft" and he got knocked out.' The boy then helped his girlfriend off the ground, but she 'couldn't breathe' and didn't know what was going on. Just as he was helping her to his feet, he alleged Zahraa and the girl's eldest sister Haneen, 21, came up behind them and pushed him out of the way to get to her. He told police he tried to 'fight them off' by putting up his arm up and pushing them away, and in the melee the girl and Zahraa were pushed to the ground. 'Once [the girl] and her mom were on the ground, her mom put her arm around her neck and started choking her,' Mullen wrote. He said that as he tried to pull the girl away from Zahraa, Haneen yelled 'what are you doing this?' at him. The boy was eventually able to pull his girlfriend to her feet and then away from Haneen when she allegedly grabbed her, and flee towards the school. The brave teenager suffered a 'boxer's fracture' to his finger as he tried to get Ishan off his girlfriend, and bruises and scratches on his head and face. He wasn't diagnosed with a concussion but had symptoms such as sensitivity to light and headaches when he tried to watch TV or play video games. His mother told police it 'took him several days to talk about the incident without crying'. The boy also told police about an earlier incident at the school with Zahraa on September 16 last year where she attacked him. He explained the incident was sparked by Zahraa seeing him and the girl kiss three times outside the school. The girl told him her 'life was ruined' after she realized that her mother had spotted them. '[The girl's] mom grabbed his arm and told him to get in her car but he continued to walk to the bus. [The boy] said he was yelling and causing a scene,' Mullen wrote. The girl earlier told police in a three-hour interview with police on October 24 that she ran away because she was terrified of being taken to Iraq where she would be married off, abused, and forced to have children - never to return home. She explained that after her boyfriend was knocked to the floor with his eyes closed, Ihsan grabbed her in a viscous attack. '[The girl] said her dad yanked her down and put her in a headlock. She said he was "choking" her "really hard" and she remembered grabbing his arm but then passed out,' police wrote. From there, her memory of Ihsan's attack ended, and she only knew what happened by watching the video of her boyfriend and classmates heroically saving her life. But the attempt on her life was not over, as Zahraa allegedly seized her and tried to finish the 'honor killing'. 'Someone pushed them to the ground, and then her mom started to choke her and was screaming in her ear,' Mullen wrote. The girl also detailed her father's alleged threats to kill her for dating an American boy, and refusing an arranged marriage. 'If I could kill you, I would kill you, but I can't do that. I can't do that because there's cops and CPS people involved right now because of you,' she claimed he said. 'And I can't touch you because you will immediately go to the school.' The girl told police Ihsan another time told her he wanted to 'hurt her so badly but there are cops here' but also told her how he would 'kill her no matter what happens' and he 'did not care if anyone saw him'. Police bodycam footage obtain by showed officers arriving at the school and arresting Ihsan, who demanded to speak to his daughter. 'Just let me tell her to come home - not like that. If I tell her to go home, she will go home,' he insisted, but police ignored him. Officers then had to deal with Zahraa and Haneen, who were hysterical and only left after Zahraa was allowed to speak to Ihsan. These are some of the cuts, welts, and broken bones the teenage girl suffered when her parents allegedly tried to strangle her in an 'honor killing' Police did not realize Zahraa also allegedly tried to kill her daughter until four days later, leaving her free to continue looking for her daughter, who was in hiding. Zahraa drove her youngest children, two boys aged five and three, into Canada and dropped them off with an Ihsan's brother and mother, who lived there. She then returned to Washington before trying to cross into Canada a second time with a 'notable quantity of baggage' on the night of October 22, but was arrested by customs officers.
