LOS ANGELES (The Hill) — The White House said on Wednesday that 330 immigrants have been arrested in Los Angeles since Friday.

“As of June 6, there have been 330 arrests of undocumented immigrants connected to the riots in Los Angeles,” stated White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt during a briefing on Wednesday.

“One-hundred and thirteen of those illegal aliens had prior criminal convictions, she added.

In the initial months of the Trump administration, a stringent approach to immigration has been evident, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests surpassing 100,000 this year alone, according to a White House representative.

“There’s been 157 people arrested for assault and obstruction-related charges,” Leavitt said during the Wednesday briefing.

Over the weekend, President Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troopers to Los Angeles in an effort to control the widespread protests in the city. These demonstrations were in response to local ICE operations conducted as part of the administration’s intensified immigration enforcement.

“If our troops didn’t go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now, just like so much of their housing burned to the ground,” Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, federal prosecutors announced charges against two men accused of possessing Molotov cocktails amid recent Los Angeles protests in response to immigration raids. 

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Tuesday there were over 100 arrests Monday night amid recent protests, with 96 people arrested over “Failure to Disperse.”
