The National Guard arrives in Los Angeles by order of Trump

Elements of the National Guard began reaching the city of Los Angeles on Sunday morning after US President Donald Trump ordered them to send them a rare spread against the state ruler’s desire after protests erupted, some of which were violent against the backdrop of severe raids to implement immigration laws.
The Republican President declared federal control of the California State Army to introduce its elements into the second largest city in the country, in a decision that the Democratic Governor Gavin Newsum considered as “incitement”. It is the first time in decades the elements of the National Guard have been published without the approval of the governor of the state concerned.
Elements spread their military uniforms, their automatic weapons and their shields near the city municipality, located on the western coast of the country, amid calls for a “great move” in front of the second building in the afternoon (21:00 GMT).
The US military said that 300 soldiers from the 79th Infantry Brigade were deployed in three different locations in the Los Angeles major area, and they “protect property and federal crews.”
This comes two days after the confrontations during which the federal elements fired sound bombs and tear gas canisters towards a crowd to express his anger at the arrest of dozens of migrants in the city that includes a large Latin community.
On Sunday, Republicans confirmed that they were standing alongside Trump in rejecting statements by Newcomi and other local officials, in which they considered that the protests are peaceful in their majority and that the deployment of the National Guard would exacerbate tensions.
“I am absolutely no concern,” said Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson, to the ABC.
Commenting on the defense minister, Beit Higseth, hinting with the help of the Marines to support the National Guard, Johnson said that he does not see an exaggeration in this, adding, “We have to be ready to do what is necessary.”
“The authorities want a scene. Do not take it. Do not use violence. Express your positions peacefully.”
California, Nanite Paragua, said in a statement to CNN, that those who commit violence “must be arrested … but this is not what is happening.”
“We are facing an administration targeting peaceful protests … the president sends the National Guard because the viewer does not like it.”
“President Trump signed a presidential note to publish two thousand elements of the National Guard to deal with the chaos that was allowed to exacerbate,” said White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitte.
She emphasized that “the Trump administration has a zero -tolerant policy of criminal behavior and violence, especially when this violence targets law enforcement officers who are trying to take their jobs.”
Trump congratulated the guards on “performing the mission well” before midnight Saturday.
The National Guard (a reserve army) is usually used when natural disasters such as Los Angeles fires, sometimes in civil disturbances, are used, but this is associated with the approval of local political officials.
American activist Kenneth Ross, who was the head of Human Rights Watch, explained that it is the first time since 1965, the head of the National Guard has been published without the request of the governor of the state. He believed that Trump “is reviewing to continue the raids of immigration.”
However, the Minister of Internal Security Christie Nayyoud stressed in statements to “CBS” that members of the National Guard “are specially trained to deal with these cases of the movements of the crowd.
