Thousands of demonstrators chanted “ICE out of L.A.” amid protests against immigration raids. A California challenge to Trump’s L.A. military deployment moves to a courtroom Thursday.

Noem was in L.A. to address the ongoing demonstrations protesting President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

Over the years, Trump has threatened to intercede in the state’s long-running homeless crisis, vowed to withhold federal wildfire aid as political leverage in a dispute over water rights, called on police to shoot people robbing stores and warned residents “your children are in danger” because of illegal immigration.

As Trump deploys the military against ICE protests, it's easy to give up. But we must believe in America and the idea that good will always triumph.
