National Guard soldiers began arriving at Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday under the direct orders of US President Donald Trump, marking an extraordinary step to claim federal rights and trigger fierce political and legal pushbacks amid protests against immigration raids.According to The New York Times, Trump deployed 2,000 soldiers from the California National Guard without the request of Governor Gavin Newsom, the first such action after 1965. That year, President Lindon B. Johnson made the guard federal to protect the civil rights march in Alabama.Newsom said, “This step is purposefully inflammatory and will only increase stress,” Newsom said, “said the order abuse of military power. He later warned on X, “Federal officials want a spectacle. Don’t give them one. Never use violence. Speak peacefully.”According to the news agency AFP, helmets-carrying troops carrying long guns and traveling in armored vehicles were seen in Competon and Downtown Los Angeles, in areas where federal immigration agents protested after widely raided, arresting more than 100 people in the majority Latino neighborhoods.On Friday and Saturday, there was a confrontation in Paramount and Competon, federal officials fired tear gas and flash-bang grenade on protesters. In Competon, a guard with a Mexican flag stood in front of a burnt car spray, paint with anti-iIe slogans.Unrest inspired us to defend the action of Homeland’s Security Secretary Christie NoM, facing CBS, “The National Guard is particularly trained for this type of crowd position.” Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the active-duty marine at Camp Pendulton was on high alert and could be deployed when the violence increases.Trump justified the federal activation of the guards under the title 10, USC 12406, which allows such deployment to be “rebellion” against the federal authority. His instructions said, “To the extent that protests or actions directly disrupt the execution of laws, they create a form of rebellion.”But critics saw the move as an overache. “For the federal government, California National Guard is really chilling, without the Governor’s request, to reduce the protest,” said Erwin Camereinsky of UC Burkeley School of Law.Speaking on CNN, Nantar Bargan of California Congress accused the administration of targeting peaceful protests. “We are doing a administration that is targeting peaceful protest … The President is sending the National Guard because he does not like the scenes. ,Republican leaders supported Trump’s actions. House speaker Mike Johnson dismissed concerns on this week of ABC, stating that the newsom “showed the inability or reluctance to do what is necessary.” He said that Marine’s potential deployment was not “heavy”.The deployment compared to handle Trump’s opposition during his first term. In 2020, military helicopters were used to disperse protesters in Washington, DC, opposing police violence.According to news agency AP, protests continued outside the federal buildings and near the Metropolitan Detention Center on Sunday evening. Police announced illegal assemblies in some areas and arrested, while the authorities in Paramount raised prickly wires to prevent the growth of the crowd.The AFP said to the 24 -year -old Guard Fernando Delgado, “These are injustice. Those detained humans are in any way. ,Senator Berney Sanders posted on X, “Conduct illegal raids on a large scale. Furore a per-response. Declare an emergency situation. Call in soldiers … unacceptable.”Despite the backlash, a CBS News Poll, a CBS News before the unrest, showed that a little minor Americans have still supported Trump’s immigration crack.
