The Republican leader ordered on Monday evening (9) the sending of two other men of the National Guard, as well as 700 marines, on the streets of Los Angeles.

Since the end of Monday morning – The fourth day of protests – thousands of people returned to the streets of Los Angeles in events that ended only at 22:00 and were mostly peaceful. However, there were registers of violence, with militants who used fireworks and launched objects against security forces. As an answer they received with tear gas, rubber bullets and moral effects. At the end of the night, the police had arrested about 40 people, who refused to put an end to the protests.
The events take place in a specific area of the center of Los Angeles, outside the town hall and a federal prison. In the rest of the city you can get little from protests.
The mobilization began last Friday (6), when the agents were beaten in the commercial establishments to arrest without a document. Protesters mainly require the end of the immigration police (ICE) and the withdrawal of the troops sent by President Donald Trump to repress protests.
Unprecedented decision in 60 years
To date, about 1,700 members of the National Guard arrived in the metropolitan region of Los Angeles, following the decision of President Donald Trump on Saturday (7) to mobilize two thousand members of military personnel to respond to the protests against ice. On Monday, the Pentagon announced that the Republican leader ordered the additional group of two thousand members of the National Guard, in addition to 700 marines, but it is not known when they arrive in the city.
California has always been the goal of the criticisms of Donald Trump because it was considered the most democratic state of the country. In an unprecedented act in 60 years, the president highlighted federal troops without consulting state and municipal administrations.
The governor of California Gavin Newsom accuses the White House of the abuse of authority to suppress the opponents of the federal government, as well as stimulating political violence in the United States. For him, Trump wants to attract attention and turn on the speeches.
Therefore, Newsom asked the demonstrators to remain calm and “do not enter the game” of the Republican leader. The governor also announced on the social network X that he had filed a case against the Trump administration on Monday afternoon, asking the Court to consider the call of the national guard troops “unconstitutional”.
The president has already suggested that the governor of California should be arrested and called him “extremely incompetent”. The rivalry between the two intensified since Newsom was considered a potential candidate for the White House until 2028.
Acts in solidarity with Los Angeles
The activists also gathered in solidarity with Los Angeles in other cities of California, such as San Francisco, the capital of Sacramento and Santa Ana. The protests were also recorded in the States of New York and Texas. There is a request for events for the next few days in Oregon, Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky and Louisiana.
In addition, the leaders of the Union mobilized to request the release of David Huerta, an influential union leader who was arrested for preventing the ICE from entering Los Angeles. The documents took place in the city such as Boston, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Washington DC and in many other states, including Connecticut and New York. Huerta left the arrest on a deposit on Monday afternoon.
