‘War Zone’ Los Angeles
THE Trump He may not send troops to Ukraine, but to Los Angeles he does it … observing his word: « First America ». The city of angels tends to turn into a hell.
The soldiers who will be deployed in Los Angeles will be able to put citizens under temporary detention until they reach the point of law enforcement services and arrest them, a high -ranking military official said today (11/6).
Lieutenant General Scott Sherman, the head of the 4,700 -troop development operation, said the members of the mission do not have the right to arrest. The 700 Marines are trained in how to manage social unrest and will not have real ammunition in their weapons, he assured.
Pictures of their current education in view of their development in Los Angeles:
According to Sherman, the Marines will not grow on the streets of the city today but will be there « soon ».
A little earlier, Defense Minister Pitt Hegschez said that the development of thousands of soldiers in Los Angeles is about maintaining law and order so that federal agents could do their job.
« The mission to Los Angeles (…) is about maintaining the law and order on behalf of law enforcement agents, who are entitled to do their job without attacking them, » Hegschez said in a US Senate.
The minister insisted that the development of 4,000 members of the National Guard and 700 Marines in Los Angeles is « legal and constitutional ».
Extending demonstrations to Los Angeles
At the same time, demonstrations break out in large cities (New York, Atlanta, Chicago) with a central slogan being rejected by ICE policy and militarization of public order.
In the center of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass imposed a night traffic ban, while police reported « mass arrests » after looting in five squares.
California’s Attorney General Rob Bonda warned that the use of the Army to support Ice may violate the 1878 Posse Comitatus law, which prohibits the Armed Forces from participating in political policing.
The escalation culminates in the face of Saturday, where more than 1,800 demonstrations are designed by the No Kings movement, with the slogan being rejected by authoritarianism and politics « first the billionaires ».
The mobilizations coincide with the 250th anniversary of the US Army in Washington and Trump’s 79th birthday, where armor and tens of thousands of police and federal agents are expected.
