A so-called “student-led march” saw a mob set upon federal agents in Los Angeles, sending one to the hospital over opposition to immigration enforcement.

In recent weeks, the indoctrination camps, better known as government-run schools, have found high schoolers and below welcoming an excuse to cut class, often with little to no pushback from administrators. Friday, one such protest in the City of Angels epitomized the “fiery but mostly peaceful” categorization of corporate media as the anti-ICE activists could be seen attacking a federal agent they had backed up to the wall outside the detention center.

Footage captured by news helicopter showed at least one individual swinging a pole of some kind at the agent multiple times, prompting him to draw his baton while other agents brandished less-than-lethal armaments in defense, scaring the attackers off. Moments later, the agent could be seen wiping his brow and checking his hand to see what was on it before having words with a protester wearing a keffiyeh.

It was unclear if that agent was the one hospitalized or if it was another, as a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told the New York Post’s west coast counterpart, The California Post, “On February 13, a group of about 200-300 rioters and agitators gathered outside an ICE building in Los Angeles. They threw objects including rocks at law enforcement. One ICE officer was hit in the head with a rock thrown and was injured.”

“Two Federal Protective Services officers were injured, one in the hospital with concussion and the other with a cut over his eye. The rioters remain at large,” the spokesperson detailed.

The LAPD’s Central Division reported that LAFD had responded to aid the federal agents and, shortly thereafter, the “Suspects who attacked the Federal Agents have blended into the March.”

Taking to X Friday, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli also shared the footage from KTLA and begged the question, “Where are the parents? We will arrest and charge anyone who assaults an agent, minors included.”

Students were seen waving flags representing various countries and bearing signs with messages like, “Honk if you hate Nazis” and “F*ck Trump.”

Providing an update on the federal response to protests, he later doubled down on his point, stating, “Based on the increased violence targeting federal law enforcement, we are surging officers to our downtown Los Angeles buildings. I have directed them to make arrests on the spot for anyone committing a crime, regardless of whether they are an adult or a teenager. If arrested, you will spend the weekend in a federal detention facility. We have plenty of bed space.”

Similarly, Essayli had told the Post, “We have video of the suspects, and they will be arrested and charged, regardless of whether they are minors. The parents, teachers, unions, and administrators facilitating students ditching school to attack federal personnel bear responsibility and should be ashamed of themselves.”

The violence demonstrated in Los Angeles comes as it was reported that a student in Chicago had been assaulted for counterprotesting his peers by holding up a sign that read, “I Love ICE.”

“Imagine,” stated Essayli, “how successful our children would be if schools put as much effort into educating them as they do into indoctrinating them.”
