James O’Brien reacts to the scenes in Los Angeles where immigration enforcement protests have turned fiery in clashes with the national guard.
Donald Trump deployed 2,000 troops to the city in a bid to quash largely peaceful protests over the weekend, who deployed tear gas as officers dressed in riot gear lined the streets.
Protesters were seen filling the streets in response to mass deportations across the state, with tear gas deployed on Sunday afternoon as officers in riot gear lined the streets.
James sees this as a ‘fascistic’ move by the president, and that “he’s not just trying to silence dissent, but trying to kill it”.
James believe this is a clear inidcation that Trump ‘wants violence’ with the decision to ‘shoot dissenters’.
