On the ground in Lancaster, Pa. for @townhallcom where riots broke out after an officer shot a suspect who was charging at him with a knife. Buildings that were damaged last night have the broken widows boarded up.
As a bonus, there’s a nice local news station on scene.
A man with an America flag showed up to the BLM protest outside the Lancaster police station. Some people not happy he is here.
One woman throws some of her drink on him and a couple of people were upset she did that.
BLM protesters in Lancaster chant, “Crisis workers, not cops!”
One man in body armor held up a Thin Blue Line flag as Lancaster officers came out of the police building. Some BLM protesters told him to put it away.
Pretty calm so far. Lancaster officers are staying mostly inside the police building and there’s not as any people outside as last night. We’ll see if the calm holds.
Bit of a tense scene in Philadelphia as some Trump supporters are facing off against BLM protesters. One agitator calls one female Trump supporter a “bitch” and a “Nazi.”
Cops are trying to separate the two sides.
There’s an anti-Trump protester in a Trump mask rubbing an American flag in her underwear.
BLM protesters are now marching in the streets of Philadelphia.
I’m done for the night but I’m glad I was able to make a quick visit to the area where the Marine Corps was born on Nov. 10, 1775 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨On the ground at UCLA for @theblaze, as I’m now their new national correspondent: LAPD is now inside the encampment on campus. Protesters moved back but are standing their ground.
Anti-Israel protesters inside the encampment at UCLA lined up with shields to face LAPD officers.
🚨: LAPD officers withdrew from inside the UCLA encampment. Protesters followed them very closely and scuffles broke out. Protesters broke out in celebration once the officers left. Very intense situation.
🧵: A brutal Venezuelan gang beat up cops in NYC, is connected to the Laken Riley case, and the US government allowed them into the country.
Victims of Tren de Aragua explained to me how the gang operates and what needs to happen to stop them.
All of the Venezuelans who we interviewed wanted to remain anonymous. A few others wanted to be interviewed but backed out because they were too scared to say anything, highlighting how much power Tren de Aragua has in the US and Venezuela.
Tren de Aragua is very much connected to the Nicolás Maduro regime, despite actions by the government to indicate otherwise, according to people we interviewed. TDA works as enforcers for the regime, in addition to controlling much of the criminal underworld in Latin America.
On the ground in Eagle Pass, TX. This is a small example of the many debris fields along the US side of the Rio Grande. Illegal immigrants dump their wet clothes and change into a new set after wading across the river.
Meanwhile, groups of illegal immigrants continue to enter into Eagle Pass, resulting in long lines to wait to be processed. This is by far the worst I’ve seen the area.
