Nearly every House Democrat has voted against a resolution condemning the violent anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots that caused chaos and mayhem throughout Los Angeles earlier this month.
The resolution, introduced by Republican Georgia Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter, aimed to denounce the riots that targeted federal ICE agents, damaged property, and prompted the deployment of the National Guard and U.S. Marines.
“It is our duty in the House of Representatives to send a clear message to those who harm our local and federal law enforcement: You have no place here,” Rep. Carter said in a press release about the resolution.
“As disturbing images emerge from the violent riots in LA, including foreign nationals harming officers while waving other countries’ flags, we in Congress must make our stance perfectly clear. We back the blue, we support our ICE officers, and we will defend our cities from rioting, lawlessness, and destruction.”
Out of the 212 House Democrats, 195 voted against the measure on Friday, with 75 breaking ranks to support it alongside Republicans.
The Los Angeles riots erupted following ICE raids in the county that began on June 6, 2025, which resulted in over 100 arrests of illegal aliens, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Videos of the mayhem featured rioters throwing rocks, setting cars ablaze, and assaulting federal officers. Hundreds of people were arrested on charges ranging from looting to failure to disperse. The unrest, centered in downtown L.A.’s Civic Center, prompted President Donald Trump to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines.
Protests and riots have since spread to cities like Chicago and New York, with more planned nationwide.
