Donald Trump continues his war against democratic cities – Liberation
After A week of events Unprecedented since his return to power, Donald Trump maintains the pressure and still raises his tone. This Sunday, he called on his Truth Social Network to « Redouble efforts to stop and expel illegal foreigners from the largest American cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, where millions of illegal foreigners live ». The American president therefore continues his crusade, started on Saturday, June 7 with the sending of national and navy guards In the Democratic City of Los Angeles, against the opinion of the governor of California Gavin Newsom. Officially, it was a question of watching a « insurrection »largely fantasized, after clashes broke out between city police and demonstrators who challenged the migratory police raids against the foreign megalopolis population.
But the strategy of the Republican rather resembles a real open war against his opponents which he describes as « Far left democrats » has « The sick spirit ». With very concrete consequences: the brutal and arbitrary descents of the ICE, the migratory police, have separated from families, and instilled in the immigrant community a true terror who strikes whole sections of the American productive apparatus. Undreable workers, a real fuel from part of the economy, especially in California, no longer dare to go to work for fear of being arrested.
To obey the presidential obsession to impose at all costs the « The biggest program of massive evictions in history »the migratory authorities multiply the increasingly wide blows of nets, and sometimes stop people completely in good standing, on a simple crime of facies. They are pushed by a real policy of the figure, carried by The chief ideologist of the White House, advisor Stephen Millerwhich claims an almost untenable quota of 3,000 arrests per day.
The President’s announcement intervenes the next day of a national manifestation against its autocratic drift. Millions of people paraded everywhere in the United States to denounce its brutal migration policy, and its less and less masked assaults against the Democratic Building of the United States. A largely peaceful mobilization, apart from a few very localized overflows, notably in Los Angeles where the authorities carried out around thirty arrests for non-compliance with the curfew imposed for a week in the city center.
This Sunday, the atmosphere was in absolute calm in the Californian city where some rare demonstrators gathered in front of the town hall to continue to protest against the presence of soldiers in the streets. « We will stay there until the National Guard and the Marines emittestifies Tracy, 22, while several demonstrators in Bikinis begin a joyful dance on the forecourt of the town hall against the Impavid police. True violence is that of ICE agents. And the presence of soldiers here only ties things up. ”
Despite a bright sun, the maintenance of the curfew and the buzzing of helicopters plunge the Downtown Los Angeles district in a tense atmosphere. The mayor of the city, Karen Bass, said that the measure will remain in force « For at least two days for another »in an interview with the local KTLA chain: « We do not know how many raids will take place, we do not know what the nature of the raids will be, and whenever it happens, it really generates a lot of anger in the city. »
But in the parallel bubble of his Truth Social network, Donald Trump evokes « Criminogenic and murderous city centers »where the aggressor becomes the attacked. Not only does he refuse to recognize the violence of migratory raids, but his agents become victims: « Every day, the brave men and women of the ICE are subject to acts of violence, harassment and even threats from radical democratic politicians. » And to insist that the migratory police always have for « Order to do their best to reach » their objectives.
Rather than taking advantage of the relative appeasement of this Sunday, the billionaire therefore puts a room in the machine. He confirms that he wants to hold the showdown to the end. Both at the judicial level, since the deployment of the army in Los Angeles was tried « illegal »THURSDAYby a federal judge from California, but the call of the White House, while allowing soldiers to remain posted, should bring the case to the Supreme Court. But also in the street, because if the raids continue with the same brutality, the demonstrators should quickly find the path of the pavers.
