Trump's Strong Remarks on LA Protests
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump condemned the protests in Los Angeles, labeling them as 'a full-blown assault on peace, public order, and national sovereignty.' He made these comments during a rally at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
In his speech, Trump criticized the transformation of Los Angeles over the years, expressing dismay at the protests against his mass deportation policies. He remarked, 'In just a few decades, Los Angeles has deteriorated from one of the cleanest and safest cities to a place overwhelmed by trash and dominated by gangs and criminal organizations.'

He emphasized that the consequences of unchecked migration are evident, leading to chaos and disorder. Trump pledged to 'liberate Los Angeles and restore its cleanliness and safety.' He also criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, accusing them of funding 'troublemakers and insurrectionists' involved in the protests, stating, 'It's tragic what they’ve done to our country.'
Recent reports indicate that Trump has warned of more stringent measures, deploying an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles. Tensions have escalated as protesters and immigration officials continue to clash. The demonstrations in Paramount followed recent workplace raids conducted by immigration authorities, which sparked outrage and led to protests and arrests.
