The clashes between the Protestant protesters against the massive expulsions launched by Donald Trump took place on Saturday, June 7 in Paramount, a suburb of Los Angeles in California in Spanish, according to the images broadcast live by AFP. We see South American flags and throw projectiles towards police cars in beacons, in a cloud of smoke.
In this context, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, “signed a presidential memorandum that provides the deployment of 2,000 national guards to remedy the anarchy we leave to prosper,” said White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt, rejecting the failure of the “unable” California leaders.
“If the governor of California, Gavin NewScum and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, cannot do their job, what everyone knows, then the federal government will intervene and solve the problem,” wrote the president of the United States in his social social network, designating Gavin Newsom for a quicibet.
For the second consecutive day in Los Angeles, the clashes opposed the protesters, in the face of the massive evictions of illegal migrants as part of the policy launched by Donald Trump, and federal immigration police officers (ICE). They put deafening grenades and several people were arrested in Paramount.
“We peel the videos to identify the authors. You bring chaos, we bring the wives,” wrote the deputy director of the Federal Police (FBI), Dan Bongino.
A burned police coach
Ice members gathered on Saturday morning near a DIY departments of Home Depot, where workers traditionally come to offer their services for the day. It is not clear if ice agents were preparing to stop undocumented people, or if they simply gathered there for this place for another operation. But protesters began to regroup and the Sheriff’s office said they had deployed agents at the end of the morning while driving the tensions.
The protesters have thrown objects into the police and tried to prevent a coach from leaving the facilities. The agents postponed them with tearful tear gas and grenades. The protesters also attacked a bus of the American sheriff service that left a neighboring road, which led the authorities to close the access straps.
The streets were covered with rubble and caddies, according to the images of the US media who also reported that protesters set fire to a US flag. The incidents of the same type had already occurred on Friday in Los Angeles, where the protesters had thrown eggs to ice vehicles after the agents arrested undocumented migrants.
“A zero tolerance policy”
The images shared on Saturday X by the head of the Border Police, Michael Banks, and transmitted by Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump’s close advisors, showed dozens of agents in the military unit of chaqui color, armed and equipped with gas masks, facing protesters.
“The Trump administration applies a zero tolerance policy regarding criminal behavior and violence, especially when this violence points to police officers trying to do their job,” the White House spokeswoman hit Karoline Leavitt. Stephen Miller, after Friday’s incidents, talked about X “an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.”
Defense Minister Pete Hegesh also threatened to appeal to the regular army with headquarters. If necessary, the “Marines of Camp Pendleton will also mobilize. They are already on alert,” he said on social networks.
An exceptional measurement
Democratic governor Gavin Newsom, full of attacks by the American leader, denounced a “voluntarily incendiary” decision, which “only tensions will worsen.”
The US president had a short time threatened with such a measure, after a second day of incidents. The Federal Government intervenes “not because there is a shortage of police forces, but because they want a show. Do not offer them. Never use violence. Express yourself peacefully,” he told protesters.
“Everyone has the right to demonstrate peacefully, but let’s be clear: violence and destruction are unacceptable, and officials will have to account,” said Los Angeles, Karen Bass.
The last deployment of the National Guard in California for civil disorders dates back to 2020, after the violent disturbances caused by George Floyd’s deathAn African American killed by a police officer in Los Angeles.
Since his return to power in January, the US president and his government have multiplied initiatives to expel so many undocumented migrants in the country, while seeking to extend their prerogatives in this area. The Ministry of Internal Security said that the operations carried out by the ice in Los Angeles this week had led to the arrest of “118 foreigners, including five gang members.”
