America seems headed to an angry and ugly place.
Inflammatory incidents, rhetoric and dissent unleashed by President Donald Trump’s tough immigration crackdown are inexorably building political pressure as a polarized nation barrels into the heat of summer.
Stunning scenes in Los Angeles on Thursday, when Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was manhandled out of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s news conference and handcuffed, epitomized a dark turn taken this week in California.
But there’s no sign yet of a path back from the brink before cascading confrontations and protests turn violent or even tragic.
If anything, the crisis is deepening.
