Tense confrontations between police and demonstrators in L.A. continued for a second day on Saturday, in response to operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents

Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said he plans to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to combat protests against ICE that began this weekend following immigration raids in the city.

“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 told Fox News.

His comments come after Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller railed against the protests, calling them an “insurrection” against the United States.

    I guess I should have worded that better. The danger is to the citizens defending our immigrant community from ICE raids.

    Americans will die under Trump in other ways too like measles, lack of healthcare, food insecurity, pollution, violence, etc.

      That’s not what I was referring to.

      Resistance fighters.
