The Federation Council compared the riots in California with the civil War

The riots against US President Donald Trump's migration policy in Los Angeles are reminiscent of the civil war. This was announced on June 9 by Alexei Pushkov, a member of the Constitutional Committee of the Federation Council.

"Los Angeles. The civil War," he wrote on his Telegram channel.

The senator accompanied the publication with a photo showing several cars on fire.

Pain and loss: U.S. spent at least $2 million to deport migrants

The Pentagon confirmed to Izvestia the use of C-17 military aircraft for this purpose - one hour of their operation costs more than $19 thousand.

Mass protests in California began after a police raid to identify illegal migrants, during which 45 people were detained. On June 7, Trump ordered the National Guard to be sent to the state to stop the riots, which caused discontent among the governors of 22 states, who regarded this step as an "abuse of power."
