The Trump administration is looking into the funding sources behind the recent anti-immigration enforcement protests in Los Angeles, with speculation around possible foreign adversaries. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin highlighted ongoing investigations by the FBI and IRS, indicating a suspicion of coordinated efforts to undermine the administration’s policies. President Trump made unsubstantiated claims regarding local leaders potentially funding protests but later softened his comments. The National Guard is being deployed for crowd control and to protect federal buildings amid rising tensions and threats from protesters.
"There's some activity on the ground that it seems that is highly coordinated and that there might be a financial backer that could be even a foreign adversary."
"No, I don't say the governor and the mayor -- I said, somebody's paying them -- I think. And if they're not, they're just troublemakers."
