Homan says National Guard will be deployed to LA amid anti-ICE riots

Border czar Tom Homan said the National Guard will be deployed to Los Angeles as a two-day protest against the Trump administration’s deportation efforts has escalated.

Homan, who has spearheaded President Donald Trump‘s deportation operation, revealed the deployment in a Fox News appearance on Saturday.

“We’re stepping up. … We’re going to bring the National Guard in tonight, we’re going to continue doing our job. We’re going to push back on these people and we’re going to forge along,” he said.

The protests, which White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has called “a violent insurrection,” began on Friday and continued over the weekend after several raids in the area by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Footage of the protests on Saturday show the protesters clashing with federal law enforcement, throwing objects at Customs and Border Protection vehicles and in one case blocking a federal bus in the street.

Law enforcement have also used tear gas, guns that shoot pepper balls, and zip ties, while wearing riot gear and wielding shields, to quell the chaos.

Homan condemned the violence toward law enforcement on Saturday and signaled arrests will be made.

“You can protest all you want. You got your First Amendment rights, but if you cross that line of impediment, or you put hands on officers or destroy property, you will be prosecuted. There’s zero tolerance on crossing that line, and that’s what we’re standing by,” Homan added.
