Trump announced his intention to impose prison sentences for burning the flag.

US President Donald Trump has said that people who burned the American flag during a protest in California should receive a one-year prison sentence. This was announced on June 10 by the President of the United States during a speech at a military demonstration at Fort Bragg.

"They proudly carry the flags of other countries. But they don't carry the American flag. They only burn it. Have you seen many burned flags? They were not burned by people from our country or people who love our country. The people who burned the American flag should go to prison for one year — that's what they should do," Trump said.

Migration Incarnation: Protests in California deepen rift in Trump's team

The approval rating of the US president is lower than that of Obama and Biden, while many actively support his measures.

Mass protests in California began on June 8 after a police raid to identify illegal migrants, during which 45 people were detained. On the same day, Trump ordered the National Guard to be sent to the state to stop the riots, which was condemned by the governors of 22 states, regarding it as an "abuse of power."
