The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said over 100 people were arrested Monday night amid recent Los Angeles-area protests against arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In a Tuesday press release, the department said that it, alongside “multiple local law enforcement partners, responded to protest and criminal activity in the downtown area” Monday. The LAPD said 96 people were arrested over “Failure to Disperse,” one person was arrested over “Assault with a Deadly Weapon,” one person was arrested over “Resisting Arrest” and another over “Vandalism” that night.
“Two LAPD officers were injured and transported to a local hospital for medical treatment and released,” the LAPD said in the release, adding later that 14 people were arrested over “Looting.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) recently claimed that President Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against Trump administration immigration raids was a warning to other states.
“Pod Save America” host Tommy Vietor asked the Golden State governor what his message was to people in all the other U.S. states who believe, “Eh, this is just Trump going after crazy California, where all the liberals are like, we’ll be fine.”
“To preview things to come. It’s a coming attraction,” Newsom said Monday on “Pod Save America.” “I mean you, I’m sure you guys have been saying it. This is what he did to create the conditions that led to the insurrection on January 6th.”
Trump and Newsom have been going at it over unrest in Los Angeles in recent days. On Monday, Trump said he would support arresting the Golden State governor, Newsom responded to on X.
“The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America,” Newsom said on X.
