A federal judge in San Francisco will decide on Thursday whether President Donald Trump has legal power to send 4,700 soldiers from the Navy and National Guard to Los Angeles without the consent of the governor. The purpose is stated to be to protect the border police ICE’s property and personnel.

Governor Gavin Newsom has tried to stop the president’s sent military and sued earlier this week Trump.

On Thursday, a congressional hearing will also be held in Washington DC on the government’s criticized migration measures. Several democratic governors testified before the House of Representatives’ supervisory committee. Among them Minnesotas Governor Tim Walz, Kathy Hochul from New York and JB Pritzker in Illinois, reports several US media, including CBS News.

The last six days the United States has been characterized by somewhat violent protests against the Border Police Ice’s repeated raids to deprive of people who illegally reside in the country.

As of Wednesday, military participated in arrests in a 440 square kilometer area against Mexico, which Trump recently appointed as « national defense area » – over 1,400 people have been arrested there.

Three migrants who tried to enter the United States during the night towards Thursday were some of the first to be temporarily arrested by military, General Lieutenant Chad Campbell told AP:

– The Ministry of Defense reacted to stopping the three people and asking them to sit down. In the course of three minutes, the border police came to arrest them, so the three minutes are temporary detention, says Campbell.

It is one of total two Military defense areas that Trump has so far appointed along the southern border with Mexico: a 97 kilometer stretch in western Texas, from El Paso to Fort Hancock.

The Trump administration also plans to increase the number of militarized zones along the border, said a military spokesperson on Wednesday at a press conference in El Paso according to the AP.

– We have been very clear that additional national defense areas will be added along the southern border. I’m not going to speculate on where they will be, said Geoffrey Carmichael, spokesperson for the border guard.

Migrants who enter through these militarized zones risk 18 months in prison plus another six months for illegal entry, reports the AP.

Harder grip toward the paperless Residents have been one of Trump’s foremost political messages and one of his nuclear designers’ most important issues. However, the resistance is strong.

A dozen mayors of the Los Angeles area have with a unified force turned to Trump with demands that Ice cease its raids.

The protests have spread to big cities throughout the country and many fear that Trump puts military in more places. On Saturday, over 1,800 Trump-critical demonstrations are planned with the slogan « No Kings » for the president’s 79th birthday, which is celebrated with a gigantic military parade in Washington DC.
