LOS ANGELES — In response to Trump’s deployment tonight of the National Guard in Los Angeles County, Victor Leung, chief legal and advocacy officer at the ACLU Foundation of Southern California states:
“The Trump administration’s baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities, and is akin to a declaration of war on all Californians.
Workers in our garment districts or day laborers seeking work outside of Home Depot do not undermine public safety. They are our fathers and mothers and neighbors going about their day and making ends meet. Rather, the only threat to safety today is the masked goon squads that the Trump administration has deployed to terrorize the communities of Los Angeles County.
