It's surreal to see the images coming from the streets of Los Angeles, and it makes me angry. Police officers getting hit with rocks. Cars torched in flames. Vandals waving Mexican flags while screaming for ICE to be abolished. This is not what America stands for.

I want to make a few things crystal clear.

ICE has every right to enforce immigration laws and detain illegals. The raids in Los Angeles apprehended illegals who committed serious crimes including: second-degree murder, robbery, cruelty to a child, attempt to commit rape, sexual battery, grand theft larceny, distribution of heroin, assault with a deadly weapon. These ICE agents should never be subject to harassment or violence for doing their jobs, and neither should local law enforcement.

President Trump has the authority to call on the National Guard to defend the life, liberty, and property of Americans under siege by endless waves of violent rioters.

Liberal politicians in California like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have failed to lead, and it's despicable that they're now blaming Trump and ICE for the violence they refused to put an end to. It's ridiculous Newsom now plans to sue President Trump.
