And now we get two perspectives, starting with Democratic Congresswoman Norma Torres, who represents

part of Southern California. I spoke with her earlier today.

Congresswoman Torres, thank you for being with us. What specifically triggered the wave of

public outrage that has led to days of protests in some places riots? What has been building up?

What has been building up is the fact that Donald Trump has sent ICE agents armed to the teeth with face coverings in unmarked vehicles,

raiding communities indiscriminately, targeting Latinos, arresting them, and failing to provide

due process, not carrying warrants. And when members of Congress, like myself, have presented

ourselves at the ICE holding locations, they have refused to allow us to come in. They have refused to brief us on what

their actions have been. How many officers have been involved? Local officers and how many

injuries have we had and to really have any oversight over what they are doing. Look, I have visited that location in the past.

The max capacity for that location is 100 people. And we are receiving reports that there were

probably close to 1,000 people being detained during the time that we were there. So that makes sense to me that they refused us entry because they did not want us to see the conditions that these humans were being held in.

Now, ICE says it's targeting people with final deportation orders, people who have exhausted the range of legal options available to them. Some 1.5 million undocumented immigrants fall into that category in this country.

If we're a nation of laws, why shouldn't federal agents enforce those court orders?

If that was true, they would come in with a warrant.

If that was true, they would have an actual name and they would be asking

people for their identification. They would not be breaking car windows and they would not be

raiding places of employment, grad school graduations or standing in front of elementary

schools demanding to be allowed in to arrest children.

We have witnessed some disturbing scenes.

Protesters throwing rocks at police, setting off commercial-grade fireworks,

near law enforcement, even torching self-driving cars.
