"The protests in Los Angles against militarized ICE agents do not rise to the level of insurrection that Trump's inner circle is claiming, but it has handed him the pretext to do what he has always wanted to do."

"What is happening in Los Angeles is not a rational response to what they're seeing on the ground," Taylor pointed out.

"This is indeed pre-planned to be able to give Trump justification to invoke the Insurrection Act and it made sense that where they decided to do these raids was Los Angeles.”

"I very firmly believe in the White House they suspected the response would be protests, and then they could use the protests as a response to use the Insurrection Act. But this is much, much bigger than Los Angeles."

"I'm telling you, from the 1st term, if Trump had gotten the authority to use the military on US soil to enforce domestic law, it was going to go much beyond enforcement of immigration law. That was our fear & we're seeing potentially the early innings of that play out in real-time"
