“Can you imagine all of this for 45 arrests?” Juan Proano of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) asked. Proano is in Los Angeles after President Trump deployed the National Guard in response to Ice raids in what he calls “An attack on a sanctuary city.” As the sun rose this morning in Los Angeles, it was quiet after what resembled a police state over the weekend. On this morning’s Coffee With segment on the Contrarian, Proano said since Thursday, “45” migrants have been arrested. The head of the organization, which focuses on the advancement of Hispanics, discussed the discriminatory nature of these arrests, lending “the only criteria they need to have is brown skin.”
Proano says the ICE raids “were not planned very well” as the ICE centers are already “overcrowded and moving to accelerated deportations” and stepping around due process for the new ICE arrests. Proano, the head of LULAC, said they [the Trump administration] originally hoped to achieve 3,000 deportations daily. Los Angeles has a large migrant population, with the most significant numbers in the Asian and Hispanic communities. California Governor Gavin Newsom blames President Trump for the tensions in the Los Angeles area related to the latest ICE raids. This morning, President Trump retorted on the South Lawn of the White House, stating Newsom should be arrested as “he is grossly incompetent.”
President Trump deployed the National Guard to handle the LA protests stemming from the ICE raids in Los Angeles. LULAC, the NAACP, and other rights organizations have blamed President Trump for escalating the tensions there. Meanwhile, President Trump is prepared to escalate this even more. Marines at Camp Pendleton are on high alert for possible deployment to Los Angeles. Currently, 2000 National Guard are deployed to the City of Angles, with only 300 on the ground. California is suing the Trump administration for the unlawful deployment of the National Guard in their state.
