"Residents of the Pacific Palisades flocked home on Saturday after President Donald Trump’s visit the day before, with many gaining access to their property for the first time since the Palisades Fire more than two weeks ago.
The next day, residents rushed to the assembly point in nearby Santa Monica Parking Lot #3, where police escorts had been taking caravans of residents to the Highlands, one of the areas of the Pacific Palisades that had not been as badly affected as the rest of the town.
They insisted on being taken to other neighborhoods — Marquez Knolls, the “Alphabet Streets,” the Bluffs, and others — with many insisting that President Trump had promised them access... some persisted and were able to visit their lots — at least for a short period of time.
“I personally needed to go back,” one resident told Breitbart News. “We weren’t here when it [the fire] happened, and luckily my parents listened to us and did evacuate. … If we could get in today and not have my parents sit for hours to get in — so that worked.” Some residents reported continued denials by National Guard soldiers and police. One posted on Instagram: “They didn’t let us in but they also said they wouldn’t arrest us if we went around them. So we went.” Many expressed a commitment to rebuild, and hope that President Trump’s pressure on Los Angeles and California will allow them to do so." Breitbart
