Who's Paying for the Violent L.A. Protests Against ICE? You Are. And It Gets Worse From There

You do realize Trump has every legal right to call up the guard and put them on federal orders. It also has a lot of precedent. Newsome sounds like George Wallace complaining about JFK calling up the guard. It's been done many times in the past.

 

There are specific parameters under which the President can unilaterally deploy the national guard, and none of those qualifiers have been met. There has been no damage or credible threats to federal assets, and neither the LA mayor nor the governor has requested the deployment. None of the requirements of the Insurrection Act have been met. Moreover, this was instigated by the federal government overstepping their authority of immigration detention warrants. LAPD has been deployed and is capable of handling this. There certainly was no need for the Marines to be deployed. As far as it is from meeting the standards to invoke the Insurrection act, they are even further from meeting the standard of the Posse Comitatus Act, hence why only a fraction have been deployed to a federal building away from downtown. I'm mostly surprised that this administration hasn't taken the opportunity to violate yet another constitutional right (3rd Amendment) seeing as they have already violated the first, fourth, fifth, and sixth Amendments.

 

Maybe I'm just old, but I remember when republicans used to at least claim to be the party of the constitution, of smaller government presence, and states rights. I guess that only applies to states that bend the knee. Glad I voted for Gary Johnson and Chase Oliver, at least they adhere to actual conservative principles.

I just watched that Moron Newsome and some Dem Congressman clapping on about Natl Guard soldiers sleeping on the floor.

 

No soldier ever would think sleeping in a climate controlled building, in your sleeping bag with a roof over your head is a bad thing..

 

Also said they have no water or food. I can promise that is B.S. They may be on MRE for a few days and I can promise they have access to water.

 

Peaceful protest.  Lol

Third Amendment of the Constitution, perhaps you should read it.

I didn't see Trump burning any cars, or trying to murder law enforcement personnel.  Maxine Waters said "There is no violence".  Waters, Newsome, and Bass are simply crazed by their TDS and their support for open, lawless borders.  These people are endangering law enforcement personnel, citizens and lawful residents by their inaction.  I just hope enough California voters finally wake up and toss these people out on their ears.

 

The salient point here is that no federal assets have been destroyed. He sent ICE agents, who have gone beyond their authorized jurisdiction, breaking into homes with civil detention warrants, and treating them like criminal search warrants. They are not the same. Why do we even have laws if this administration is going to just walk all over laws and the constitution itself. California isn't going to vote for a republican, and the way things are going the midterms are going to be brutal for republicans. I'll still vote libertarian and waste my Nevada vote, but i'll at least have a clear conscious.

President Trump has an obligation to protect federal resources when incompetent governors won't. 

 

Again, LAPD was deployed, and has handled it far better than the National Guard. Perhaps if ICE actually followed the laws and civil procedure that governs deportations and detentions this wouldn't have arisen. Noem is the incompetent one along with Homan. They are partisan sycophants hoping to get some of that Trump gravy train money being siphoned from the government.

Any proof of that? The only damage so far has been to private property, city, county and state property. Just because ICE is using the downtown civic center as a command center doesn't make it a federal asset, and vandalism is hardly threatening the integrity of a building.

[Crazy Cat 43,995]

No person is more blind than he who refuses to see.  TDS is real. "No violence".  "Just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn".

Maxine Waters

Newsome

Bass

Those inflicted with TDS.

WASHINGTON - Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer funded property. It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) 2 hours to respond.

That is propaganda, not proof. The amount of incorrect information given is staggering. First, there is no federal law enforcement buildings in downtown LA. The only one is FBI headquarters, with is 15 miles west of there, and it's located in a very wealthy neighborhood called Brentwood. No way in hell they'd get within 100 feet of even farting towards that building. The one they are trying to claim is a federal law enforcement building, while is a federally owned building, is actually where USCIS has their offices and conducts AOS and other interviews there. Some of the retreating ICE agents might have ran to it, but vandalism is hardly destroying a building.  

 

As for the vehicles, those were LAPD and California Highway Patrol, not customs and border patrol vehicles that were destroyed. 

 

Again, this wouldn't have happened if ICE and Homeland Security followed the laws and civil procedure for immigration detainment and deportation. They like to claim that their detention subpoenas are tantamount to a criminal arrest and search subpoena, but they aren't. Follow the law, and like this is less likely to happen. Now, don't conflate my distaste for ICE tactics as supporting the riot/looters. This seems to happen in CA quite a bit. Whenever there is a large scale protest, bad actors use the protest as cover to destroy, loot, and cause mayhem. Those a-holes should be jailed. But the people running these ICE sanctioned kidnappings should be held accountable too.

Looks like the LAPD had it under control. As the concrete blocks crashed thru the windshield. 

 

As a former Natl Guard officer and having been on several riot control missions.  You just wrong about so much. I  don't trype a lot so I just will leave it at that.

Apprehensions of criminals and those unlawfully in the US is the appropriate term.
