The White House stated on Wednesday that US President Donald Trump would not allow "mob rule" after protests escalate against his immigration policies across Los Angeles. The Trump administration's press secretary Karoline Leavitt also claimed that the Democratic governor of California and mayor of Los Angeles had "fanned the flames" of the clashes and “demonising brave ICE officers.” Leavitt said, “President Trump will never allow mob rule to prevail in America. The most basic duty of government is to preserve law and order, and this administration embraces that sacred responsibility.
