The situation in Los Angeles, where brutal riots have taken place for days, continues to come to a head: the US Department of Defense sends around 700 marine fans to the city judge 2000 National Gardens is sent to the American west coast. The Governor of California criticizes Trump’s procedure: this is “mentally disturbed”.
According to the responsible command, the Navy fans are intended to support the already mobilized forces of the National Guard to protect federal employees and ownership. The step therefore wants to be present with a “sufficient number of forces”. According to military information, the soldiers are trained in the escalation, control over crowds of people and the rules for the application of violence.
Trained for the war
The use of the regular army within is another serious escalation around the protests against the procedure of the American immigration authority ICE in the Los Angeles area. Soldiers are trained for military missions and the war, not for police tasks such as control over protests in centers in the American City.
California’s governor criticizes Trump’s approach sharply
The Governor of California Gavin Newsom criticized the decision to send American troops to LA as “mentally disturbed”. “In various wars, the American Marines were honest to defend democracy,” said the Democrat in online service X. “They should not be used on American soil, where they are confronted with their own countrymen to fulfill the mentally disturbed imagination of a dictatorial president.” This is “un -merican”.
News also criticized the mobilization of other soldiers from the National Guard. “This is not about public safety. It is about the ego of a dangerous president,” he complained about X. Newsom as reckless and meaningless “and disrespectful to our troops”. The first 2000 national gardens would have received neither food nor water. “Only about 300 are in use – the rest is unused in federal buildings without having commands.”
Unusual demonstration of power of the Trump government
During the weekend, Trump had already mobilized at least 2,000 soldiers of the National Guard – against the will of Newsoma. The National Guard is a military reserve unit and part of the US forces. Their dedication to the Governor’s resistance is a very unusual demonstration of power for the government.
Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta brought a lawsuit against Trump, the Ministry of Defense and Minister Pete Hegseeth on Monday. They accuse the federal government of taking control of the National Guard of California for illegal and without the permission of the State. Newsom explicitly objected to the operation and asked Hegseeth in a letter to withdraw the troops – this application was ignored, Bonta said. Those responsible in California accuse the abuse of power of the president.
