  5. #DHS Flew #PredatorDrones Over #LAProtests , Audio Shows.

    The use of #Predator #drones highlights the extraordinary resources government agencies are putting behind #surveilling and responding to the #LosAngeles #protests which started after #ICE agents raided a #HomeDepot on Friday. President #Trump has since called up 4,000 members of the #NationalGuard, and on Monday ordered more than 700 active duty #Marines to the city too.
