Rep. Torres: Trump created unrest by bringing in ICE

() California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Monday that the state was moving to sue the Trump administration after protests in Los Angeles over the weekend.

The lawsuit is in response to President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard to the state. Bonta criticized Trump for not getting authorization from Gov. Gavin Newsom and for not allowing local authorities to handle the protests.

Protests took place over the weekend over ICE raids taking place in Southern California. People were reportedly detained by immigration officers after routine check-ins, and Democratic Rep. Norma Torres went to an ICE detention facility at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in LA to do oversight, where she was denied entry.

“It’s our job to have oversight; that is the law,” Torres told . “That is not at the will of the president or his minions.”

Torres said she landed in the hospital in the midst of the protests because of a chemical agent that was deployed in a crowd. Torres has asthma and said she spent four hours hospitalized. She said the protests had primarily remained peaceful.

She added that Trump should have asked the governor and LA Mayor Karen Bass for authorization to bring the National Guard into the city.

“For the president to come in and once again try to militarize an incident that he created by sending ICE agents to raid communities,” Torres said. “These are not the criminals the administration has set out to deport.”
