California responds to the provocations of Donald Trump while the president of the United States redoubles his order. Gavin Newsom, the most populous Democratic governor in the country, said he will demand the Republican Administration for the presence of the National Guard in Los Angeles. After that announcement, the president continues with his authoritarian rhetoric and has indicated that he would see Newson. “It would be something great,” he said.
Upon arriving this Monday at the White House from Camp David (Maryland), journalists asked Trump about the exchange between Newsom and the Tsar of the White House border, Tom Homan, who threatened to arrest anyone who hinders immigration control efforts, including the governor and mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass. Homan said that neither leaders had “crossed the line” yet, but Newsom responded in an interview with NBC News that the border advisor should stop blushing and “finish once”, saying: “stop me, go ahead.”
Trump has answered challenging. “I would do it if it were Tom,” he said on Monday. Trump at the White House after returning from Camp David. “Gavin likes advertising, but I think it would be something great. He has done a terrible job, look, I like Gavin Newsom, he is a pleasant guy, but he is tremendously incompetent, everyone knows it,” he added.
The White House to reach the Californian city, which adds three days of protests for the migratory raids of the federal government. “The order that [Trump] He signed not only applies to California, but will allow him to enter any state to do the same, ”said Newsom on social networks.
Hours before, Trump sent a message that promised to climb things even more: “Things in Los Angeles look very bad: they send the troops !!!”. Upon arriving at the White House, he has described “insurrectionists” to protesters against migratory raids.
He has also defended the sending of soldiers in a hyperbolic way. “We made a great decision when sending to the National Guard to deal with the violent instigated disturbances in California. If we had not done it, the angels would have been completely destroyed,” in that message he has assured that Newsom should be grateful.
Newsom insists that the presence of the National Guard is unnecessary, which will be highlighted for two months, according to the memorandum signed by Trump. The state government and the Los Angeles authorities assure that most demonstrations against federal raids pass peacefully., He summoned thousands of people in the city center. There were moments of tension and several acts of vandalism. The day resulted in 27 people arrested by the Los Angeles Police, who has carried out the bulk of the dispersion and containment tasks of the protesters.
At the moment, the presence of the National Guard military is limited to the surveillance of a federal building in which the undocumented people who have been arrested in recent days by the Immigration Police, ICE are held. The guards are armed with batons, riot -raffle shields and high -power rifles. They have not collided with protesters, but their presence alone has tensioned things in downtown Los Angeles.
“Currently, there is no need for the National Guard to be highlighted in Los Angeles, and in doing so illegally, for so long it is a serious violation of sovereignty that seems to be intentionally designed to inflame the situation,” Newsom wrote in a letter addressed to Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of Defense. He threatened Saturday by sending Navy military to Los Angeles if the situation is not controlled. Newsom considered “crazy” the warning.
Federal and local authorities have also starred in a verbal escalation in the last hours. Tom Homan, the Tsar of the Border of the Republican Administration, was in Los Angeles over the weekend, to send a hard message to the inhabitants of this city. “We will continue to do operations against immigrants every day, no matter whether they like it or not,” he said in a challenging tone. The official promised to stop any official who interposes with federal operations, launching direct threats to Mayor Angelina, Karen Bass, and Governor Newsom.
“You think you are a hard guy, come, you know where I am. That comes once and for all and stop me to put an end to all this … I care about a slum,” said Newsom in reference to Homin night. “Maybe I stop bothering girls of four years that all they want is to go to school to educate … These people who want to live their life,” said Newsom.
The Democratic governor, who has not ruled out contending to the presidency in 2028, has been backed by his party in this pulse with Washington. Kamala Harris, the former presidential Democratic, and who lives in Los Angeles, ha. “The protest is a powerful and essential tool for justice. As the Local Police, the mayor and the governor, has pointed out, the demonstrations in defense of our undocumented neighbors have been mostly peaceful,” Harris wrote in a statement. The former Vice President of Joe Biden is currently valuing whether he launches a campaign to happen to Newsom in the position of governor.
