Donald Trump has granted total authorization for ICE to protect itself amidst conflicts with protesters during immigration enforcement actions. This directive comes after federal agents clashed with protesters at farms in California while carrying out raids, resulting in approximately 200 arrests. Protesters used violence, prompting federal agents to utilize crowd-control measures, including teargas. One farmworker was critically injured after falling from a roof during the chaos, though officials clarified he was not in custody. Trump instructed federal law enforcement to arrest any protesters impeding operations.
Trump stated, "I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public," emphasizing agents' rights during confrontations.
