WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday criticized Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum for comments she said encouraged protests like those that have broken out in Los Angeles against immigration raids.

In a press conference on Monday, Sheinbaum criticized violent acts during the protests and asked U.S. authorities to respect the rule of law while policing migration.

“Claudia Sheinbaum came out and encouraged more protests in L.A., and I condemn her for that,” Noem told reporters at the White House.

“She should not be encouraging violent protests that are going on,” Noem added. “People are allowed to peacefully protest. But the violence that we’re seeing is not acceptable, and it’s not going to happen in America.”
