Mexico’s president is calling for peace after a weekend of protests in Los Angeles triggered by immigration arrests there last Friday.
Many of the protesters in Los Angeles over the weekend carried Mexican flags, as well as signs denouncing the Trump administration’s immigration authorities.
Images of protesters destroying vehicles, and facing police crackdowns that included tear gas and rubber bullets, have circulated on social media.
The protests come in response to immigration raids in Los Angeles on Friday, during which Mexico’s foreign affairs secretary says 42 Mexican nationals were detained.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called for peace from protesters, as well as for the United States to respect the rights of the Mexican citizens in its custody.
“We should be clear, we condemn violence wherever it comes from,” Sheinbaum told reporters Monday.
Mexico says representatives from its consulate in Los Angeles were able to visit the detainees to check on their wellbeing and connect them with legal services. Four of the Mexican nationals who were detained have since been deported to Mexico, according to Mexico's foreign affairs secretary.
