US President Donald Trump said Thursday that Los Angeles had been “safe and stable” for the past two nights, saying that the deployment of thousands of soldiers was resolved to end anti -degree protests, as California prepared for a legal display on its extraordinary move.
With the spread of protests in the United States, the curfew of the night is in its second largest city, authorities dealt with vandalism and looted, which has targeted some cities blocks.
Trump said on the truth, “Our Great National Guard placed the LA police in a position to effectively work with the Marines,” Trump said on the society of truth, adding that without the army, the city would be a crime scene as we did not see in the years. “
Last week, most peaceful protests arose last week, but it also contained violence pockets, including burning of self -powered taxis and launching stones in police.
On the objections of Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, Trump deployed several thousand National Guards Troops and 700 Activate Duty Marines.
Trump claimed that the governor had “completely lost control of the situation”.
Trump added, “He should thank you for saving his ass, instead of justifying his mistakes and incompetence.”
Officials said that in the northwestern state of Washington, the curfew was announced another night when police arrested more than 30 protesters and fired black pepper balls to disperse the crowd.
In Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington, police arrested eight people when a dumpter was set on fire and the project was thrown. According to the Republic of Arizona, after clashes with police, three people were arrested in Takkin, Arizona.
According to CNN, protests were also held in Las Vegas, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Malwaki, Chicago, Atlanta and Boston.
‘Democracy is an attack’
Trump has partially won the elections in the elections last year that he claims to deal with the promises of dealing with him that he is an “attack” by non -documentary immigrants.
He told reporters on Wednesday, “If I had not been there … Los Angeles would have been burning on the ground.”
One of the 4,700 soldiers deployed by Trump was protecting a thousand facilities and working with ice agents, Scott Sherman, the Deputy Commanding General, the Army North, who is leading the work.
He added that the remaining-700 active duty was gathering or training to deal with urban obstacles, including active marines.
The Pentagon has said that the deployment will cost taxpayers $ 134 million.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who looks at a democratically viewed 2028 presidential run, has accused Trump of promoting a confrontation for political benefits.
He warned earlier this week that militants went beyond the borders of their state, saying: “Democracy is an attack in front of our eyes.”
On Thursday, California lawyers were expected to order orders to stop soldiers with immigration officers during the arrests of immigrants.
The Trump administration’s lawyers have termed the request a “cross -political stunt”.
The military parade
It is expected that a nationwide “no Kings” movement is expected to collect its pace on Saturday, when Trump will attend the most extraordinary military parade in the US capital.
Parade – Feature of warplanes and tanks – has been held on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the founder of the US Army, but also according to Trump’s 79th birthday.
The Trump administration has presented the protest as a violent threat to the nation, which requires military assistance for immigration agents and local police.
But Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the crisis was created in Washington.
“A week ago, everything in Los Angeles was peaceful,” he told reporters. “Matters began to become difficult on Friday when raids … That’s the cause of the problems. This White House was encouraged.”
The arrest of masked and armed men continued on Wednesday.
A pastor in the adjoining area of Donon said five armed men arrested a Spanish speaking man in a church car park outside the state.
When he challenged them and asked for badge numbers and names, they refused.
