Los Angeles City Council Member Monica Rodriguez is warning that President Donald Trump’s 2028 Olympics Task Force might be used as a “Trojan horse” to increase deportation raids, which could lead to a “tragedy.” This shows the growing tension between local and federal authorities in California as the Games approach.
According to the New York Post, Rodriguez, a San Fernando Valley Democrat, is against federal immigration enforcement agencies like ICE. She is worried that the federal task force, which President Trump announced in August, could increase the involvement of federal agents and change how local policing works in the city.
