Your guide is on what the Trump’s second term is for Washington, Business and the World
On the streets of Los -Angeles, troops of the National Guard were located when the Trump administration took a tough line to stop protests against raids on suspected illegal immigrants.
This step, sanctioned by President Donald Trump on Saturday, using the rarely called law intended for suppressing invasions and uprisings, was abolished by Governor Govin New Yun as “inflammatory”.
This happens two days of unrest in the second largest city in the US, which was caused by federal agents arrested by dozens of people in the crackdown on local business. More protests were scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The deployment of up to 2000 guards checks the ability of strongly democratic states to resist the agenda of Trump and protect its citizens from implementation.
The decision of Trump’s “federalization” of the National Guard – or transfer it from the state to federal control was very unusual. The last time it was done in 1992, when then President George W. Bush sent guards to Los Angeles to control the riots after Red King’s beating. In this case, the governor of California appealed by Pete Wilson’s security assistance.
This time, Trump has canceled Newsom’s wishes, the frequent purpose of the president. The last time the president sent to the security guard without a state governor, was in 1965 when Lindon Johnson sent troops to defend civil rights.
Newsom said the Trump administration decided to post the National Guard “not because there is a law enforcement deficit, but because they want a spectacle in a report on X.
Last weekend, federal agents collided with hundreds of participants, in some cases fired rubber bullets and using grenades of flash.
However, by the end of Saturday, California leaders said the situation was under control, and the support of the federal forces was not needed.
On Saturday night, Defense Minister Pete Hugset increased the threat to California, a self-developed sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, warning that the Trump administration could mobilize active marital infantrymen based near San Diego. Newsom called this step “canceled”.
Speaker of the House of Representatives and Eli Trump Mike Johnson defended the threat by saying ABC News: “We must be ready to do everything you need, and I think the message that it can happen may have a containment effect.”
But Senator Vermont Bernie Sanders, who votes with the Democrats, warned that Trump “quickly drives this country to authoritarianism”. He accused the president of refusing the Constitution and the rule of law.
Nanett Barragan, a Democratic Member of the Congress, which includes southern Los -Andgeles, who witnessed many protests, said CNN that Trump “sent to a national guard because he did not like the scenes. He does not like the scenes to protest peacefully.”
She added that she talked to sheriffs on the ground who said they had things and that there was no need for a federal reserve copy.
Bororan said the federal government in Los -Angeles was told to “prepare for 30 days of coercion,” and Border Tsar Tom Khman said NBC that “about 150” unregistered immigrants had already been detained in the city over the last two days.
The exact number of deployed troops did not confirm the authorities on Sunday.
The Northern Command of the United States stated that “the elements of the 79th Infantry Brigade from the California National Guard started a deployment in the Los -Andgeles area” and that additional information will be provided “as revealed and deployed units.”
The deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles is against a wider confrontation between the White House and California.
The Trump administration, which seeks to “minimal” of 3,000 migrants daily, collided with a predominantly democratic state, after the officials promised resistance and did not cooperate with immigration and customs raids.
Trump threatened to reduce federal financing from California’s positions on immigration, transgender rights and other issues.
In revenge, Newsom suggested that California could abandon federal tax payments by saying on X: “Californians pay bills for the federal government … It may be time to turn off.”
He noted that the state brings more than $ 80 billion more taxes than returns.
