California Congresswoman Maxine Waters has insisted the ongoing riots in Los Angeles are peaceful.

Far-left protesters, criminal opportunists and immigrant activists have descended on the streets of Los Angeles over the past few days in an effort to push back against President Trump’s efforts to deport the millions of people who are illegally residing across the country.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Waters argued that there was “no violence” in any of the protests, despite video evidence to the contrary.

“Even those who were out of step with what we are advocating, peaceful protest, did not create any violence,” Waters said.

“Nobody was shot. Nobody was killed. Get it in your head.”

“So when martial law is called, what are you going to say? I missed the point. Don’t miss the point, you all.”

“Don’t think that somehow, because they called out the National Guard, there was violence.”

“There was no violence. I was on the street. I know.”

”And I went from downtown detention back out into the community talking to people in Paramount, what happened in Compton, what happened in Inglewood.”

Video footage across social media has shown the protesters setting vehicles on fire, assaulting law enforcement and looting local businesses.

Over the weekend, Waters was caught taunting the National Guard and suggesting that they were going to “shoot some kids.”

In another video circulating on X, Waters tried to confront law enforcement officers, only for them to slam the door in her face.

Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,’ United Airlines said in a statement to The Daily Mail.

CBS News reported:

There is a ground stop for United Airlines flights at Chicago O’Hare Airport Wednesday evening.

United said in a statement that a “technology issue” is causing them to hold departures.

“We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue. Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,” the statement continued.

The technical issues are also impacting airports in Denver, Houston, San Francisco and Newark.

Video taken by a passenger at O’Hare shows a line of United planes stopped on the tarmac that have recently landed, waiting because no gates are available.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of Daniel Choi, a US State Department Foreign Service Officer who admitted he dated a senior CCP leader’s daughter and refused to report her.

“I defied my government for love,” Daniel Choi said of his romantic relationship with 27-year-old Joi Zao.

Joi Zao entered the US on a work visa in September 2024.

“Her dad was either a provincial or a federal minister of education. So he’s, like, straight up Communist Party,” Choi said.

“Under federal regulations, Foreign Service Officers are required to report close and continuing contact with foreign nationals from adversarial nations, including China,” the O’Keefe Media Group reported.

Choi admitted he didn’t report her: “I was supposed to, whatever, sort of report what I knew about her, but I always thought that was kind of unfair.”

WATCH:

The State Department responded to the O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover video exposing Choi.

“The incident is under investigation. The Department has zero tolerance for individuals who jeopardize national security by putting their personal interests ahead of our great nation,” the State Department said in a statement.

Later Wednesday, Daniel Choi deleted his LinkedIn profile after OMG’s undercover video exposing his relationship with the a CCP leader’s daughter.
