By Ryan King
California officials have been told to prepare for 30 days of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities in the Los Angeles area, according to a congresswoman whose district was pummeled by riots over the weekend.
Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) argued that President Trump’s move to dispatch 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles to contain the riots and restore order could inflame tensions ahead of the heavy ICE activity there.

“We’ve been told to get ready for … 30 days of ICE enforcement. So, 2,000 troops to be there for that enforcement, it’s a concern. I mean, it’s going to escalate the situation,” Barragán told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.
