• ICE arrested hundreds of undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles in early June, including individuals convicted of murder, sexual assault and drug distribution.
• Hours of violent protests followed the operations, with rioters setting fires and throwing Molotov cocktails before President Trump deployed over 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to restore order.
• On June 17 Schwarzenegger told The View that immigrants must enter the U.S. legally and “behave like a guest” by respecting laws and community norms.
• He called on Democrats and Republicans to work together on comprehensive immigration reform that creates more legal visas and focuses enforcement on criminal offenders.
• Schwarzenegger stressed that immigrants owe their communities volunteer service, from after-school programs to Special Olympics, as a way to give back.
