Los Angeles Immigration Protests Spark National Guard Deployment Amid Tensions
In a dramatic escalation of tensions surrounding immigration policies, Los Angeles has seen the deployment of 700 Marine troops as protests erupt across the city. This move follows an earlier decision by the Trump administration to send 2,000 National Guard troops to manage the unrest. President Trump has now announced an additional 2,000 National Guard members will be dispatched, even threatening the arrest of California governor gavin Newsom, who has been vocal in his opposition to thes measures.
Governor Newsom has consistently criticized the deployment of National Guard troops, labeling it a provocative and politically motivated action. In response to the situation, California’s administration has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, pointing fingers at the federal government for exacerbating the crisis. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has stated that the decision to deploy troops was made without consulting the governor, accusing Trump of overstepping his authority and attempting to create chaos for his own political gain.
