Republicans celebrated Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) move to break with the Democratic Party’s response to the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots. 

Prominent Democrats such as former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) have characterized the protests carried out in Southern California since last Friday as mostly peaceful despite widespread violence. Others, such as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA), have accused the Trump administration of inciting the chaos and rolling over constitutional rights, with the congresswoman telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement to “get the f*** out of LA so that order can be restored.”
