Los Angeles anti-ICE protests: Trump menace in opposition to ‘riots and looters’ after immigration raids spark fury on LA streets | EUROtoday

President Donald Trump has threatened to make use of the federal authorities to crush anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles sparked by a weekend immigration raid within the metropolis.

The president mentioned the “RIOTS & LOOTERS” can be handled “the way it should be solved!!!”

“If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!” Trump wrote.

When discussing protesters up to now, the president as soon as quipped that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

Earlier on Friday, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, mentioned he plans to ship the National Guard to Los Angeles to fight protests in opposition to ICE that started this weekend following immigration raids within the metropolis.

“We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,” Homan informed Fox News.

California Governor Gavin Newsom responded, calling Homan’s menace “purposefully inflammatory.”

“That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,” he mentioned in an announcement. “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice.”
