California sues Trump: National Guard under fire for protests!

Los Angeles, Kalifornien, USA - The situation in Los Angeles continues to escalate because US President Donald Trump sends an additional 2,000 members of the National Guard to the city. This step takes place in the context of massive protests that broke out on June 8 after the immigration authority ICE had carried out large -scale raids on June 6th. These raids led to a wave of demonstrations in which many people went on the streets, some of them became violent and looted business. The Los Angeles police took over two hours to react to the troubled protests while the demonstrators surrounded a federal building.

California and argues that the use of the National Guard was illegal because governor Gavin Newsom did not agree. Trump, on the other hand, relies on the "Title 10" of the US code to legitimize his decision. While the protests in Los Angeles continue to continue and the police are using glare grenades and throwing floors, Newsom announces to send 800 additional police officers to the city.

reactions to the use of the National Guard

The Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, criticized the measures of the Trump government as provocative. At the same time, the FBI identifies a masked demonstrator who attacked a federal official and exposes a reward of $ 50,000 for information. While at least 50 people were arrested by the LAPD during the protests, democratic politicians show that Trump's reactions are exaggerated and unnecessary.

Trump, on the other hand, vehemently defends the use of the National Guard and claims that Los Angeles would "burn" without these measures. The National Guard remains in the city, as long as Trump sees the need behind it. In his statements, he indicated that the "Insurrection Act" could also be considered in order to act against protests, which he sometimes refers to "insurrectionists".

Extension of the protests

The protests have now expanded to other cities, including San Francisco, where thousands of people mostly demonstrated peacefully, although smaller incidents occurred in the evening. Trump warns the citizens that they could possibly be confronted with "massive violence" at the upcoming parade for the 250th anniversary of the US Army in Washington, which further fueled the tensions. In Mexico City, people also protested Trump's migration policy, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is calling for non-violence and criticizing Trump's procedure as human rights violation.

While the situation is getting worse, it remains unclear when the National Guard Los Angeles will leave. Trump has not published any specific schedules in his recent statements and emphasized that they will remain until the danger is to be overcome.
