Trump sends National Guard to Los Angeles - escalate protests!
Los Angeles, Kalifornien, USA - In Los Angeles it is bubbling! Massive protests against the federal authorities and their stubborn migration policy keep the city in suspense. The triggers were the raids of hooded and armed officials who arrested numerous migrants in the past few days. US President Donald Trump reacted to this and ordered the sending of 2,000 national guards to counter "lawlessness". Trump's spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt blames the democratic leadership in Los Angeles and California for the situation that she describes as "incompetent".
The protests that have reached their peak in the past few days are not just a finger at the federal authorities' approach. The demonstrating vehemently demand the immediate release of the arrested migrants. Violence had not failed to fail. Violent clashes between federal police and demonstrators began on Friday and Saturday - the use of glare grenades and tear gas was in line with the crowd.

California's governor Gavin Newsom has publicly warned that the Federal Government is planning to deprive the state to withdraw control over the national guard. This would be a significant escalation of the already tense situation. Newsom emphasizes that the authorities in Los Angeles see no need for the use of national guards, which further fuels political tensions.
President Trump, who is not afraid to show a sharp rhetoric, also criticized the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, and gave her the mocking nickname "Newscum". He announced that the federal government would not hesitate to act against "riots and looters". These statements are in the context of his migration policy, which aimed at mass deportation and was shaped by racist and inhuman slogans during his election campaign.
an escalating situation
The incidents in Los Angeles are part of a broader discussion about migration policy in the United States. The current federal government has also filed a lawsuit against the state of New York in order to counteract the politics there, which is considered an undermining of its migration strategies. Such legal steps illustrate how seriously Trump tackles control over immigration topics and how much turmoil this policy triggers across the country. Further details on this lawsuit can be found on Spiegel.
What's next in Los Angeles? The situation remains tense and the citizens are concerned about how far the national and local authorities will go to combat protests and the handling of migrants. It remains to be seen whether the national guard is actually needed or whether governor Newsom and the city administration find other ways to maintain peace.
