The Pentagon planned to use around 700 Marines to Los Angeles on Monday to help the members of the National Guard react to immigration protestsIts useThe streets of the city went from the guard forces and the growing number of demonstrators for a fourth day.
The Marines moved to LA from their base in Twentynine Palms in the South California desert, said the officers on the condition of anonymity to discuss military plans.
The California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the planned lawsuit by announcing reporters that Trump had “stepped on the sovereignty of the state with feet”.
“We do not bring the president easy to abuse his authority and illegally mobilize the troops of the California National Guard,” said Bonta. He planned to apply for a judicial order in which Trump explains the use of the guard illegally and asked for an injunction to set the operation.
The smell of Rauch hung in the air in the city center on Monday, a day after the crowd blocked a large highway and set up self-driving cars when the police reacted with tear gas, rubber balls and flash-bang grenades. It could take days to remove the rubble from burned cars and to clean or paint graffiti on the town hall and other nearby buildings.
The presence of the law enforcement agencies was difficult, and police cars blocked the street in front of the federal adhesion, which was a focus of the protests.
But the clashes accounted for a few square models in a huge city of around 4 million people, most of whom started their normal business on peaceful roads.
On Monday, thousands of people flooded from a hearing to a hearing from the arrested Labor leader David Huerta, who was released a few hours later due to a $ 50,000 deposit. Huerta’s arrest on Friday, when he protested against immigration attacks, has become a scream of meeting for people who are upset by the government’s procedure. He is President of the Service Employees International Union California, which represents thousands of caretaker, security officers and other workers in the state.
In the past, the religious leaders joined demonstrators in front of the federal authority in the city center, in which Huerta was held, and at times worked to suppress outbreaks of anger in the otherwise peaceful demonstration. Demonstrators combined their hands and sometimes sang in front of a number of police officers who unsuccessfully asked people to pull from the street to the sidewalk.
Bonta accused Trump to subject the demonstrators’ trouble with his announcement of the mission. “It wasn’t inevitable,” he said.
Trump said on Monday that the city had been “completely wiped out” if he hadn’t used the guard.
Later, at an event of the White House, he added that state leaders “were afraid to do something”.
US officials said that around 1,000 members of the National Guard were in the city until noon Monday. The full 2,000 members approved by the President were expected to be on site at the end of the day. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of the military operations.
The National Guard arrival followed two protest days that started on Friday in the city center of Los Angeles before spreading to Paramount on Saturday, a strong Latin American city south of the city, andneighboring Compton.
Other protests took shape on Monday afternoon, and further protests were planned for cities across the country.
Outside of a clothing camp in Los Angeles, relatives of imprisoned workers asked for their relatives to be published at a press conference.
The family of Jacob Vasquez, 35, who was arrested in the warehouse on Friday, where he worked, said they had not yet received any information about him.
“Jacob is a family man and the only breadwinner of his household,” said Vasquez’s brother Gabriel of the crowd. He asked that his last name was not used because he feared that he was targeted by the authorities.
On Sunday, many demonstrators were distributed when the evening fell, and the police declared an illegal assembly, a forerunner for civil servants who move in and those arrested to refuse. Some of those who remained threw a present behind a temporary barrier to the police. Others hurled concrete, rocks, electric scooters and fireworks at California Highway Patrol Officers and their vehicles. The officials ran under a transfer to cover themselves at one point.
The guard wasspecially providedTo protect federal buildings, including the city center, on which demonstrators focused on.
Jim McDonnell, chief of police from Los Angeles, said the officers were “overwhelmed” by the remaining demonstrators. He said they included regular agitators who appear in demonstrations to cause trouble.
Several dozen people were arrested all weekend. One was arrested on Sunday
Governor says the guard is not needed
Newsom called for Trump to lift the wax mission in oneletterSunday calls it a “serious violation of state sovereignty”.
The governor, who meets with local law enforcement agencies and civil servants in Los Angeles, also told the demonstrators that they would be played in Trump’s plans and would be arrested for violence or ownership disorder.
“Trump wants chaos and he has guided violence,” he said. “Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the apology that he is looking for.”
The operation seemed to be the first time in decades that the national guard of a state was activated without the governor’s request, an important escalation against those who have tried to hinder those who have been hinderedMass deportation of the administrationEfforts.
Newsom has now repeatedly said that the California authorities had the situation under control. He mocked Trump for publishing a message of congratulations on the guard on social media before troops had even arrived in Los Angeles.
The last time the national guard was activated without the permission of a governor was in 1965 when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to protect a civil rights march in Alabama, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
In AGuidelineOn Saturday, Trump referred to a legal provision that made it possible for him to make members of the Federal Service if “a rebellion or a danger of a rebellion against the authority of the United States”.
