In response to President Donald Trump’s decision, thousands of protesters have gone into the streets of the National Guard in the city who blocked one of the motorways and burned autonomous vehicles. Local security forces deployed tear gas, rubber projectiles and flash grenades to control the crowd. Informed AP, writes TASR.
Some police officers patrolled on the streets on horses, while others with equipment for suppressing the riots were lined up for the National Guard soldiers, which they deployed to protect federal buildings, including the retention center, where they have placed part of the detainee immigrants in recent days.
The precipitation took place on the third day of demonstrations against the intervention of Trump’s government against Los Angeles immigration. Sunday’s arrival of approximately 300 members of the National Guard caused anger and concern for some residents.
The presence of Guard members encourages tensions in the city, California Governor Gavin News said in a letter to Trump on Sunday afternoon. He officially asked the President to dismiss the guard. “We had no problem until Trump was involved. It is a serious violation of the state sovereignty – the tension of tension while draining resources from places where they are actually needed”He said.
“In Los Angeles we see the chaos that evokes (Trump’s) administration”Said Mayor Karen Bass at a press conference.” This is about another agenda, not about public security. “
Trump claims that the posting of the National Guard was needed because Newsom and other Democrats failed to stop protests against immigration agents. The National Guard is usually subordinate to the relevant governor. According to the New York Times, this is the first time in 60 years since the President took command of her command without the consent of the governor.
