This is what law and order looks like, America. After years of liberal permissiveness turning our streets into playgrounds for anarchists and criminals, President Trump’s decisive actions in Los Angeles have delivered a clear message: violence against our law enforcement officers will not be tolerated.
Just days ago, violent riots broke out in LA as radical anti-ICE activists took to the streets, enraged by President Trump’s courageous crackdown on illegal immigration and deportations. These aren’t peaceful protesters seeking justice—they are rioters, thugs who felt empowered under Biden’s weak, permissive policies. Today, under Trump, they’re finally being held accountable.
The shocking video released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offers a stark illustration of the bold response our law enforcement is now empowered to take. Agents rammed their vehicles into the car of suspect Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho, who DHS officials identify as the man who brazenly punched a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer. This wasn’t some accidental collision—it was a precise and targeted maneuver to neutralize a violent threat.
“This was no hit-and-run,” stated Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin bluntly. “This was a targeted arrest of a violent rioter who punched a CBP officer.” When federal agents moved to apprehend Cerno-Camacho for assault, he attempted to flee, forcing agents to act swiftly and decisively to bring him in. Americans tired of seeing rioters escape consequences can now take comfort knowing we have leadership willing to take strong steps to ensure justice is served.

The footage itself is remarkable: two unmarked SUVs expertly cornering the white sedan in broad daylight, federal agents in tactical gear leaping into action with their weapons drawn. The suspect, recognizing he was cornered and outmatched, surrendered with his hands high, eventually cuffed and hauled away in custody. It was a powerful sight and a vivid reminder that our law enforcement professionals are ready, willing, and able to protect this nation from the violence and lawlessness that liberals let fester.
This arrest represents more than just justice for one isolated crime. It is symbolic of a broader shift back to law and order and an affirmation that America will not tolerate violence against its brave men and women in uniform. For four years under Biden and his allies, we watched helplessly as criminals and radicals attacked law enforcement without repercussions. Now, under President Trump’s strong leadership, that disgraceful era is decisively over.
The recent deployment of 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 US Marines to Los Angeles by President Trump is another testament to this administration’s commitment to restoring order and safety for law-abiding Americans. It’s clear the President understands that violent rioters and radical agitators must be confronted head-on, not placated or excused by politicians desperate for votes. Trump’s resolve sends a powerful signal to would-be rioters nationwide: violence and chaos will no longer go unchecked.
Still, many questions remain unanswered about Cerno-Camacho—his background, affiliations, and the specific charges he faces. The DHS has yet to release detailed information. But regardless of what further details emerge, one fact remains crystal clear: this administration takes the safety and dignity of our law enforcement officers seriously, and it will deploy every tool necessary to ensure justice.
Americans have had enough of lawlessness and disorder. We have watched for too long as Biden’s allies allowed radical mobs to run rampant, undermining the safety and security of our communities. President Trump has decisively reversed that dangerous trend, sending federal agents, National Guardsmen, and Marines to take control and restore peace.
Today, conservatives across this nation can feel proud and assured: there is a leader in the White House who stands unequivocally behind law enforcement and public safety, willing to take bold steps to protect our streets and communities. The arrest of this violent anti-ICE rioter is a powerful reminder that, under Trump, criminals will face the full force of the law.
