Stabbing Sprees by Migrants Leave 8 Injured, Including 11-Year-Old Girl.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Two separate stabbings in Germany left eight people injured, including an 11-year-old girl. Migrants are believed to be the perpetrators.

👥 Who’s Involved: A 35-year-old Syrian asylum seeker is suspected in a Bielefeld attack, while a 46-year-old from Kosovo has been arrested in a Halle incident.

📍 Where & When: The first attack occurred the morning of May 18 in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, and the second on the same day outside an apartment block in Halle, central Germany.

💬 Key Quote:  “It’s high time for a clear turnaround: properly protect borders, consistently deport illegal immigrants, and finally make the security of its own population a priority again. Germany is on a knife-edge. Therefore: remigration now!” — Marc Bernhard, Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP.

⚠️ Impact: The incidents highlight ongoing concerns over security and migration policy in the European Union (EU), with countries like Germany facing increasing violence linked to migrants.

IN FULL:

Two separate stabbing attacks in Germany over the weekend left eight people injured, including an 11-year-old girl, with migrants reportedly identified as the suspects in both incidents.

In the first attack, five soccer fans, aged between 22 and 27, were injured outside a bar in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, on the morning of May 18. The assailant, armed with a knife and a cane sword, reportedly attacked the group indiscriminately. Four of the victims sustained serious injuries but managed to fight back, forcing the attacker to flee.

Police later discovered a bag left behind by the suspect containing multiple knives, a liquid smelling of gasoline, and identification documents indicating Syrian nationality. The 35-year-old suspect, who entered Europe via Turkey in 2023 and applied for asylum in Germany, was arrested Monday in Heiligenhaus near Düsseldorf. Authorities are investigating the case as a potential terror attack.

In a separate incident on May 18 in Halle, central Germany, three people, including an 11-year-old girl, were injured in a stabbing outside an apartment block. Witnesses reported that the violence stemmed from a dispute over children making noise. A 46-year-old migrant from Kosovo has been arrested in connection with the attack.

Responding to the incidents, Marc Bernhard, a member of Germany’s Bundestag (federal legislature) for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, criticized the government’s handling of mass migration, stating, “Even after 10 years of bloodshed, people are still talking about ‘isolated cases.’”

He added, “It’s high time for a clear turnaround: properly protect borders, consistently deport illegal immigrants, and finally make the security of [Germany’s] own population a priority again. Germany is on a knife-edge. Therefore: remigration now!”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, of the notionally center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), formerly led by Angela Merkel, had previously pledged to implement stricter immigration controls, including shutting down illegal border crossings. However, he has faced resistance from neighboring countries like Poland and has yet to deliver on promises of increased deportations.

The two attacks are part of a broader pattern of violent incidents involving migrants in Germany, with similar cases reported in cities such as Magdeburg, Munich, and Solingen in recent years.

Obama’s White House Doctor Criticizes Biden’s Physician for Skipping Cognitive Test.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Former President Barack Obama’s White House physician, Jeffrey Kuhlman, suggested President Joe Biden’s doctor should have conducted a cognitive test to evaluate Biden’s fitness for office.

👥 Who’s Involved: Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Joe Biden, President Donald J. Trump, Special Counsel Robert Hur, and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer.

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C.; comments over this past weekend.

💬 Key Quote: “Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest. It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?” said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman.

⚠️ Impact: House Republicans are investigating allegations that White House officials worked to cover up Joe Biden’s alleged cognitive decline, with subpoenas issued for the octogenarian Democrat’s doctor and senior aides.

IN FULL:

Former President Barack Obama‘s White House physician, Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, has raised concerns about the lack of cognitive testing for President Joe Biden during his time in office. Speaking to The Washington Post, Kuhlman suggested that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, should have performed a cognitive evaluation, particularly given Biden’s advanced age. O’Connor, who has served as Biden’s doctor since 2009, declared in a 2024 health report that the then-81-year-old president was “fit for duty,” but the report did not include neurocognitive testing.

“Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest,” Kuhlman said. “It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?” Kuhlman, who left the White House Medical Unit in 2013, described O’Connor as a “good doctor” but noted the possibility of future investigations revealing more details.

“I didn’t see that he’s purposely hiding stuff, but I don’t know that,” the Obama White House doctor said, adding: “Maybe the investigation will show it.”

Dr. Kuhlman’s comments come as House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has issued a subpoena for O’Connor to testify later this month. The inquiry focuses on allegations of a cover-up regarding Biden’s cognitive state and potential unauthorized use of executive powers. Comer’s letter to O’Connor also raised questions about whether financial ties to the Biden family influenced the physician’s assessments.

President Donald J. Trump has also weighed in, ordering Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate claims that Biden’s aides misused an autopen to conceal his cognitive decline. Trump described the allegations as “one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s February 2024 report highlighted instances of Biden’s memory lapses, including an inability to recall key dates and events, though Hur ultimately recommended against prosecution.

Concerns about Biden’s mental acuity have extended beyond Republican circles. A recent book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson detailed internal Democratic Party debates over Biden’s capacity to govern, with one excerpt claiming, “Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”

Americans First: U.S. Citizens Benefit as Over a Million Migrants Exit Labor Market.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Over one million foreign-born workers exited the U.S. labor force between March and May, according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve.

👥 Who’s Involved: Foreign-born workers, native-born workers, and the Trump administration.

📍 Where & When: United States, March to May of this year.

💬 Key Quote: “For the first time in 15 months, the job gains for native-born Americans… exceeded job gains for migrant and foreign-born workers,” President Donald J. Trump said.

⚠️ Impact: The data suggests a significant shift in the workforce, with foreign-born workers leaving at a higher rate than native-born workers, aligning with Trump administration policies.

IN FULL:

The U.S. labor force saw a significant decrease in foreign-born workers between March and May, according to recent data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. The foreign-born labor force dropped from 33.719 million in March to 32.706 million in May, marking a decline of 1.013 million workers.

By contrast, the overall civilian labor force experienced a far smaller reduction, decreasing by 0.437 million during the same period, from 170.653 million to 170.216 million. The disparity in these figures suggests that foreign-born workers are leaving the workforce at a disproportionately higher rate compared to native-born individuals.

This trend aligns with the Trump administration’s focus on prioritizing jobs for native-born Americans. In March, the administration highlighted job growth data showing that native-born workers gained 284,000 jobs in February, while foreign-born workers saw a loss of 87,000 jobs.

“For the first time in 15 months, the job gains for native-born Americans… exceeded job gains for migrant and foreign-born workers,” President Donald J. Trump stated earlier this year. He emphasized that this data counters Biden-era trends where foreign workers were seen to be taking a significant share of available jobs.

Under former President Joe Biden, foreign-born workers comprised a large portion of private sector job growth, with their labor force participation quickly recovering to pre-COVID levels. Meanwhile, native-born American workers saw their labor force participation continue to lag behind.

Notably, the importation of cheap foreign labor has been repeatedly shown to depress wages for the entirety of the U.S. labor force and reduce productivity.

Trump Job Growth Is 99.8% Private Sector — Quarter of Biden Jobs Were in Government.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Economic and employment data show 99.8 percent of the job growth since President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration in January has come in the private sector, compared to just 75 percent under the final two years of the former Biden government.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald Trump, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

📍 Where & When: United States, May 2024.

💬 Key Quote: “Jobs are up, unemployment is down, wages are increasing, and inflation is dead,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

⚠️ Impact: The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, with nearly all growth occurring in the private sector, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 percent, and wages for private-sector workers also saw a notable increase.

IN FULL:

Private sector job growth surged during the first six months of President Donald J. Trump‘s second term. Employment data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows 99.8 percent of job growth has been in the private sector, compared to just 75 percent during former President Joe Biden‘s last two years in office.

The data underpins claims that much of the job growth touted by the former Biden government was the direct result of the increase in federal government spending and not an actual expansion of the U.S. economy. Notably, the job numbers released during Biden’s term saw a number of post-facto corrections, with a benchmark revision in August 2024 revising the total jobs between April 2023 and March 2024 downward by nearly one million.

“Jobs are up, unemployment is down, wages are increasing, and inflation is dead. More than 139,000 good jobs were added to the private sector in May, all accounted for by American-born workers. Americans should continue to trust in President Trump, who continues to beat expectations,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement regarding last month’s jobs data. The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, with nearly all growth occurring in the private sector, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 percent, and wages for private-sector workers also saw a notable increase.

The Biden government used high levels of new government employment to give the impression that the U.S. economy and labor market were stronger than expected. However, the high federal government spending required to expand public sector employment likely exacerbated inflation, which has now almost entirely subsided under President Trump.

Arrested Migrants Defended by LA Rioters Include Killers, Pedophiles.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Many of the illegals being defended by rioters in Los Angeles are serious criminals, including murderers and child rapists.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), illegal alien criminals, pro-illegal alien rioters.

📍 Where & When: The White House released information about the criminals on June 9.

💬 Key Quote: “Democrats like [Governor] Gavin Newsom and [Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused—and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers.” — White House statement.

⚠️ Impact: The information exposes Democrats, rioters, and others opposing ICE operations as favoring dangerous criminals over the safety of American citizens.

IN FULL:

Several of those migrants being defended by the Los Angeles rioters are serious criminals, including convicted murderers, rapists, and child molesters. The White House has released a statement outlining the criminal history of some of the migrants who were detained.

Mexican illegal Eswin Uriel Castro, for example, was convicted of both child molestation and being armed with a deadly weapon. He also has prior convictions for robbery and domestic violence, and was already deported before.

Cielo Vivar-Ubaldo, another Mexican, heads convictions for sex with a minor, drug-related convictions, and a hit and run. Like Castro, he was also previously deported from the United States.

Cuong Chanh Phan, a Vietnamese national, is a known gang member and has been convicted of second-degree murder.

The Trump Administration released the details of over a dozen criminals, saying they had all been taken off the streets by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies within the last several days.

“Democrats like [Governpr] Gavin Newsom and [Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused—and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers,” the White House said in the statement.

The multi-day riots in Los Angeles are in defense of these dangerous criminals, ironically, including an illegal alien who took part in the unrest. Russell Gomez-Dzul, a Mexican national, was arrested for assaulting a federal official.

GOP Lawmakers Want to Raise Remittance Tax After Mexico Makes Threats.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: GOP lawmakers are advocating for a significant increase in a proposed tax on remittances sent by immigrants in the U.S. to their home countries, following critical remarks by Mexico’s president.

👥 Who’s Involved: Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

📍 Where & When: U.S. Senate, ongoing deliberations on the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Sheinbaum’s remarks surfaced in a viral clip over the weekend.

💬 Key Quote: “The House’s Big Beautiful Bill addressed the urgent need for a remittance tax. But we can go further. I’m introducing legislation to quadruple the proposed remittance tax—from 3.5 percent to 15 percent,” said Sen. Eric Schmitt.

⚠️ Impact: The proposed tax could generate $26 billion over a decade, affecting remittance flows to Mexico, which received $64.7 billion in 2024.

IN FULL:

Republican lawmakers are pushing to dramatically increase a proposed tax on remittances sent by migrants in the U.S. to their home countries, following remarks by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum opposing the measure. The proposal, part of President Donald J. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate, initially called for a 3.5 percent tax on remittances from noncitizens. The newest proposal would see remittances taxed at 15 percent.

Sheinbaum’s criticism of the tax, captured in a viral video over the weekend, saw her declare, “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.” While her use of the term “mobilize” remains unclear, it has prompted a strong reaction from U.S. lawmakers.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) announced plans to introduce legislation to increase the tax rate to 15 percent, citing Sheinbaum’s comments as a catalyst. “The House’s Big Beautiful Bill addressed the urgent need for a remittance tax. But we can go further. I’m introducing legislation to quadruple the proposed remittance tax—from 3.5 percent to 15 percent,” Schmitt stated on X (formerly Twitter). He added, “America is not the world’s piggy bank. And we don’t take kindly to threats.”

The tax is projected to generate approximately $26 billion over the next ten years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Remittances, a key revenue source for many developing nations, are particularly significant for Mexico, which received $64.7 billion in such transfers in 2024, making it the second-largest recipient globally, behind India.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) also supported raising the tax, responding to Sheinbaum’s comments by writing, “New reason to amend the Senate bill to tax remittances at a lot higher rate…” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) echoed the sentiment, saying, “Raise the remittances!!”

WATCH: Trump Unveils Special Savings Accounts for American Children.

PULSE POINTS:

❓ What Happened: President Donald J. Trump unveiled “Trump Accounts,” a plan in the “one big beautiful bill” to give $1,000 to newborns’ tax-deferred stock market accounts, with support from industry leaders.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, Dell CEO Michael Dell, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, and various industry leaders.

📍 Where & When: Announced at the Invest America roundtable on Monday, June 9, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “This is a pro-family initiative that will help millions of Americans harness the strength of our economy, to lift up the next generation,” Trump said.

⚠️ Impact: The Trump Accounts align with Trump’s America First agenda, boosting family wealth and economic growth while countering leftist policies with private-sector support.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump has outlined his plan for special “Trump Accounts,” included in the “one big beautiful bill” making its way through Congress. These accounts will provide American babies with $1,000 in savings, pegged to the stock market, at birth.

“For every U.S. Citizen born after December 31, 2024, before January 1, 2029, the federal government will make a one-time contribution of $1,000 into a tax-deferred account that will track the overall stock market,” the President explained at the Invest America roundtable on Monday.

“They’ll be open for additional private contributions each year from family, friends, parents, employers, churches, private foundations, and more,” he continued, adding: “This is a pro-family initiative that will help millions of Americans harness the strength of our economy, to lift up the next generation.”

It is intended that children should be able to access their Trump Accounts at age 18 to help pay for education, training, or their first home, with the balance becoming available in full when they turn 30. The scheme received backing from several industry leaders at the roundtable, including Dell CEO Michael Dell and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon.

Hundreds of Marines Mobilized to Restore Order in LA: Report.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A battalion of U.S. Marines is reportedly being mobilized to relieve National Guard soldiers tasked with protecting federal property amid violent pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, California.

👥 Who’s Involved: The U.S. Marine Corps, President Donald J. Trump, Governor Gavin Newsom (D), Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), the California National Guard, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and violent pro-illegal immigrant rioters.

📍 Where & When: The riots began in Los Angeles over the weekend, while reports of a possible mobilization of the Marine battalion first surfaced late Monday afternoon on June 9, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: It is believed the Marines will relieve some of the National Guard soldiers who have previously been deployed to protect federal property, though, unless President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, neither the Guard troops nor the Marines are legally allowed to arrest and detain any rioters.

IN FULL:

A battalion of Marines, estimated to number around 700, is allegedly being mobilized to join 2,000 National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles, California, to secure and protect federal property amid ongoing pro-illegal immigration riots in the city. The detachment, believed to originate from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California, comes after a weekend of violent riots broke out across Los Angeles, with demonstrators setting fire to cars, blocking highways, and attempting to storm a federal illegal immigration detention facility.

Currently, 2,000 members of the National Guard have been called up in California, though only about 300 of them have been deployed to the streets. Notably, this move came after the Democratic Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, resisted dispatching the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to restore order until the situation had already spiraled out of control. So far, over 150 people have been arrested by the LAPD, and a number of businesses and other properties have been damaged.

The National Guard soldiers and Marines are being tasked with property protection only. Under law, they are not allowed to engage in policing action on American soil unless President Donald J. Trump invokes the Insurrection Act. Already, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is suing the Trump administration, seeking a federal court order blocking the federalization and deployment of the National Guard soldiers.

Notably, the National Pulse reported earlier on Monday that the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), one of the lead organizers of the demonstrations, received nearly $34 million in grants from California and has strong ties to the Democrats.

Violent anti-ICE and pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations have broken out beyond Los Angeles, with 60 individuals being arrested in San Francisco.

‘I Would Do It’ — Trump Open to Border Czar Homan Arresting Newsom.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump commented on the escalating feud between Border Czar Tom Homan and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, suggesting he would arrest Newsom in Homan’s position.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, Border Czar Tom Homan, California Governor Gavin Newsom.

📍 Where & When: The exchange occurred over the weekend, with Trump speaking Monday on the White House lawn.

💬 Key Quote: “I would do it if I was Tom, I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing,” President Trump told the media.

⚠️ Impact: Despite goading Homan to arrest him, Newsom is not complaining that Trump’s comments are “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism” and pleading with right-wing media personalities to defend him.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump addressed the ongoing clash between his administration’s Border Czar Tom Homan and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), after Homan vowed to arrest anyone obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, including state officials, and Newsom responded by daring Homan to arrest him. The dispute comes amid pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, with Newsom moving to sue to block the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to restore order.

Governor Newsom, a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, told MSNBC, “The hell with this guy [Homan]. Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy.”

He added, “I care about my community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up. They need to stop, and we need to push back.”

On Monday, President Trump was asked on the White House lawn whether Homan should take Newsom up on his challenge. Trump responded, “I would do it if I was Tom, I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing.”

The president also criticized Newsom’s governance, calling him “grossly incompetent” while acknowledging that he personally likes the California governor. “He’s done a terrible job, look—I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everybody knows. All you have to do is look at the little railroad he’s building. It’s about a hundred times over budget.”

“We’re putting a flagpole over there,” he continued, referring to a new installation at the White House. “Under budget. I always do under budget.”

Despite previously goading Homan to arrest him, Newsom was extremely agitated by Trump’s remarks, writing on social media, “This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, this is a line we cannot cross as a nation—this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

He later pleaded with Fox News media personality Sean Hannity to come to his aid.

WATCH: Democrat Lawmaker Confesses That She’s an Illegal Immigrant.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Minnesota State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D) revealed that her father committed immigration fraud, meaning she and her parents are illegal immigrants.

👥 Who’s Involved: Rep. Kaohly Vang Her and other Minnesota lawmakers.

📍 Where & When: The remarks were made on Monday, June 9, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Rep. Her said.

⚠️ Impact: While it appears that Representative Her is technically a naturalized U.S. citizen, the admission that her family committed immigration fraud in the course of attaining citizenship could result in federal action to denaturalize the Minnesota Democrat, resulting in the lawmaker being disqualified from office.

IN FULL:

A Democrat lawmaker in the Minnesota state House of Representatives admitted during a floor debate on Monday that she is an illegal immigrant. State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D), during a debate on expanding illegal immigrant eligibility for MinnesotaCare, revealed that her father had committed immigration fraud, listing his grandmother as his mother, as the latter was deceased.

“Because his mother had died, my father—as the one processing the paperwork—put my grandmother down as his mother,” Rep. Her stated on the Minnesota House floor, apparently alluding to fraud committed on immigration paperwork. She continued: “And so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country.”

Minnesota law stipulates that any person who holds office must be eligible to vote in state elections. Notably, only United States citizens can cast a ballot for state positions in Minnesota. This would suggest that Kaohly Vang Her, who came to the U.S. as a Hmong refugee, is ineligible to serve in the state legislature.

“My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here,” the Minnesota Democrat lawmaker said, adding: “My family broke the law to come here. I never knew that. I just learned that now.”

While Rep. Her appears to technically be a naturalized United States citizen, that status could be called into question as, by her own admission, her father made false statements when attaining legal residency in the country. Such acts can result in the federal government taking action to denaturalize an individual or individuals determined to have made false statements or concealed material facts on their immigration application.

Toxic Threat After Pro-Migrant Rioters Burn Google’s Self-Driving Electric Taxis.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Violent pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, California, targeted Waymo autonomous electric vehicles, setting several on fire over the weekend.

👥 Who’s Involved: Rioters, Waymo (a Google subsidiary), Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), and California Highway Patrol.

📍 Where & When: Downtown Los Angeles, Sunday afternoon, particularly near Los Angeles Street between Arcadia and Alameda streets.

💬 Key Quote: “Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement warning the public to stay away from the burning vehicles.

⚠️ Impact: At least five Waymo vehicles were targeted, highlighting the dangers presented by electric vehicles’ batteries when compromised.

IN FULL:

Pro-illegal immigrant rioters in downtown Los Angeles turned their attention to Waymo autonomous vehicles on Sunday, vandalizing and setting several of the driverless taxis ablaze. The incidents occurred as violent demonstrations against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) escalated in the Civic Center area, with some far-left agitators spilling onto the 101 Freeway, forcing its closure for several hours.

Law enforcement officers from the California Highway Patrol worked to disperse the crowd, detaining multiple rioters. Meanwhile, a group of protesters specifically targeted Waymo vehicles parked on Los Angeles Street near Arcadia and Alameda streets. Witnesses reported seeing rioters slashing tires, smashing windows, and spray-painting anti-ICE messages on the cars.

The situation escalated further when three of the five vehicles were set on fire, sending thick black smoke into the air. Protesters reportedly used skateboards to break windows and makeshift flamethrowers to ignite the interiors of the vehicles. Lime electric scooters were also thrown into the flames, adding to the destruction.

The Los Angeles Police Department warned the public to avoid the area, stating: “Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby.”

Waymo, a Google subsidiary, has been operating its self-driving taxi service in Los Angeles since November, following launches in San Francisco and Phoenix. The company confirmed it was in contact with law enforcement and expressed concern for public safety.

This is not the first time Waymo vehicles have been targeted. Previous incidents in San Francisco involved passengers reporting harassment and obstruction. Most of these have involved predators attempting to follow or force entry into an autonomous vehicle carrying a female passenger.

In at least one incident, a female passenger, being followed by a group of men in another car and unable to stop or divert her Waymo ride, called 911, only to be told by police they could not respond to a moving vehicle. Waymo claims such incidents are rare.
