The Chairs of the Con­gres­sion­al Tri-Cau­cus have de­nounced Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s at­tacks on Caribbean and oth­er im­mi­grants as protests con­tin­ue in Los An­ge­les over his im­mi­gra­tion poli­cies.

Con­gres­sion­al Black Cau­cus (CBC) Chair, Yvette D. Clarke, Con­gres­sion­al His­pan­ic Cau­cus Chair, Adri­ano Es­pail­lat and Con­gres­sion­al Asian Pa­cif­ic Amer­i­can Cau­cus Chair, Grace Meng, told a news con­fer­ence that Trump’s ac­tions are tar­get­ing im­mi­grant com­mu­ni­ties in Los An­ge­les and across the coun­try.

“Pres­i­dent Trump’s un­law­ful de­ci­sion to de­ploy the Na­tion­al Guard on­to the streets of Los An­ge­les is a reck­less and in­flam­ma­to­ry es­ca­la­tion, one de­signed not to re­store calm, but to pro­voke chaos,” said Clarke, the daugh­ter of Ja­maican im­mi­grants, who rep­re­sents the 9th Con­gres­sion­al Dis­trict in Brook­lyn, New York.
