After the recent shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, some police chiefs have joined the mounting criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration blitz. One voice missing from the fray: LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. Unlike his counterparts in Minneapolis, Portland and Philadelphia, he has largely avoided public comment on the tactics used by federal agents, saving his strongest criticism for protesters accused of vandalism or violence. So he said was disappointed by McDonnell’s unwillingness to call out racial profiling and excessive force by federal agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere. LAPD officers serve on nearly three dozen task forces with federal officials, where they share information and resources to track down criminals, said Hamilton, the department’s chief of detectives.

President Donald Trump said he has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to intervene in protests or unrest in Democratic-led cities unless local officials formally request assistance, amid criticism over heavy-handed immigration enforcement tactics. Trump warned there would be “no spitting in the faces of our Officers,” along with attacks on law enforcement vehicles or damage to federal property, promising “equal, or more, consequence” for those who do. Trump also said local and state governments are responsible for protecting their own property, along with federal property, with the federal government serving as a backstop. Pressed by reporters later Saturday on what he meant by that, Trump promised an aggressive federal response to protect government property. The president’s comments come as demonstrations are expected throughout the weekend and after a nationwide strike in protest of the federal immigration enforcement crackdown Friday.

Leading Democrats have rolled out a new and unvarnished message — that the U.S. Department of Justice cannot be trusted. Also Friday, Justice Department officials released more documents from the Epstein files — a trove of records related to the sexual abuse of minors by the late, disgraced billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein.

He said similar concerns were raised by many Republicans when the Justice Department was prosecuting Trump during the Biden administration.
