"The increasingly aggressive and cruel tactics of the immigration enforcement is what's prompting the response of people who are passionate about speaking up for our fundamental rights and due process."

"The National Guard, to your point, it's not only not necessary here, it's counterproductive."

"Los Angeles is my home. I am the proud son of immigrants from Mexico who worked so hard, who sacrificed so much to live their American dream."

"Using the National Guard this way is a completely inappropriate and misguided mission."
