A woke Guatemala-born congresswoman went berserk in response to the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, saying that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers should “get the f— out of L.A.,” and drawing ire from conservatives online, who slammed the leftist lawmaker for her profane remark.
For context, Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) posted a video on TikTok on June 7, 2025, in which she glared at the camera and admonished ICE agents to “get the f— out of L.A.,” adding that she wanted order to be restored in the city. The brief clip, which was just five seconds long, was later shared on X by the comedy account Libs of TikTok, which ripped the leftist lawmaker for her immature behavior.
Furthermore, Rep. Torres posted her video in the midst of ongoing violent riots in downtown Los Angeles, which broke out on June 6 in response to the arrest of several illegal immigrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. In response to the chaos, President Trump sent an official memorandum to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering him to dispatch “at least 2,000” National Guard units in downtown Los Angeles.
Predictably, Rep. Torres’s brief f-bomb-fueled rant was not well-received online, with the Claremont Institute’s Jeremy Carl pointing out, “Torres first came to America on a tourist Visa.” Another X user quipped, “Non-American in Congress demands Americans surrender America to invasion.”
Moreover, Rep. Torres was far from the only leftist lawmaker who came under fire for her response to the riots. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass released a statement on X on June 6, saying, “This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles.” She added, “As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place.”
After Mayor Bass made her statement online, conservatives savagely roasted her in the comments, with the X user storm lampooning the woke mayor by writing, “’This morning, we received reports of federal officers enforcing federal law in the city of Los Angeles. We will not stand for this!’ – Karen Bass.”
In addition, Vice President JD Vance called out woke lawmakers like Rep. Torres and Mayor Bass online, saying, “Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil.” He added, “Time to pass President Trump’s beautiful bill and further secure the border.”

In response to VP Vance’s post on X, conservative influencer Gunther Eagleman called for justice, saying, “If they’re Americans, imprison them. If they are foreigners, expel them judiciously to CECOT. No exceptions.” Another X user added, “Send in the US Military to get control of California and deport all illegals.”
