Pictures of violent protests in Los Angeles… Target to arrest 3000 immigrants Under Trump’s deportation policy, ICE has a target to arrest and deport a record number of 3000 undocumented immigrants every day. One of the reasons for the raid is the use of fake documents by some businessmen. According to officials, about 1600 illegal immigrants are being caught every day. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that a thousand protesters surrounded a federal office and attacked ICE officials. These protesters are mainly supporters of the immigrant community, local residents, and members of organizations working for immigrant rights such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. The raid was done in military style. Two posts on Trump’s social media: 1. Praised the National Guard, thanked them. Trump praised the National Guard on social media and thanked them, writing – The National Guard has done a great job in Los Angeles. However, the governor and mayor are useless.

If the state government fails, we will take over. Donald Trump has warned the state government of not being able to handle law and order.
