Republicans in California’s congressional delegation are moving to formally condemn the riots in Los Angeles, as tensions continue there between federal immigration authorities and protesters.
LiveNOW’s Andy Mac spoke about the protests with Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) who’s sponsoring a resolution urging California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to work with federal authorities.
The resolution being introduced Tuesday affirms support for peaceful protests and for state, local and federal law enforcement.
It also “calls on local and state elected leadership to work with the federal government to end the violent riots and restore peace,” even as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom continue to oppose the presence of National Guard troops in the city.
Democratic officials, including Newsom and Bass, had accused President Donald Trump of escalating tensions in Los Angeles by sending in thousands of National Guard troops. He also ordered the deployment of 700 Marines.
