SPECIAL REPORT
MURRIETA, California - GMN - After a long and hard fought day in the baking California sun, the Department of Homeland Security and US Border Patrol were forced to bend to the will of the residents of Murrieta, California, as federal bureaucrats made the decision to redirect immigrant bus convoys at 10pm PST – to a facility at the San Ysidro district of the City of San Diego.
The atmosphere was of tension between DHS and US Border patrol at the federal processing compound in Murrieta was further inflamed yesterday morning by hundreds of college students and radical pro-immigration activists from La Raza, the Communist Revolution Party and other Occupy-linked groups, who were buses in from Los Angeles and positioned opposite peaceful local Murrieta residents at the front gates of the facility. Confrontational leftist activists were burning American flags and also mutilating a number of small flags that local residents had pinned to the DHS facility fence.
The move to insert outside provocateurs into the mix backfired however, after radical leftists attacked a 70 year old local female Patriot protester.
When a local Murrieta police officer intervened in the altercation, left-wing youths then set upon and attacked the officer which ended in ten young radicals being subsued in handcuffs and arrested. GMN reports rolled up to the scene as the arrests were being made. Watch the arrests here:
After local police subdued the left-wing activists and removed them from the scene, the protest area at Fig Street remained peaceful and orderly throughout the remaining afternoon and evening.
70 year old resident Kathleen Rodriqeuez was unharmed by the incident. She explains, “They didn’t like my hat (American flag). The young people came and they were trying to provoke a reaction from me because they thought I was an easy target.”

By night fall the protest had split into two main camps and the local residents remained vigilant throughout the evening until the news the DHS could not drop 3 buses full of immigrant there reached the camp. Residents cheered at the victory, but are still prepared to battle on and protest the federal government’s forced immigration crisis until a resolution is resolved in Murrieta.
GMN radio host Pete Santilli gave this interview to NBC, and here is the unedited, non-soundbite version:
