"I would say that's [suspending the writ of habeas corpus] an option we're actively looking at."

This drawdown is a victory for Californians against the Trump administration's attempt to overwhelm the state with fear and intimidation. It's time for the militarization of Los Angeles to end and for the economy-crushing ICE raids to stop as well. This affair should be a warning to all states about Trump's disregard for local authority.'
