The Department of Homeland Security conducted raids on multiple locations across Los Angeles on Friday, clashing with the crowds of people who gathered to protest.

Masked agents were recorded pulling several people out of two LA-area Home Depot stores and the clothing manufacturer Ambient Apparel’s headquarters in LA’s Fashion District. Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.

    He’s also threatening to withhold federal taxes if Trump does not pay out for the wildfire aid. California has a $4.1T GDP, which is almost double Texas, the second place state. They have an annual federal surplus of $80B+, which almost cancels out Virginia’s sizable annual deficit on our nation.

      Not true. LAPD is not cuffing the immigrants, but they are defending ICE during the arrests and attacking protestors.
