White House border czar Tom Homan is in Los Angeles for the immigration raids that began yesterday and continue to unfold this weekend, a White House official told NBC News.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said that authorities were “pouring through” videos of protests at immigration operations Friday<\/a> where dozens of people were taken into custody.
“You bring chaos, and we\u2019ll bring handcuffs,” he said. “Law and order will prevail.”
Forty-four people were arrested administratively, indicating they did not commit a crime. A union leader was arrested on obstruction charges.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned \u201crioters\u201d of prosecution if they \u201clay a hand\u201d on authorities, while FBI Director Kash Patel responded to comments from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass saying the city \u201cwill not stand\u201d for the raids.
\u201cWe will,\u201d Patel said.

At another point, as officers began saying \u201cmove,\u201d a group of them could be seen in a physical struggle with an individual on the ground as another officer pointed a weapon at protesters.

Today’s protest comes one day after dozens of people were taken into custody<\/a> as federal immigration authorities raided three locations across Los Angeles.
David Huerta, president of SEIU California, was among those arrested for allegedly obstructing law enforcement, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said. Forty-four people were administratively arrested, indicating they did not commit a crime.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the raids, calling them \u201cchaotic federal sweeps\u201d that aimed to fill an \u201carbitrary arrest quota.\u201d
\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America\u2019s economy,\u201d he said.

A protest erupted in Los Angeles today as the region\u2019s top federal prosecutor said federal law enforcement operations were \u201cproceeding as planned\u201d across the county.
\u201cI urge the public to refrain from interfering with these lawful actions. Anyone who obstructs federal agents will face arrest and prosecution,\u201d said Bill Essayli, U.S. attorney for California’s Central District.
At least 30 officers wearing tactical gear and gas masks could be seen positioned across the street from a Home Depot in Paramount, south of downtown Los Angeles.
It wasn\u2019t immediately clear what agency the officers work for or why they were there.
Shopping carts were strewn across smoke-filled streets occupied by dozens of people. Some appeared to throw things toward the officers. At one point, a fire was lit in the street.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department said it was on scene \u200b\u201cto assist with keeping the peace but not get involved with any detentions or arrests.\u201d
