(Updated with an additional Sunday morning comment) Underlying Aggressive ice raids widespread and the demonstrations and the resistance responding in the last 24 hours, Los Angeles has become a powder barrel with Donald Trump Deploy 2,000 California National Guard troops on the governor’s objection Gavin Newsom and other Socal leaders
While the launch of Roche and the Angelenos sought to prevent undocumented people targeted by masked and heavily armored federal agents Home Depot in Paramount, California. And the Westlake district on Saturday, Trump went to social networks to announce a de facto taking of the city of the Angels. “If Governor Gavin Newscum, California, and mayor Bass karenFrom Los Angeles, cannot do their job, which everyone knows that they cannot, then the federal government will intervene and solve the problem, riots and looters, the way it should be resolved !!! “He said (Caps’ Trump).

Declaring “to the extent that demonstrations or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States” in a memorandum today, Trump says that the “duration of federalized duty will be 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense”.
Early Sunday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “the masks will not be allowed to be worn during the demonstrations”. He wrote: “What should these people hide, and why ??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done! ” Ironically, federal agents have worn masks during ICE Raids, bringing certain Democrats to ask the same questions about the reasons why they will not show their faces.
No other details have been published on how the troops will be deployed, where they will be deployed, if there will be a curfew and if the local police work with them – although the LAPD has referred to the troubles that Trump reacted as “peaceful”, in a statement published on Saturday evening. By increasing the challenges even more and seeming to ignore the federal law, the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, proclaimed that “if the violence continues, the Marines in active service at the Pendleton camp will also be mobilized – they are on alert.”
Nothing also indicates that the local police estimated that they needed a great safeguard or, even with a Fire car in the streetshad lost control, which is the usual standard for calling on the National Guard.
What we know is that with the so-called under such a great threat that thousands of soldiers have to go out in the streets, Trump is sitting at the edge of the ring at the moment during the UFC 13 show in Newark, New Jersey.

With the boss of the UFC and the friend of Trump Dana White, Potus Socialise with the primordial owner David Ellison, the former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, the acting lawyer of the New Jersey Alina Habba and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as the members of the Ivanka Trump family, Jared Kushner and Eric Trump. Right next to Trump at the last PASE-POTUS of the UFC, Elon Musk was nowhere on Saturday. Not surprising because the ex-head and Trump had a very, very public and hot fall last week with flames thrown on both sides.
Quickly supported by local and regional politicians from California in the middle of the situation in Los Angeles, Governor Gavin Newsom confirmed and condemned the action of Trump’s almost unprecedented troops.
“This decision is deliberately inflammatory and will only degenerate the tensions,” said Democrat and Trump Foil about the federal “takeover” of the State by the National Guard, which he did not expressly want. “The Los Angeles authorities are able to access law enforcement at any time. We are in close coordination with the city and the county, and there is currently no unsatisfied need.
In an article a few minutes earlier, Newsom said that the thing not so that was aloud in a country that has been launched by a constitutional crisis after the other since Trump came into office with authoritarian measures. “The federal government dries chaos so that it can have an excuse to intensify,” said the governor. “This is not how any civilized country behaves.”
With more planned protests, Newsom has put California Highway Patrol on the stage to ensure that security “is maintained on California motorways”. Presence of his former boss, Senator Alex Padilla added: “The Trump administration only sowing chaos and division in our communities.” Mayor Bass has adopted a more usual circumstant approach
Others were much less circumstant.
The veteran showrunner Steven Deknight amplified the predictions of the place where it could go.
Friday, raids in the Los Angeles fashion district and in other places in DTLA, as well as San Diego, saw responses organized in a hurry while demonstrators spun raids, raised in front of government vans and even attacked the federal building of Edward R. Roybal and the courthouse of the United States where the ice agents had taken the 100 people who had been caught. Among those affected on the ground by federal and kidnapped agents was Seiu Labor leader David Huertawhich has led to a support of support of Unions and guilds Everywhere in the state and the nation – although the Hollywood Sag -Aftra guilds and the WGA are silent so far.
With all this that drops, it is the gas shooting lapd which appeared Friday evening to clean the area around the Roybal and take out the staff trapped in the ice – or at least tried to do so. This despite the insistence of the mayor Bass and the LAPD chief that the police would not get involved.
By looking at a configuration more and more, Trump’s move came only a few hours after his deportation manager, Tom Homan, did the news of Fox to warn the what was going to happen if the streets were not emptied as soon as possible. “We are going to bring the National Guard this evening,” he said, echoing various administration officials and secretaries of the cabinet. “We will continue to do our job. We will repel these people, and we will enforce the law. ”
Directed by the deputy chief of staff of the White House and the man often called Trump Prime Minister Stephen Miller, raised by Santa Monica, other Loyalists of Trump like Vice-President JD Vance went to Elon Musk’s X platform to support their boss.
No one in power openly says that the words “act of insurrection”, but Vance and Miller may have overlooked their hands when they started to push Trump’s legislative agenda. “It is time to adopt the beautiful bill of President Trump and to secure the border,” said Vance on the bill increasingly unstable that even Musk attacked as a deficit Bloater.
On the other side of the spectrum, the decrease in Governor Newsom to Trump bringing 2,000 soldiers to the last climbing of tension he has with the White House. After CNN reported that the Trump administration was preparing to Punish the state by retaining federal fundsNewsom has published a statement and video stressing that California taxes subsidize other states. He too threatened with cutting this dollars in taxes to the federal government.
As the Blackhawk helicopters would have been discharge a cache of weapons Saturday evening, near an installation of the realization of the DHS in Compton, the White House published another declaration justifying its actions. “In recent days, violent crowds have attacked ice agents and federal law enforcement agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California,” said Press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The alleged “anarchy has been authorized to get worse,” added Leavitt: “The Trump administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when this violence is intended for agents of the application of laws that will try to do their job.
As all this was down, very few explosive events occurring in the second largest American city were covered on cable newspapers. In fact, it was the British BBC which was the only point of sale to be on the stage live because the order to bring in the guard was made.
While FNC discussed with the director of the CIA, and MSNBC remained on a segment on the actions passed on the ice, CNN initially stuck to its Panel programming after the live broadcast of the Tony Good night and good luck With George Clooney. It took almost 40 minutes to the chain belonging to Discovery Warner Bros. To cut to the news of Los Angeles.
