House Democrat Blasts Trump for Going After ‘Peaceful’ Protests — As CNN Plays Footage of a Burning Car

‘Those are not the people that are coming out to protest immigration’

EXCERPT:

BARRAGAN: "Okay, so, last night, when I talked to the sheriff, he had told me the situation in Paramount was under control, that the people that were peacefully protest have left. The situation was now across the street into the Compton area, and this was the unruly folks, that Saturday night crowd. The people that were there to actually protest immigration were gone. We don't — we agree that, if you're being violent, you should be arrested, you should be prosecuted. There is no disagreement on that. I think that's an effort that we can all say. But this is not what's happening. We are having an administration that's targeting peaceful protests, people that are there to protest. The president is sending in the National Guard because he doesn't like the scenes. He doesn't like the scenes of people peacefully protesting.
