Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that the administration won't allow a "repeat of 2020" to occur after President Trump called for the National Guard to enforce order in the Los Angeles area amid protests over activity by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
"We're not going to let a repeat of 2020 happen," Noem said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," referring to the unrest in Minneapolis following the killing of George Floyd.
At the time, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made the controversial decision to deploy the state's National Guard amid the 2020 riots in Minneapolis, but Noem on Sunday criticized Walz for what she said were "very bad decisions," claiming he "let his city burn for days on end." Mr. Trump also deployed the National Guard in June 2020 to Washington, D.C, to quell protests.
And as California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom urged that the state had things under control after protests broke out in L.A. in reaction to ICE operations in recent days, Noem claimed Newsom "has proven that he makes bad decisions."
