Everyone should feel safe calling 911,” Frey said, referring to Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City. Frey’s comments came in response to a social media post from Trump this morning, in which the president warned that the mayor would be violating federal law by not enforcing immigration operations.

The Trump administration said that Pretti had a gun, and that the officers had acted in self-defense. Gupta said the immigration agents’ tactics were “out of line” with local, state and federal policing standards and “offensive to all of that work that has been done” to establish those standards. Rob Bonta reminded California law enforcement that they have the right to investigate federal agents for violating state law.
