President Donald Trump’s administration said it would deploy 2,000 National Guard troops on Saturday as federal agents in Los Angeles would have to fight against the protesters the next day after immigration raids.
Security agents fought around 100 protesters in the Paramount Area in southeastern Los Angeles, where some protesters showed Mexican flags and others covered a mouthful of breath.
Trump’s border, Tom Hoon, told Fox News that the National Guard will be deployed to Los Angeles Saturday evening.
California Governor Gwen Newsom called the decision “deliberately inflammatory”.
“If California Governor Gavin Newskum, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Boss, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows that they cannot, then the federal government will move the issue forward, riots and looting, the way it should be resolved !!!” Trump posted his truth on social platform.
Protests in Los Angeles, where census data suggests that a significant part of the population is a Spanish and foreign origin, against Trump’s Republican White House, which has made immigration a second term.
According to Reuters witnesses, at the end of the afternoon, authorities started detaining some protesters. There was no immediate official information about an arrest.
Video footage shows dozens of gas masks shown to dozens of green security personnel, which is parked on the road on the road, causing small canister gas clouds with shopping vehicles.
“Now they know that they can’t go anywhere in the country where our people are, and our workers try to kidnap their people – they cannot do so without organized and intense resistance.”
On Friday night, immigration and customs enforcement agents launched the first round of protests on Friday night after the implementation of the city and at least 44 people on the alleged immigration violations.
Immigration Hard Liner and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, wrote on the X that Friday’s demonstrations were “rebellion against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.” On Saturday, he described the day’s protest as a “violent uprising”.
Immigration Crackdown
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement about Friday’s demonstrations that “a thousand rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and attacked ice law enforcement officers, attacked tires, bad buildings, and taxpayers’ property.”
Reuters could not confirm DHS accounts. Angelica Salis, executive director of the immigrant rights organization, said lawyers did not have access to detainees on Friday, which they called “very disturbing”.
Trump has promised to deport people illegally in the country and close the US Mexico border, in which the White House has set a goal of ice to arrest at least 3,000 migrants daily.
But the crackdown has also caught people living in the country, including some permanent residence, and has led to legal challenges.
In a statement on Saturday about the protests in Paramount, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office said: “It seems that federal law enforcement officers were in the area, and members of the public were gathering for protest.”
Chila’s Salis said the protesters gathered when an ice squad was shown that the parking lots were used as a base near the Paramount Home Depot Store.
The ICE, Homeland Security, and the Los Angeles Police Department did not respond to requests on Saturday to comment on protests or immigration successes.
Television news footage on Friday shows that they resemble un -unimpotable vehicles and are filled with uniform federal agents through Los Angeles Stretts as part of the immigration enforcement operation.
Chela’s Salis said that the home depot stores were raided around the stores, where street shopkeepers and day workers were picked up, as well as in the garment factory and a warehouse.
Democratic mayor of Los Angeles condemned immigration raids.
The boss said in a statement, “I am very angry with what has happened.” “These tactics sow terrorism in our communities and affect the basic principles of security in our city. We will not stand for it.”
