Trump sends troops into Los Angeles amidst migrant crackdown, protesters clash with police
President Trump has used unrest in Los Angeles protests to justify deploying US military forces in support of migrant crackdowns, a move critics call an overreach. The White House had been waiting for this moment to assert its authority on immigration policy amid growing public tensions.
President Donald Trump has seized on Los Angeles protests over federal immigration raids, deploying military personnel amid growing tensions in what appears to be a contentious and potentially divisive move aimed at cracking down on migrant activity. The unrest, sparked by immigration enforcement actions, has given the White House an opportunity to test its response to nationwide protests. Trump's decision to invoke the National Guard raises concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and the limits of executive power. The move has been met with criticism from civil rights groups and lawmakers.
