In his speech, California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemns recent federal raids targeting immigrant families, deviating from past strategies that focused on serious offenders. He describes specific incidents where federal agents indiscriminately arrested individuals, including a pregnant woman and children. Newsom highlights the community's response, noting public protests while acknowledging the state's efforts to maintain order. Critically, he discusses the excessive use of force by federal agents, including tear gas and rubber bullets. He expresses concern over constitutional rights being undermined and criticizes the unilateral actions taken by federal authorities without consulting local leaders.
California is no stranger to immigration enforcement. But instead of focusing on undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records, this administration is pushing mass deportations.
A US citizen, 9 months pregnant, arrested. A four-year-old girl taken. Families separated. Friends disappearing.
What ensued was the use of tear gas. Flash-bang grenades. Rubber bullets. Federal agents detaining people and undermining their due process rights.
Everyday Angelinos came out to exercise their Constitutional right to free speech and assembly to protest their government's actions.
