President Trump has inflamed tensions over immigration raids in Los Angeles, which his top adviser Stephen Miller described as an insurrection.
"They want protesters to react violently to distract from what is really happening, which is that families are being separated, our communities are being devastated, and the people of Los Angeles are standing up to say, 'We will not stand for this,'" says Jean Guerrero, "New York Times" contributing opinion writer and author of "Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda."
