Maxine Waters Accused Of Putting On A Show: MAGA Celebrates as Officials Shut Her Out During Los Angeles ICE Protests

Intense demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles over the weekend following a series of contentious immigration raids and arrests. The situation escalated after President Donald Trump dispatched the California National Guard to the city—an unprecedented move in decades, executed without a request from state leadership.Prominent figures, such as Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), found themselves embroiled in the turmoil as protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surged. On Sunday, Waters faced dismissal from agents who barred her entrance to the Metropolitan Detention Center, where she aimed to visit David Huerta, the SEIU Los Angeles leader detained during the protests.“I came to check on David Huerta,” Waters asserted to the guards, but they rebuffed her. Commentators on social media ignited heated debates regarding her access rights against the backdrop of the Appropriations Act of 2024. Waters, expressing concern over armed troops, criticized Trump's actions as dangerous and dishonorable.
