White House "border czar" Tom Homan said that protests in Los Angeles are complicating immigration raids, making them more "difficult" and more "dangerous."

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to speak at Fort Bragg on Tuesday to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army as he deploys the military in an attempt to quiet immigration protests in Los Angeles.

Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn said, "Trump thinks anything done in his name is OK. Jan. 6 was done in his name, so our officers don't matter."

White House officials say that Trump has a mandate to carry out his hard-line immigration policy and that politically, battling it out with a blue state is a winning issue for the administration.
