Demonstrator steals police car during protest against boundary in Arizona

Protesters in Arizona went on the streets to protest against President Donald Trump’s mass portation plan on Sunday, and police say officers were assaulted in the middle of the demonstration.

Glendale police confirmed to Fox News Digital that there was a large group of people collected in protest against federal immigration policies.

A police spokesman said a police vehicle was stolen by a demonstrator, but no arrest has been made.

The demonstrator “jumped into one of our patrol vehicles and drove it a short distance before it was quickly recovered,” the spokesman said, adding that the suspect was unknown at the time.

Traffic was still closed in all directions in the area of ​​the protest from the beginning of Monday morning. Glendale and Phoenix police were on stage and monitored the situation, as the Glendale police said had begun “to hover out because of the excellent work done by Glendale and Phoenix police officers on stage.”

Officers deployed chemical agents to spread the “irregular and trassing audience,” spokesman for the Glendale Police said.

Several officers were assaulted, police cars were damaged and the surrounding companies and personal property were damaged, the spokesman said.

Investigators will investigate possible crimes at the protest and will work to identify suspects.

Protests with antiportation were held over the weekend in several other cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Houston and Atlanta.

This comes in the midst of the Trump administration’s mass portal efforts – with officials who admit that higher deportation numbers are the target rather than the removal of violent migrants in the country illegally.

US immigration and customs enforcement officials were instructed by Trump -officials about aggressively increasing the number of people they arrest from a few hundred a day To at least 1,200 to 1,500 because the president was disappointed with the deportation numbers, the Washington Post reported last week.

The president also turned a directive under the Biden administration that had asked immigration officials not to make arrests in sensitive areas such as schools and churches.

The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said last week that the administration is seeking the removal of all immigrants in the country illegally – not just those who committed criminal acts – and alleged that all migrants accused of being in the United States illegal are “criminals . ”

“I know the last administration didn’t see it that way, so it’s a big cultural change in our nation to see someone who breaks our immigration legislation as a criminal, but that’s exactly what they are,” she said A press briefing, refusing to say whether all migrants in the United States had illegally had criminal items.

People who cross the border illegally have committed a crime, but merely being in the United States is illegal a civil violation, not a criminal. Someone could be illegal in the country without breaking laws to enter, such as exceeding a visa.

Trump said in his inauguration speech last month that his administration would quickly deport “millions and millions” of migrants with criminal items, although the number of migrants with criminal items in the country without permission is significantly less than these millions, according to Axios .

Studies also show that both legal and illegal migrants commit crimes at lower rates than US citizens.
