Trump deploys Federal Troops due to LA ICE protests

[Morphine Prince 109,655]

President Donald Trump’s administration said it would deploy 2,000 National Guard troops on Saturday as federal agents in Los Angeles faced off against demonstrators for a second day following immigration raids.

The security agents confronted around 100 protesters in the Paramount area in southeast Los Angeles, where some demonstrators displayed Mexican flags and others covered their mouths with respiratory masks.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, told Fox News that the National Guard would be deployed in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.

California Governor Gavin Newsom called the decision “purposefully inflammatory.”

“If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

The protests pit Democratic-run Los Angeles, where census data suggests a significant portion of the population is Hispanic and foreign-born, against Trump’s Republican White House, which has made cracking down on immigration a hallmark of his second term.

In the late afternoon, authorities began detaining some protesters, according to Reuters witnesses. There was no immediate official information of any arrests.

Video footage showed dozens of green-uniformed security personnel with gas masks lined up on a road strewn with overturned shopping carts as small canisters exploded into gas clouds.

“Now they know that they cannot go to anywhere in this country where our people are, and try to kidnap our workers, our people - they cannot do that without an organized and fierce resistance,” said protester Ron Gochez, 44.

A first round of protests kicked off on Friday night after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted enforcement operations in the city and arrested at least 44 people on alleged immigration violations.

My family is talking about this right now (we are from PA). This is crazy and evil. ICE went straight into a Home Depot, and now the far right wants to be shocked about the protests.

Notice how quickly they're doing this but on Jan 6 they took their time until Congress was under siege by domestic terrorists. Then Trump pardoned these terrorists.

As far as I'm concerned if this country elected a felon who pardons domestic terrorists, I am not blinking an eye if people want to respond violently to their neighbors being kidnapped by masked men in unmarked vehicles. 

[Roughhouse Dandy 13,612]

Every ICE agent deserves to suffer and every member of the national guard that defends them are traitors to this country.

Nuremberg 2 will be huge. 

[Emvee 8,829]

This is exactly what they were waiting for. I can’t wait for everyone involved in this to be in prison for their treason. Even worse if anyone one is killed for using their right to protest. 
 

And just so you guys know, these protests have not been that big. Yes there have been flashpoints that got media attention like the incident in San Diego, but the Trump regime has been salivating to deploy troops. And this is basically resulting in an occupation of Los Angeles. 
 

Understand this: this administration is objectively fascist. If you defend these actions, you are a fascist too.

Changed the title since they technically aren't CA's National Guard once Trump federalizes them.

more news channels need to talk about this. Could this lead to him declaring martial law?

Technically speaking, he's already had to use the Insurrection act in order to federalize these troops. We're basically already there, we're just waiting to see if the Troops comply or if they refuse to use force against civilians.

There is no law or justice in a country run by a felon. Nothing matters when the people in power don't follow due process and are hellbent on violating the Constitution.

I seriously don't care anymore. F*ck it up.

This is where I'm at too honestly.

This whole thing started 'cause Trump and his nazis were overstepping and trampling human rights.

If they want violence, fine. Have fun pitting 2000 soldiers against a city of 3.8 million then dealing with the nation wide backlash, riots in every major city, and citizens marching from coast to coast that have already shown up by the millions but remained peaceful. They will no longer have a reason to stay peaceful.

Idiot's opening a can of worms that'll eat him alive tbh.

[Franch Toast 27,737]

My friend who lives in Pasadena plans on heading downtown tomorrow two join the protests. In her words, the only way to stop it is for people to show up in numbers, especially white US citizens. 

I'm glad she has a strong moral compass, though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about her. But I'm glad she and so many people are standing up to tyranny.

The fact a criminal is claiming to be getting rid of criminals, it’s all a giant ****ed up joke. People will gladly fall in line to this felon and do his bidding it’s so ridiculous. Leave us Californians alone. 

[Scarlet Witch 1,656]

And libs will continue to cry about wanting to ban guns. My guy, the fascist MAGA nazis are in CONTROL of the enforcement branch of the government and they will not hesitate to lash out on anyone. Americans better start arming themselves to protect those who they care about (PoC, LGBTQ+ folks, etc)

He just wants to look tough.

It's no different from the other roughly dozen times he's turned soldiers on Americans.

All he wants is to look tough for a day or two, claim he really did something when he didn't, and spend the next few weeks talking about how he had to take control after "weak Karen Bass, a nasty woman, and Liddle Gavy Newsom failed to keep the peace".

Another ploy to gaslight his red hats into seeing Dems as anti-American criminals.

If he was really interested in doing something here he wouldn't have simultaneously sent the guard in while attending some UFC fight to get his c*ck stroked by a thousand p*ssy ass soft-boy mush brained boot-licking incel cucks.

Everything that senile piece of sh*t does is just for show. If he could throw big military parades and lift gold barbells while his goons clapped 24/7 he would but instead he has to put thousands of innocent (non-police and ICE) lives at risk.
