Rep. Chu: Trump's ICE raids started the LA protests
Share this @internewscast.com


() A curfew has been set in the city of Los Angeles as protests over recent ICE raids continue into a fifth day.

In response to the protests, President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to the area and the Pentagon sent in 700 active-duty U.S. Marines. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the Trump administration for the deployment.

Newsom did not request troops in LA, and the state’s lawsuit says there was neither a “rebellion” nor an “invasion” conditions that are supposedly necessary for a president to take command of a state’s National Guard troops and that there was no possibility of either happening.

In response to the unrest going on, California Rep. Judy Chu, a Democrat, said while she does not believe looting and violence by bad actors is OK, the ICE raids have also been unacceptable.

“Mass raids without warrants has been what has started this whole thing,” Chu said. “It was started by Donald Trump.”
