“Wake up, America,” Newsom said. “Wake up to what's happening not just here in Los Angeles, where we saw our streets militarized, where we saw due process rights thrown out the window.”

Newsom blamed Trump for the presence of the Border Patrol while speaking with reporters after the rally. He described the raid as “sick and pathetic.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who’s been a vocal opponent of President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles and aggressive immigration crackdown, said the timing of Border Patrol’s appearance was intentional.
