In the city of Paramount,which is about 16 miles from downtown Los Angeles, there was a conflict between autohrities and protesters close to a Home Depot where federal agents had erected a makeshift office for the Department of Homeland Security.
Authorities unfurled tear gas, pepper balls, and explosives at protesters, who fought back with rocks and cement in some of the area’s most chaotic times since that riots that followed the verdicts in the police officers in the Rodney King case in April 1992.
Immigration authorities had conducted sweeps Saturday near the aforementioned Home Depot, as well as in the fashion district section of Los Angeles, arresting more than 100 immigrants on Trump’s order.
Among those taken into custody included a the union leader, who was accused of impeding law-enforcement as he protested ICE’s actions.
In a statement, the White House said Trump would not hesitate to use the National Guard in an effort to address ‘the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,’ but did not provide a specific timetable for such an action to occur.
Newsom said via X that the president’s words were ‘purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.’
