President Donald Trump is taking credit for a return to calm following three days of protests over immigration crackdowns in Los Angeles.

More than two dozen people were arrested over the weekend. President Trump blamed the unrest on California Gov. Gavin Newsom, accusing him of failing to take decisive action.
