While President Donald Trump has said ICE officers should expand detentions and detainments in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments Tuesday on whether the president exceeded his authority by deploying California’s National Guard troops in LA.
LA City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez joined “Inside the Issues” host Amrit Singh to discuss how the ICE raids are affecting her district, what she’s doing to protect immigrants and the impact of the protests on the city budget.
Then, LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto talks about how her office is challenging the federal government’s deployment of the National Guard and the activity during immigration protests that has resulted in more than 500 arrests and 14 misdemeanor charges to date.
