White home press secretary Carolina Leavitt said the president signed a presidential memorandum authorising the deployment of the National Guard, citing attacks on ICE officers and “lawlessness allowed to develop”.
She reiterated the administration's position of zero tolerance against force against law enforcement.
Car Trumpa on Borders, Tom Homan, who presently oversees operations on site, said Fox News:
"We will introduce the National defender tonight.
We will proceed our work. We will defy these people.""Americans are about law enforcement. And I will repeat, we will not apologize for this”, emphasized Homan.
"You have your rights under the First Amendment, but if you cross this obstacle line, or contact officers or destruct property, you will be charged."
Los Angeles region Sheriff Robert Luna said his deputies initially responded to ‘taking over the street’But they were later summoned by national agents who said they were attacked.
“The crowd yet increased to 350–400 people, and any started throwing objects at agents” – told Luna to reporters.He stressed that his department was not active in the enforcement of immigration rules, but supported fellow officers under duress.
Mayor Peggy Lemons of Paramount criticized the national government for not informing local authorities in advance.
“There is no communication... so that we can cope better and be better prepared to educate our residents” “She said.
“People are just scared.
And erstwhile you do things the way it looks, it is no wonder that chaos will prevail.”The protest followed 3 immigration raids conducted in Los Angeles on Friday, which led to 44 administrative arrests and detention of California's president, David Huerta, on charges of obstruction of work.Secretary of interior safety Kristi Noah called the riots ‘bunke’ and warned against chasing anyone who “he will rise his hand on a law enforcement officer”.
FBI Deputy manager Dan Bongino added:
“You bring chaos, and we will bring handcuffs.”
