The British Economist newspaper reported that the American President’s order Donald Trump By publishing at least 2000 elements of the National Guard in a city Los AngelesIt was not surprising, and it has a hidden goal.
Trump’s decision came after a wave of protests that broke out against the backdrop of raids carried out by the federal immigration forces, which resulted in the arrest of dozens of migrants.
The British newspaper added in a report published today that although the official decision claims that the goal is to “restore stability”, its context and timing referred to a punitive message addressed to the local authorities in California, which was known for its anti -immigrant deportation policies adopted by the Trump administration.

She confirmed that the National Guard was sent without the approval of a ruler California state Democrat Gavin Newsum, who said on his page X – Formerly- the deployment of the National Guard forces “deliberately exciting and will only lead to an escalation of tensions.”
The demonstrations erupted in areas such as Pyramont and Kumpton, and soon turned into confrontations with the federal security forces, which used tear gas and sound bombs, in a scene that restores previous tensions between federal authorities and local governments.
According to Economist, it is remarkable that the governor of California, explicitly announced that he had not received any assistance request from the Los Angeles authorities, adding that the deployment of the National Guard is taking place “without real need” and “with the aim of fueling tensions.”
Until Saturday evening, the clashes were still under control, and the local authorities did not show any indication of their need for federal assistance, explaining Economist.
The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, also confirmed that the city is able to deal with the situation, warning against being drawn into violence.
For his part, Stephen Miller’s chief deputy employee, Stephen Miller, described the protests as a “violent rebellion”, while Defense Minister Beit Higsath threatened to send forces from the California Marine Corps, “which appears to be enjoying the provocation of California,” according to the description of the British newspaper.
Economist sees a rare escalation that may open the door to a legal and constitutional confrontation, especially since activating the intervention of the army internally is subject to strict laws, on top of which is the “Bossi Commatos Law” that prevents the armed forces in the functions of enforcement of civil law.
In light of this escalation – the newspaper continues – observers believe that sending the National Guard to Los Angeles not only aims to control the protests, but also carries a clear political message that the cities that challenge the Trump administration policies, especially those that adopt “safe haven policies” for immigrants, will pay the price.
