Los Angeles has become a flashpoint in the national crisis over illegal immigration, with conservative commentator Ben Bergquam and allies accusing the Democratic Party, progressive Catholic leadership, and complicit media of engineering an "intentional invasion” to destabilize the United States and undermine President Donald Trump’s current administration. Calls for mass deportations and the reclaiming of U.S. institutions have intensified.

Operational Summary:
During a recent broadcast from War Room, Ben Bergquam issued a scathing critique of what he and others view as a coordinated attack on America’s sovereignty. Citing rampant illegal immigration, civil unrest, and the willful participation of religious and political institutions, Bergquam declared that the United States is under siege—not by foreign armies, but by domestic collaborators enabling an invasion under the Biden regime.

Bergquam called attention to the ICE office in Los Angeles, now defaced and vandalized, as a symbol of the Left’s contempt for law and order. "They invaded our country,” he said. "Now they have the nerve to claim ICE is invading their communities.” He referenced destroyed windows, graffiti, and homeless encampments as byproducts of progressive governance and sanctuary city policies.

Key Observations:

Democratic Party Accusations:
Bergquam accused the Democratic Party of orchestrating this invasion for political gain. He labeled Antifa, BLM, and now illegal immigrants and certain pro-Palestinian protesters as the "brown shirts” of the Left, used as tools to foment unrest and overwhelm lawful structures.

Religious Institution Involvement:
Bergquam and fellow commentator John Yep blasted the Catholic Church’s leadership, particularly Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, for facilitating the crisis. They highlighted that Catholic Charities received millions in federal grants while turning a blind eye to the chaos at the border and in immigrant-saturated neighborhoods. They accuse church officials of abandoning traditional teachings to gain power through illegal immigrant support.

Moral High Ground Rejected:
Yep directly challenged a statement from Archbishop Gomez, who expressed concern over ICE raids causing fear. "How are we supposed to do this? Ask criminals to turn themselves in?” Yep asked, calling the Archbishop’s response a disingenuous attempt to claim the moral high ground while failing to protect poor Americans.

Institutional Breakdown:
Bergquam emphasized the breakdown of American institutions—church, state, and media—and the need for their restoration under President Trump. He pointed out declining church attendance and said the progressive ideological drift is to blame. "This is all by design,” he warned. "We’re not going to accept sanctuary cities or sanctuary states. Newsom doesn’t get to pick and choose what laws to enforce.”

Implications:
Suppose the populist movement behind President Trump continues to frame the immigration crisis as a national emergency engineered by political elites. In that case, the 2025 election season and policy agenda may center on large-scale deportation, institutional reform, and increased scrutiny of religious organizations involved in migrant assistance. Public support for Trump appears to be rising in response to these events, as polling referenced by Bergquam suggests.

Conclusion:
The current situation in Los Angeles is emblematic of deeper ideological conflict within the United States. Bergquam’s message—backed by visual proof of urban collapse and a rallying cry for institutional reclamation—has become a potent symbol for a growing segment of Americans who believe the nation has been intentionally sabotaged. This crisis, as presented by War Room voices, is political, spiritual, and existential.
