Cops do battle with anti-ICE protesters in L.A.

(Los Angeles, CA) – Parts of Los Angeles are on edge today after three days of protests against the Trump’s administration’s ICE immigration crackdown in the city. Thousands were on the streets Sunday for loud mostly peaceful protests. In other spots though, tensions flared as police used tear gas and rubber bullets to try to control the crowds. Police say some demonstrators were throwing backpacks filled with pieces of cement at L.A. cops.

President Trump is deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. It’s the first time a president has used that authority since the 1992 L.A. riots, and the first time since 1965 without the request of a governor. California Governor Gavin Newsom called the activation of the guard an effort to “manufacture chaos and violence.”

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is calling out Governor Gavin Newsom. She says there would have been no need for President Trump to deploy National Guard troops in downtown Los Angeles if Newsom had done his job. She also says President Trump chose to act because he knows Newsom “makes bad decisions.”
