(DNCF)—Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler slammed Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom for prioritizing illegal immigrants over local small businesses amid ongoing riots in Los Angeles in an exclusive sit-down interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Many stores in downtown Los Angeles have been looted and vandalized after thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to numerous raids in the city led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Additionally, a curfew imposed by Democratic Mayor Karen Bass is cutting into the profits of local businesses.
“President Trump is siding with American citizens, trying to keep them safe. And Governor Gavin Newsom is siding with violent, criminal illegal aliens trying to destroy our cities, our country, the fabric of our country, burning our flags, threatening our people, throwing Molotov cocktails at police,” Loeffler told the DCNF. “So, we’ve seen hundreds of arrests of illegal criminal aliens at that site, others across the country. And so, my message is: The SBA will not stand for that.”
On Monday, Loeffler called on Newsom to request an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan Declaration, which would allow small businesses affected by the riots to apply for a low-interest, long-term loan from the agency to assist in rebuilding. So far, Newsom, whose state has the largest population of illegal immigrants in the country, has not accepted the SBA’s help.
Loeffler announced shortly after the violence erupted that the SBA would be relocating its regional offices out of Los Angeles and other sanctuary cities.
“Everywhere from L.A. to Atlanta, in these sanctuary cities that will not cooperate with ICE, we will not be able to provide services safely if the local leaders won’t keep their citizens safe,” Loeffler said. “We’re going to locate where it’s safe for our employees and our small businesses to be.”
Newsom’s office did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
Since being sworn in as SBA Administrator in February, Loeffler said the agency implemented “common-sense” measures to ensure that its resources are allocated exclusively to American citizens, including adding citizenship requirements and a verification process to loan applications. According to Loeffler, citizens from 19 countries received COVID loans administered by the SBA, resources she said were “meant for America’s small businesses.”
Amid the unrest in Los Angeles, President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 California National Guardsmen and hundreds of Marines to help restore order. In response, Newsom sued the Trump administration and claimed during a Tuesday address that “Democracy is under assault right before our eyes.”
“We are here trying to advocate for small businesses. And he’s turning away from them in support of the criminal illegal aliens,” Loeffler said of Newsom.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
