California leaders have knocked Trump for what they view as intentionally whipping up the dispute with unnecessary action, prompting more civil unrest by commandeering the National Guard from state control and sending 2,000 troops into the city.
California Governor Gavin Newsom promised to sue the administration over the move which he called ‘a prohibited act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act’ in an interview with MSNBC.
‘He’s exacerbated the conditions. He’s lit the proverbial match,’ Newsom stated.
‘These anarchists that are in there to create genuine problems, and they’re just playing right into Donald Trump’s hand. And they need to be called out. They need to be arrested.
‘It is wrong to damage other people’s residential or commercial property, and it is incorrect to create the conditions that just exacerbate this. But Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is the sponsor of these conditions.’

‘Because community defense works and our resistance has actually slowed them down before … and if they’re escalating their methods then so are we. When they show up, we got ta reveal up even stronger.’
Hernandez doubled down on her assistance of the anti-ICE protests in a television interview with NBCLA.
When asked by anchor Colleen Williams, ‘Would you admonish [protestors] to remain within the boundaries of the law out there?’
responded, ‘What I would say is that people who are out there protesting, be safe. Remember that we need all community members to be able to “throw down” in future emergency situations.’

Luz Aguilar Cole says on their LinkedIn page that they are a ‘Financial Activist’, ‘Environmentalist’, and ‘Affordable Housing Advocate’.
Luz worked as a research study analyst for Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) in Oakland, California from September 2023 to February this year and is a graduate of the University of California, Davis.
Their bio on the website says they seek ‘to weave together the crossways of social, financial, and climate justice to address systemic concerns facing our regional and international community.’
Luz’s boss, Councilwoman Jurado, is a kept in mind critic of LA’s police department.
During the campaign for her council seat last year, Jurado was tape-recorded being inquired about eliminating cops.
‘What’s the rap verse? F- the cops, that’s how I see ’em,’ she responded.
She later told ABC7 News: ‘I quoted a lyric from a song that’s belonged to a bigger discussion on systemic oppression and cops accountability for decades. But it was just a lyric … My dedication to public security stays as strong as ever.’
After her election to LA council district 14, Jurado was caught in another debate when she was photographed seeming asleep at her chamber seat throughout a closed February session.
Jurado informed ABC7: ‘It looks like I read, and if indeed I did doze off, I think this will not be the first or last of the human minutes that I have as a council member,’
