This was reported by The Independent, ABC News.
Deployment of Troops to Los Angeles
President of the United States Donald Trump has sent National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles to control the protests that erupted in response to increased raids by the immigration agency ICE. This move has sparked significant criticism among Americans, according to a recent poll.
Poll Results
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 49% of respondents believe that Trump has overstepped his bounds by conducting mass arrests of migrants. Only 35% support his actions. Furthermore, 50% of Americans disapprove of the administration's response to the protests.
Mass Arrests and Protests
ICE has increased its quotas for arrests to 3,000 per day, leading to mass protests not only in Los Angeles but also in other major cities. Protesters are opposing the raids, which they claim are unjust.
Lawsuits
California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, as the president did not obtain his permission to use the National Guard. A judge ruled that Trump violated the law, but an appeals court suspended this decision, allowing the president to maintain control over the troops.
Context of the Protests
Trump has claimed that the situation in Los Angeles is spiraling out of control, but local leaders note that the protesters are mostly orderly. The demonstrations are largely peaceful, although clashes with police have occurred in some instances.
Criticism of the Trump Administration
Many Americans believe that using troops to control protests is unacceptable. However, 48% of respondents support the use of military forces to maintain order during violent incidents.
Conclusions
The situation in Los Angeles remains tense, with protests against immigration raids continuing, which, according to recent news, are planned for the coming days.
