President Trump used social media to comment on Thursday's ICE raids on the South Coast, but his primary focus was on rocks thrown by some of the protesters that damaged government vehicles.
In his post, he said he was authorizing law enforcement officers in vehicles targeted by rocks or bricks to make arrests. He said he was giving what he called "total authorization" for ICE to protect itself.
The post was apparently an emotional reaction to some government vehicles being damaged. Law enforcement already has the authority to arrest people who throw rocks at vehicles.
He called the people throwing rocks "thugs" and "slimeballs" in his Truth Social post.
The post didn't directly address what is believed to be the largest immigration raids of the Trump Administration.
