From the Daily Mail: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum fanned the flames of the ongoing riots in Los Angeles, calling Mexican migrants living the US ‘heroes’ while blasting the immigration polices of President Trump.

Violent clashes broke out in LA after dozens of undocumented migrants were arrested Friday in raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

‘We disagree with this approach to the migration phenomenon,’ Sheinbaum said during a press conference Sunday afternoon in San Andrés Cholula, Puebla.

‘It’s not about raids or violence, but rather working on a comprehensive reform that takes into account the Mexicans on the other side of the border,’ she added. ‘That is our position, always a call for peace, to not exacerbate any form of violent protest.’

Sheinbaum lamented that ICE agents arrested 35 Mexican nationals and claimed, “Mexicans living in the United States are good, honest men and women who left to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families. They are not criminals.”

Brazenly, she then claimed, “Los Angeles wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for the Mexicans who live there. The United States is what it is thanks also to the work of our fellow Mexicans who live across the border.”

Sheinbaum also threatened that Mexico could take action against the United States if President Trump introduces a tax on money sent back home by Mexicans working in the U.S.

“If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico,” she threatened.

Mexico’s president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum just said: “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.”

For decades, Mexico’s foreign policy has been guided by the principle of non-intervention — respect for other nations’ internal affairs.

Now, Sheinbaum threatens to organize mobilizations inside the U.S. She’s breaking one of Mexico’s most fundamental diplomatic doctrines. pic.twitter.com/x6bAPJxnJW
