Noem critiques Sheinbaum's participation in LA protests, labeling her actions as instigating "aggressive protests."
The U.S Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, took President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, to task for stirring up protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles, California. At a gathering with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Noem blasted Sheinbaum for fanning the flames of more protests in Los Angeles and slammed her for that.
Noem stressed that Sheinbaum shouldn't be inciting violent protests. She made it clear that while people have the right to peacefully protest, the violence that's unfolding isn't acceptable and it won't fly in the U.S.
In response to Sheinbaum's leadership, Kristi Noem applauded Trump for sending the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles. According to Noem, these troops are well-trained to deal with the situation at hand.
Trump lashed out at California Governor, Gavin Newsom, for his handling of the protests that sparked last Friday in response to the raids on migrants. Against the backdrop of this confrontation, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Los Angeles if the situation escalates due to the protests.
Trump reiterated his stance, asserting that if there's an insurrection, he'd invoke the Insurrection Act. His statement came in response to questions from the press.
Social media posts from Sheinbaum have been circulating against the imposition of taxes on remittances sent by Mexican migrants in the U.S. to their families in Mexico. The proposed tax of 3.5% is part of Trump's fiscal plan that's currently being deliberated in the U.S. Senate.
Contrary to speculations, Sheinbaum has not been encouraging migrants to protest in Los Angeles. After the protests erupted, she called on the Mexican community to act peacefully and avoid being lured into such provocations.
Editor's Note: Trump stirs the pot, rather than putting out the fire of protests
In reality, the protests in Los Angeles have been fueled by concerns over aggressive U.S. immigration policies, including the use of anti-migrant raids and the deployment of the National Guard. The fallout includes instances of violence, such as the burning of police cars.
Meanwhile, Sheinbaum has been speaking out against the use of such tactics, emphasizing the need for peaceful protests and the defense of migrants' rights. She has also provided consular services to ensure that detained Mexican nationals have access to legal representation and due process.
