Los Angeles Resistance: Standing Against ICE | Stories of Resistance

Protesters have taken to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. They’re protesting the detention and arrest of thousands of immigrants by Donald Trump’s immigration officials. Protests have carried on for days. They’ve shut down highways. They've shouted, “No.” Trump has responded, calling in the national guard, despite objections from local state officials. It’s the first time a president has unilaterally called in the national guard in 60 years. California governor Gavin Newsom says he’s suing Trump for illegally deploying federal troops and “flaming the fires.” People have promised to resist. More protests are planned for today and the coming days. This is episode 44 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.
