The main immigration officials of the president of the United States, on Sunday, defended the use of aggressive startings and stopped tactics of masked and armed federal agents, days after a federal judge ruled that arrests were being made “based on the breed alone.”
Trump’s border tsar, Tom Homan and the Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem, made the case of the administration in the Sunday interview programs, just one day after an agricultural worker died in California after being injured in a raid in a legal farm of Cannabis.
On Friday, the Judge of the District Maame Ewusi-Menah Frimpong ordered to stop “itinerant patrols” aimed at alleged undocumented migrants in Los Angeles, to say that the race, language or workplace of a person was not a sufficient justification.
“The physical description cannot be the only reason to stop and question someone,” said Homan about CNN ‘State of the Union’, adding: “It is a lot of factors.” But he acknowledged that the appearance was one of those factors, and said that sometimes there were “collateral arrests” of innocent people in directed raids.
He said the administration would comply with the judge’s decision, but would fight it in appeal.
Noem described the judge of the “ridiculous” judge and criticized what he called the “political” nature of the decision.
“We always build our operations, our investigations on cases of cases, about meeting the people we needed to point out because they were criminals,” Noem said in ‘Fox News Sunday’.
Trump, who campaigned in a promise to deport millions of undocumented migrants, has taken several actions aimed at accelerating deportations and reducing border crossings.
As a so -called “sanctuary city” with hundreds of thousands of undocumented people, Los Angeles has been in the sights of the Trump administration since the Republican returned to power in January.
After the ice raids stimulated the riots and protests last month, Trump sent the United States Marines to the National Guard to quell the interruption.
California Democratic governor Gavin Newsom said the troops were not necessary to address the mostly peaceful protests, but their legal efforts to eliminate them have failed so far.
On Thursday, the agents of application of immigration and customs (ICE) raided a cannabis farm in Ventura County on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Around 200 migrants were arrested and the clashes broke out with the protesters.
A worker persecuted by ice agents fell from the roof of a greenhouse and died on Saturday.
Homan described the “sad” death, but specified that man was not in ice custody at the time of his death.
American Dream ‘no longer’
In a publication about his real social platform, Trump said he had seen images of “thugs” throwing rocks and bricks to ice vehicles, causing “tremendous damage.”
Trump said he was authorizing the agents of the law that “they are at the end of rocks, bricks or any other form of assault, to stop their car and arrest these slime balls, using any means necessary to do so.”
“I am giving a total authorization for ICE to protect, just as they protect the public,” he said.
Trump has been involved in a confrontation on the application of immigration with California governed by Democrat for weeks.
The Republican President sent thousands of national guard troops to Los Angeles last month to quell the protests against the Redons of undocumented migrants by federal agents.
The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, said that the troops were not necessary to address the mostly peaceful protests, but their legal efforts to be eliminated have failed so far.
The cannabis farm in Camarillo was calm during a visit of a AFP Reporter on Friday, while workers waited in line to collect their belongings and payment checks.
“We have been here from six of this morning asking questions, but they are not giving us any information,” said Saul Muñoz, a 43 -year -old Colombian whose son was arrested Thursday.
“I just want to know how it is,” Muñoz said. “Bring me back to me and if it’s time for us to leave, we will leave.
“The truth is that the American dream is not really the American dream.”
