Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem deemed Los Angeles “a city of criminals” as protests continued on Monday night.
The latest demonstrations began when agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out raids in the city’s garment district, seeking to arrest undocumented immigrants working in the area. ICE agents also conducted a sweep outside a Los Angeles Home Depot, looking to snatch up migrant laborers.
In response to the protests, President Donald Trump has federalized 4,000 National Guard soldiers and deployed 700 Marines to the Los Angeles area. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have criticized the move, over which state Attorney General Rob Bonta has sued the Trump administration. The last time a president federalized a state National Guard over the objections of its governor was 1965, when Lyndon Johnson invoked the Insurrection Act to protect Civil Rights marchers in Alabama.
