Los Angeles (AP) – 2000 National Guard soldiers are heading alongside 700 naval infantry to Los Angeles on the orders of President Donald Trump, and an escalation of a military presence for local officials and the Gavin New News Ruler. The police chief does not want that logistical challenges to deal with protests safely.
Early guard forces began with a matter that Trump ordered to arrive on Sunday, and which witnessed the largest violence in three days of the outrage led by the enforcement of the immigration laws that Trump said, which critics say is the disintegration of immigrant families.
Monday demonstrations were less noisy, as thousands came in peace in a mass in the city hall and hundreds of protest outside a federal complex that includes a detention center where some immigrants are held after raids at the workplace throughout the city.
Trump Los Angeles described in terrible phrases that Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom say anywhere close to the truth. They say it endangers public safety by adding military personnel, although the police say they do not need help.
Los Angeles Police chief Jim MacDonil said in a statement that he was confident of the police department’s ability to deal with widespread demonstrations and that the arrival of Marines without coordination with the police department would make a “logical and operational challenge” for them.
Newsom described reckless bulletins and “lack of respect for our forces” in a post on the social platform x.
“This is not related to public safety,” said newsom. “It comes to the pursuit of the arrogance of the dangerous president.”
The protests began on Friday after federal immigration authorities arrested more than 40 people throughout the city. The smell of smoke was suspended in the city center on Monday, one day after the crowds prevented a main highway and put self -driving cars in the fire while the police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash bombs.
Additional protests against immigration raids until Monday continued in several other cities, including San Francisco and Santa Anna, California, Dallas and Austin, Texas.
California returns against the presence of federal forces
California Prosecutor Rob Punta filed a lawsuit for the use of the National Guard forces in the aftermath of the first publication, and reported that Trump had “fell” the state’s sovereignty.
“We are not minor to the president who abuses his authority and illegally mobilizing the National Guard forces in California,” Punta said. A court order was asked to announce the use of Trump for the illegal guard and requested a restricted order to stop the publication.
Trump said the city was “completely obliterated” if the guard was not published.
American officials said that the naval infantry was deployed to protect federal property and employees, including immigration agents. A convoy left 10 to 15 buses with black windows and accompanied by sheriff cars, and left the base at Twentynine Palms in the desert east of Los Angeles late on Monday and headed towards the city, and stopped around one in the morning on the beach of the marine weapons station, about 20 miles (35 km) south of the city center of Los Angeles.
Despite their presence, there has been limited participation so far between the guard and the demonstrators while local law enforcement is carried out control of the crowds.
Early protests remained peaceful
On Monday, thousands of streets were immersed around the city hall to attend a union gathering before a hearing of the Labor leader, arrested by David Hyrta, who was released a few hours after a bond worth $ 50,000. Hyrta’s arrest became Friday, while the protest against the immigration raids was a cry that brought together angry people from the management campaign. He is the head of the international service employees of the California International Federation, who represents thousands of state members, security personnel and other workers.
Early protests had a calm and even joyful atmosphere, as people danced on live music and created Huerta.
The demonstrators linked their hands in front of a group of police officers outside the Federal Detention Center in the city center, where Herta was detained. Religious leaders joined the demonstrators, and sometimes worked with the organizers to cancel the moments of tension.
There was a heavy law enforcement in the few square blocs including the federal detention facility, while most of them in the huge city of about 4 million people in their normal work in the peaceful streets.
With the mobilization dilution, the police began pushing the demonstrators away from the area, which led to the release of the munitions of the crowd while the people chanted, “a peaceful protest.” The officers have become more aggressive in their tactics in the evening, and sometimes they rise forward to arrest the demonstrators who approached. At least ten people stay in the crowded Little Little neighborhood surrounded by police and detention.
Other protests protested on Monday all over Los Angeles Province. Outside the warehouse, relatives of the detained workers at a press conference called for the release of their loved ones.
The Yacoub Vasquiz family, 35, who was reserving on Friday in the warehouse, said that they had not received any information about him yet.
“Jabriel is a family man and the only one in his family,” said Vasquiz’s brother Gabriel. He asked not to use his last name, for fear of targeting the authorities.
Several dozens of people were arrested throughout the weekend protests. The authorities say that one of them was arrested on Sunday to throw a Molotov cocktail in the police and another to crack a motorcycle in a group of officers.
Spreading the guard is an unprecedented escalation
Publishing appears to be the first time in decades, the National Guard of the state has been activated without the request of its ruler, and it is a major escalation against those who sought to hinder the collective deportation efforts of the administration.
The last time the National Guard was activated without the permission of the ruler in 1965, when President Lindon Johnson sent forces to protect the civil rights march in Alabama, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
In the direction on Saturday, Trump protested a legal item that allows him to publish members of federal service when there is “a rebellion or a risk of rebellion against the authority of the United States government.”
