FBI Director I wish Patel A statement was issued on Saturday night as a immigration-related protest for the second night at a suburb of Los Angeles. Patel warned that anyone who attacks the law enforcement officers including federal agents will have to face jail time.“Kill a policeman, you are going to jail … no matter where you have come from, how do you reach here, or do the movement talk to you. If the local police force will not return our men and women to the thin blue line, we will do @Fbi.” Patel wrote in a post on X.This warning occurred after unrest on federal immigration enforcement raids, causing clashes between protesters and agents. The protesters allegedly surrounded federal vehicles outside a home depot, which was being used as a staging area. Federal agents in the gas mask deployed flash-bang grenade and tear gas to disperse the crowd, and a portion of the freeway was briefly closed.California governor Gavin Newsom condemned the federal response, called the deployment of agents “objectively inflammatory”, and accused the Trump administration of inciting tension.Patel’s remarks attracted criticism online, social media users indicated what they called a double standard. Many people, unlike their difficult message with generosity shown to the rioters of January 6,2021, were waived by Trump despite assaulting law enforcement officials.“As long as you’re not for Trump, a user responded to Patel’s post. Another couple, “until you are trying to turn an election.”
