With the high temperature of La Crackdown, as well as legal fighting about the use of forces
When the protests entered the streets of Los Angeles, which were ignited by migratory arrests, a fourth tense day, California Governor Gavin News and President Donald Trump escalated on the president’s unilateral decision to publish thousands of the National Guard.
On Monday, California filed a lawsuit against the administration for what he called illegal federal measures that violate the authority of the Governor of Newsom. Her lawsuit confirms that Mr. Trump acted illegally when the “rebellion” threat was required to justify the transmission in the forces. Countries usually require the support of the National Guard during emergency situations such as natural disasters; Washington mono procedures are very rare.
In an additional escalation, the Trump administration said on Monday that it would double the number of guard forces to 4000 Publish a battalion of US Navy To Los Angeles, to support the National Guard. This step remembers a discussion in 2020 inside the White House about whether the army will be used to put out violent protests after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. At that time, President Trump, who wanted to send federal forces, was talked about a military offering of force by the Minister of Defense, from among others. But his current administration is working by loyalists who seem more compatible with his views.
Why did we write this
California filed a lawsuit, while the Trump administration doubled the National Guard and deployment of Marines. Both sides are competing for the cause and nature of the disturbances and whether the federal government helps extinguish a fire – or flow on gasoline.
Critics raised questions about the effectiveness of spreading military units for this purpose, because their rules limit what they can do. With more soldiers sending, it is not clear whether it is intended as a symbolic symbolism of force that may never be used, or as some Democrats warn, a first step in the authoritarian authority. Pentagon It is said that he is still working The marine guidelines that are sent to Los Angeles, including how to respond to any threats from the demonstrators.
Behind the clash is fencing novels on the issue and nature of the turmoil in Los Angeles and whether the federal government helps to put out a fire – or pour gasoline on fire.
California officials argue that President Trump’s decision to deploy soldiers to guard federal employees and facilities has already raised more people to join what was small protests, causing more violence to spread. “We didn’t face a problem until Trump was involved,” Mr. Newsom said on x Sunday. He said that the publication seemed “intentionally designer to prove the situation” and should be canceled.
President Trump insisted that California be grateful to the federal government to send the National Guard to deal with the situation. “If we did not, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated,” He wrote about the social truth on Monday.
He and other administration officials, the ruler of the news ruler, who is seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2028, is not decisively to act to put out a threat to public safety. “President Salama has chosen this community to wait Tell “confrontation of the nation” to CBS on Sunday.
It was the last time that the president exceeded the governor of the National Guard’s sending in 1965, when Alabama’s Lindon Johnson ordered the protection of civil rights demonstrators who walk from Salma to Montgomery. This time, the White House established the National Guard to suppress the protests, not to protect it.
Experts say that federal law is so wide in this field that it is unlikely that the court will prevent Mr. Trump’s actions.
“It is legal, but it is terrible,” said Rachel Vanndingham, a former Judge of the Air Force. Legally, the rules for identifying the National Guard are beautiful [darn] wide.”
the White House memo It was issued on June 7 that protests against federal agents involved in the arrest of illegal immigrants “constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the United States government.” He stated that the National Guard is necessary for “temporarily protection” for federal officials and federal property.
First Lieutenant Colonel Vannandhamham, a professor at the College of Southern West Law in Los Angeles, says the memo was “written very carefully.” “If you only protect people who take their functions, and you protect federal property, this appears to be legally applied.”
“The only invasion that I see is the invasion of ice”
Late Monday morning, hundreds of people gathered in the downtown park near the Los Angeles City Hall to demand the release of David Heareta, President of the International Employees Federation in California, who was arrested during Friday protests. He was later released on bail, but he was charged with impeding the application of the law; He said he was watching their actions. Other cities, including San Francisco, held protests on Monday in solidarity with Mr. Huerta.
Around the back, a smaller group went to the nearby federal building, which includes the enforcement of American migration and customs. Tariq police are noisy in its sky. In all directions, writing on the anti -ice walls can be seen on buildings, signs, bus stations, and sidewalks in an area that has become a pivotal point in the protests on Friday after the spread of ice team teams. The protests later spread to Paramount, a Latinian neighborhood to the south, and to the adjacent Kompton.
California National Guard forces stood at a state of alert a few meters away, while the demonstrators shouted slogans and response against Mr. Trump and the ice.
“Upwards, up, with immigrants. Below, bottom, bottom with Trump.”
“Money for jobs and education. Not for ice and deportation.”
“Who has strength? We have strength. What kind of strength? People’s strength.”
Amy Lukwood, one of the demonstrators, said that she was in the city center during the weekend and helped organize a protest on Monday using social media. Originally from South America and now lives in the San Gabriel Valley, Mrs. Lukwood condemned what he called the kidnapping of the local population with ice and called for the end of immigration raids.
By talking about a “migrant invasion” and sending it to the forces, Mr. Trump sows fear in society. She added: “The only invasion that I see is the invasion of the ice, the invasion of internal security, the federal agents, and the riots, all of this. This is the real invasion.”

Paul Nota, the owner of the union petition from the Rivside County, watched the Los Angeles protests during the weekend, then decided to join the demonstration on Monday in the city center. He grew up in a society of Spanish origin and has family members of Spanish origin. He says that the deployment of the National Guard seemed unnecessary and that the enforcement of military law has made the situation worse.
Violence is condemned by demonstrators, including bright cars. “I think it is terrible,” he says. But he blamed the disturbances in the actions of ice and its presence in society. “We do not want the ice to take away the society that has built a lot here and does a lot here.”
Tensions between the application of local and federal law
Trump administration officials say their enforcement operations aim to get criminals out of the streets. The Borders of Caesar Tom Human told MSNBC on Monday that ICE officers in Los Angeles have served three orders “at sites based on a major criminal plot.” When arresting the “bad guys”, he added, others may be detained even if they are not the target. If the ice “arrests this bad man and other illegal foreigners, we will arrest them.”
Mr. Human, who as a senior ICE official under President Barack Obama, helped deport millions of unauthorized immigrants, exciting demonstrators in Los Angeles who tried to prevent ice agents from federal law enforcement. He said that the demonstrators have the first amendment rights, “but they cannot cross this line … to put their hands on the officers.”
California adopted its status as a refuge, and the Los Angeles Police Department does not participate in immigration enforcement operations. This tensions have been created between local and federal law enforcement, which could exacerbate the deployment of forces.
Mrs. Naim complained that the police did not do enough to protect the federal officers who exceeded their number, stressing that Lapd “waited hours to respond” to the calls for backup. “They waited for us to have an officer in a dangerous situation, until he comes and helps us to bring peace,” she said in the CBS news program. (LAPD said that the time of its response was 55 minutes, not hours))
In 1992, Los Angeles requested military units to help suppress the riots that followed the acquittal of several police officers who portrayed Rodney King. President George called Bush from Bush the law of rebellion when he authorized this publication. Analysts say that Mr. Trump may also consider the authority granted through this statute, but he has now settled on another legal mechanism to intervene in Los Angeles.
“This is an unknown area. It is pushing on the constitutional allowance,” says Joshos Kastantberg, a lawyer and a former US Air Force judge.
The last president of the National Guard from one side is Richard Nixon, who published the service members of New York in 1970 during a US postal service strike. About a century ago, in 1894, President Grover Cleveland sent the National Guard forces to Chicago during the kick of the railway worker known as Pullman Strike
Most of the time, the National Guard is mobilized at the request of the ruler of the state. When the National Guard is federal, the president has direct control. In this case, Mr. Trump ordered the soldiers to protect federal employees and federal property.
But even that modest task that can be a challenge for service members who have limited training, if any, in the application of local law. Lieutenant Colonel Vanandingham says that the active service forces “are trained to fight and kill, and not to engage in police activities fourth, fifth and sixth.”
In a statement About the deployment of about 700 naval infantry, the Northern US leadership said that these forces “were trained to cancel the escalation, control of the crowds, and permanent rules for the use of force.”
On June 7, the presidential note does not mention Los Angeles and sets a 60 -day schedule for the deployment of federal forces, which may give flexibility in the White House to respond to ice -related disorders in other cities.
