California governor calls move ‘purposefully inflammatory’ and says it will ‘escalate tensions’ amid immigration crackdownThe GuardianLauren Gambino & Diana Ramirez-SimonJune 8, 2025Donald Trump on Saturday authorized the deployment of 2,000 national guard troops to Los Angeles, after an immigration crackdown erupted into mass protests for a second day and police in riot gear used teargas on bystanders.The California governor, Gavin Newsom, said in a statement on X that the federal government was “moving to take over” the California national guard. Newsom said the mobilization was “purposefully inflammatory” and warned that it would “only escalate tensions”.“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle,” he said later. “Don’t give them one.”
He wants violence... he is hoping for violence... then he can declare a national emergence and declare Marshal Law!
The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, wrote on X that national guard troops were being mobilized “IMMEDIATELY” and threatened to send “active duty Marines” if the unrest continued.
Mark my words... this is the summer that the Constitution is torn up and fascism comes to the U.S. Trump is going to to declare that the Insurrection Act and the Posse Comitatus Act national wide because of his ICE storm troopers. Kent State will look like a walk in the park compared to what we will see this summer.
A Los Angeles sheriff’s department spokesperson said their office arrested two individuals for assaulting an officer, that one demonstrator threw a molotov cocktail, and that three deputies had been struck, with minor injuries. The sheriff’s office said the department “was focused solely on traffic management and crowd control” and was not involved in any federal law enforcement operations.By Saturday evening, protests in Paramount had dwindled from their peak on Saturday afternoon, but some protesters and authorities were engaged in a tense standoff. Protesters had also gathered in nearby Compton, amid reports that a few were hurling glass bottles at police, and police were deploying teargas.
The city had the protests under control and there is no need for troops! By Trump wants any excuse to declare an insurrection, they will continue to ratchet up the ICE raids until he gets the violence he warts to justify the troops.
On its end, the Trump administration moved aggressively.And they jump at any excuse. It will not matter if the city has it under control
“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs,” she said in a statement, announcing that Trump had signed a memo late Saturday night ordering the national guard deployment.
They want to create the violence to blame it on the protesters. It is going to be a long hot summer!
