Anti-ICE demonstrations are expected to spread to more cities this week after days of unrest in Los Angeles, with at least 30 new protests planned across the country in response to the Trump Administration’s recent immigration raids.

00:00As of this afternoon, the Los Angeles Police Department is on tactical alert and in a state of partial mobilization.
00:06These designations are critical tools that allow us to expand our operational capacity to safeguard our communities
00:12and respond effectively to any unrest or unlawful activity.
00:17To the public, we fully support your right to peacefully protest, but let me be absolutely clear.
00:23Those who choose to incite violence, engage in vandalism or graffiti, or attack officers will be arrested.
00:30There is no tolerance for criminal activity under the guise of protest.
00:34And it makes me feel like our city is actually a test case.
00:38A test case for what happens when the federal government moves in and takes the authority away from the state or away from local government.
00:47I don't think that our city should be used for an experiment to see what happens in the nation's second largest city.
00:56Well, maybe we can do this to other cities.
00:58Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight.
01:02He's exacerbated the conditions.
01:04He's, you know, lit the proverbial match.
01:06He's putting fuel on this fire ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard in a legal act, in a moral act, an unconstitutional act.
01:14But Donald Trump needs to pull back.
01:18He needs to stand down.
01:20Donald Trump is inflaming these conditions.
01:23This is Donald Trump's problem right now.
01:27And if he can't solve it, we will.
01:29Mr. President, when is the last time you spoke with Governor Newsom?
01:34A day ago.
01:36Called him up to tell him, got to do a better job.
01:39He's doing a bad job.
01:40Causing a lot of death and a lot of potential death.
01:44If we didn't send out the National Guard, and last time we gave him a little additional help, you would have, Los Angeles would be burning right now.
01:53Los Angeles would be not a lot different than what you saw take place in California and Los Angeles just a little while ago.
02:01Mr. President, on those Marines, Governor Newsom has described them as political pawns.
02:06I'm curious for your reaction to that and what you see as the Marines' role and what are their rules of engagement?
02:10All I want is safety.
02:12I just want a safe area.
02:14We have, Los Angeles was under siege until we got there.
02:18We have, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles
