Protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies erupted following raids in Los Angeles, with demonstrations spreading across cities like Seattle and Chicago. While most protests were peaceful, some escalated leading to clashes with police and instances of vandalism. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned the raids, emphasizing the fear they instigated among families. She also distanced the immigrant-supporting cause from violent acts during the protests. In response to the anticipated rallies, Texas Governor Greg Abbott called in National Guard troops to major cities to maintain order amid ongoing tensions.
When you raid Home Depots and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armored caravans through our streets, you're not trying to keep anyone safe; you're trying to cause fear and panic.
I believe that anybody that's involved in violence, or looting, or vandalism is not supporting the cause of immigrants because they know that this can trigger an even greater reaction from the administration.
