California Representative Sara Jacobs has spoken out against President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles following protests over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that erupted on Friday. Jacobs, who represents California’s 51st District, shared her thoughts on the protests and a recent restaurant raid in her district during an interview on “CBS News 24/7.”
The situation in California has escalated, with Governor Gavin Newsom announcing plans to sue Trump over the National Guard deployment. Newsom’s move comes as Los Angeles braces for further protests and unrest in the wake of the ICE raids.
The clashes between anti-ICE protesters and police officers in downtown LA have been particularly intense, with reports of chaotic confrontations and arrests. The protests have also targeted Waymo driverless taxis, becoming a new focal point for demonstrators.
As tensions continue to rise, it is clear that the issue of immigration enforcement is a deeply divisive and contentious one. While some support the actions taken by ICE and the National Guard, others believe that these measures are excessive and only serve to further inflame the situation.
The debate over immigration policy and enforcement is likely to intensify in the coming days, with both sides digging in their heels and pushing their agendas forward. It remains to be seen how the situation will evolve and whether any resolution can be reached amidst the ongoing turmoil.
