BOB UNANUE And JORGE MARTINEZ: When Lawlessness Reigns In Los Angeles, Hispanics Suffer First

Los Angeles is on fire—again. But this time, it’s not just another headline. It’s a gut punch to every hardworking, law-abiding Hispanic family who believed in the American dream, followed the rules, and came to this country the right way.
The images coming out of Los Angeles are heartbreaking. Looted storefronts. Torched vehicles. Families locked in their homes while criminals roam free. And let’s not ignore where these riots are happening — in predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods like Boyle Heights, Huntington Park, and South Central. These aren’t elite zip codes. These are working-class communities—immigrant communities—being torn apart by the failed immigration policies of the previous administration.
Enough is enough.
What about the millions of Hispanics who came here legally? What about those who stood in line, paid their dues, learned the language, and embraced the American dream? Don’t they deserve safe streets and secure neighborhoods? What about the small business owner who worked 20 years to open a shop, only to see it burned to the ground in one night of lawlessness? They followed the rules. They did everything right. And now they’re watching their neighborhoods destroyed by people who didn’t and by others on the left, including anarchists, radicals, and agitators who exploit chaos for their own agenda.
This chaos isn’t a mystery. It’s not a natural disaster. It’s the direct result of the last administration’s reckless, open-border, soft-on-crime agenda. An agenda that let illegal immigrants flood across our border unchecked. An agenda that empowered radical prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals accountable. An agenda that saw those in charge stand by as violent mobs were glorified and police officers were vilified.
Kamala Harris even once said that these riots are “not going to stop—and they shouldn’t.” That’s not leadership. That’s lunacy.
Now, thankfully, President Donald J. Trump is back in charge. And he isn’t just tweeting. He’s taking decisive action.
The moment the riots broke out in Los Angeles, he deployed the National Guard. He empowered law enforcement. And he made it clear: law and order are not optional. It’s non-negotiable.
