(Freer Report)—The Trump administration has escalated its crackdown on illegal immigration with targeted ICE operations now reaching into Los Angeles, a city known for its sanctuary policies. This came shortly after President Donald Trump left the state following a visit to the fire-ravaged city.
Starting early Saturday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted pre-dawn raids as part of a broader West Coast initiative aimed at deporting criminal migrants. These operations are expected to occur seven days a week, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The strategy appears to sidestep areas affected by recent wildfires, focusing instead on neighborhoods with a high concentration of undocumented immigrants with criminal records. This move signifies a clear intensification of President Trump’s campaign promise to deport those who have committed crimes within the U.S.
Local officials have expressed their intent to resist these federal actions, highlighting the tension between federal immigration enforcement and local sanctuary city policies. However, the specifics of how they plan to oppose these raids remain unclear.
The expansion into Los Angeles follows similar operations in other major U.S. cities, with Trump’s administration emphasizing the removal of migrants with criminal backgrounds. This has sparked widespread debate regarding immigration policy, sanctuary cities, and the balance between public safety and civil rights.
As these operations continue, the community’s response and the legal challenges that might arise will be closely watched, potentially setting precedents for future immigration enforcement actions across the country.
Considering the early success and steadfastness of both President Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan, it is unlikely that leftist reactions in sanctuary cities will dissuade them from their mission.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
