Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-Calif.) said Sunday that the deployment of the National Guard to the Los Angeles area is “going to escalate the situation.”

“It’s a concern,” Barragán told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.” “I mean, it’s going to escalate the situation. People are going to protest because they’re angry about the situation, and we have to just reiterate to people to do it peacefully.”
