Tensions remained high Sunday amid clashes between protesters and federal agents carrying out immigration raids across the Southland and President Donald Trump’s announced plans to deploy at least 2,000 National Guard troops to help quell the unrest.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that multiple people had been detained overnight after they “reentered the area of the Unlawful Assembly and against the Dispersal Order” following Saturday skirmishes on Alameda Street — between Aliso and Temple streets — which led to the demonstration being shutdown.
Also Saturday, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said it arrested two people for an alleged assault on a peace officer. An unidentified source told the Los Angeles Times the arrests were made after three deputies were struck and sustained minor injuries from a thrown Molotov cocktail.
A Presidential Memorandum posted Saturday on the White House website ordered the deployment of the National Guard in light of “numerous incidents of violence and disorder [which] … threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws.”
The order states, in part that “The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service shall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense.
” In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said he has placed U.S. Marines at Camp Pendleton in San Diego on “high alert” to be deployed if needed.
“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California,” the White House noted. “These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.
“That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero-tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.”
It was unclear Sunday morning whether Guard troops or Marines were actually in Los Angeles and, if not, when they would arrive.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, who typically only deploys the California National Guard upon request from local law enforcement, accused Trump of trying to create a “spectacle” rather than acting on a “legitimate need.”
“The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” Newsom posted on social media. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
“L.A. authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”
Further, Newsom accused the Trump Administration of ordering the troop deployment “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don’t give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully,”
Saturday saw immigration raids, and protests in response, at several locations including a Home Depot at 6400 Alondra Blvd. in Paramount where demonstrations escalated throughout the day amid repeated confrontations between protesters and federal agents.
What began as a nonviolent demonstration punctured with chants of “ICE go home” and “No justice, no peace” before federal agents lobbed multiple rounds of flash-bangs and pepper balls in response.
At one point, a Blackhawk helicopter landed on a Paramount street and was unloaded of what appeared to be large amounts of weapons and ammunition. Video from Channel 7 showed the resupply effort near a Department of Homeland Security office at 6321 Alondra Blvd. at5:45 p.m. Saturday. Fox News reported that the office was being used as a staging area for immigration raids.
Other clashes Saturday outside a federal building on Alameda Street, between Aliso and Temple streets, that ended with Los Angeles police officers marching side by side, then creating a line as they clashed with protesters while declaring the gathering and Unlawful Assembly and working to disperse even as several protesters refused to leave.
On Friday, 48 protesters were arrested following a day-long series of immigration enforcement actions in downtown Los Angeles — including the Fashion District — and the impromptu demonstration that followed.
In a statement issued Saturday, Mayor Karen Bass said “This is a difficult time for our city. As we recover from an unprecedented natural disaster, many in our community are feeling fear following recent federal immigration enforcement actions across Los Angeles County. Reports of unrest outside the city, including in Paramount, are deeply concerning.
“We’ve been in direct contact with officials in Washington, D.C., and are working closely with law enforcement to find the best path forward. Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, but let me be clear: Violence and destruction are unacceptable, and those responsible will be held accountable.”
These’s are far less problems that we really have.
THE EGG TELLING THE HUMAN WHAT HIS LAW IS!
HATE GREED INCOMPETENCE STUPIDITY ARROGANTNESS
You have the uniform code & the code of ethnics that everybody violates..
Then I hear West Coast law group of California is paying these contractors to come out and do this stupid shit on a daily basis to me.
GPS should prove every bit of them stalking me for the last 3 years from Ventura boulevard at Cane’s restaurant opening over there. The one that showed me his ideas the one that tried to get me for a concealed weapon when his cocksucker in the pickup truck was in a Land Rover talking about how he had virtual land on the property.
These charges consist of FEDERAL AGGRAVATED HARASSMENT, FEDERAL AGGRAVATED STALKING, FEDERAL AGGRAVATED INTIMIDATION, FEDERAL AGGRAVATED BRUTALITY, FEDERAL AGGRAVATED CORRUPTION, and FEDERAL AGGRAVATED GREED & FEDERAL AGGRAVATED HATATRED, EVENTUALLY AGGRAVATED TAKING A BRIBE ! IN EVERY OFFICER THERE’S AN OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNT FOR EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD.
My perception says this is all due to Aryan brotherhood on the D block at San Mateo County Jail where all the murders and everything happened at. right under Christina Corpus deputy Lovejoy.
It’s like every cock sucking coward in the nation had to come out and cause as much shit as they could because they got to suck the man’s dick when they get there.
That’s the reason they have so many offshore bank accounts with everyone at that San Mateo County jail as well as the prison system as well and across the United States of America. Minimum 5 million to $500 billion and every offshore bank account cross the United States of America at every sheriff and police department fire department how everybody that was a celebrity is now dead and they paid every one of your corrupt trustees to go to work for you because how they were just to trainee.
Then you have this arrogant cop over here. On Sunday he comes over here and starts all this shit and has somebody called in from Santa Cruz to come down for an outreach program with a loaded fucking handgun under his goddamn arm both of them had loaded guns on him but yet they’re standing on fucking public property telling me where the fucking go right but when the sheriff’s department gets here they just let the motherfuckers run away right what an incompetent fucking agency. And this chief of police is HARBORING A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE ( WILLIAM MORRELL ) while working for the Department with him smoking His crack cocaine and drinking his whiskey. No clue about vehicular homicide as a drunk mother fucker driving his car with a loaded FIREARM as attempted murder right why your FEDUALLY AGGRAVATED BANK ARMED ROBBERY. Just to get to me on public land you have to go through a public Bank Shopping Center.
Where at in the law does it state that law enforcement has a right to invade in the public business areas doing business with the public we’re at in the law does it state that you have a right to invade in the public?
Then you have them go into Google and tell them that I can’t complain and can’t have a comment on any part of Google or anywhere on the fucking internet anymore because my public rights have been violated by this piece of shit. But this is the kind of education you give your law enforcement in the community right.
In my intuitiveness leads me to believe that the Bakersfield Police Department send some Yahoo’s down here and had your Yahoo in this fucking Community Chase my dick around the whole time because how I caught the Bakersfield Police Department chief of police buying crack cocaine from someone in the fucking City and put it on a video for the Bakersfield Police Department of you and they’ve never done anything but yet they could send these jackasses down here though.
There’s $75 million in a offshore bank account
There’s 75 million different reasons for him to come out here and do this stupid shit everyday
