The marines will be united with the t troops of Ebastard on the streets of Los Angeles Within two days, officials said on Wednesday, and will be authorized to arrest anyone who is blocking the raids of immigration officers and protesters who are facing federal agents.
THE Donald Trump ordered the development of soldiers despite objections by the California commander, Gavin Newsomby triggering bulky demonstrations Protest spread from Los Angeles to other major cities, including New York, Atlanta and Chicago.
Los Angeles lived on Wednesday on the sixth day of protests that were largely peaceful, but without missing incidents of violence.
Protests began last Friday as a reaction to raids against immigrants.
Trump, in turn, called the National Guard on Saturday and then called the Marines on Monday.
“If I didn’t act quickly, Los Angeles would have been completely burned,” Trump said at an event at the John F. Kennedy.
California’s state and local authorities respond that Trump has escalated intensity with the unnecessary and illegal development of federal troops, while Democrats at national level have condemned his energy as authoritarian.
Trump implements a pre -election promise for expulsion of immigrants, applying dynamic practices in line with political style, which violates the rules and led him to election twice, Reuters notes.
“President Trump promised to carry out the largest mass expulsion campaign in American history and leftist riots will not prevent him from this effort,” said White House spokesman Carolin Levit.
The US military announced on Wednesday that the Order of 700 Marines completed the training on Los Angeles mission, including the multitude and control of the crowd. Will join the National Guard within 48 hours under a federal law (Title 10), not for the exercise of civilian policing, but for the protection of federal officers and federal property.
“Army forces by law can temporarily keep a person under certain circumstances, such as to stop an attack, to prevent damage to others or to prevent intervention in federal staff performing their duties,” the northern administration said.
Interior Security spokesman Trisia Mclaflin said in a statement: “If some riots attack immigration officers, military personnel has the power to keep them temporarily until the authorities arrest them.”
US Army Lieutenant General Scott Sherman told reporters that the Marines would not really bring ammunition to their weapons, but would carry real cartridges.
Newsom and the state of California have sued Trump and the Ministry of Defense, arguing that none of the conditions of federal law justify the development of the army, such as when the US is threatened by a foreign invasion or uprising.
California is calling for a temporary mandate to stop the development of the National Guard and the Marines.
The hearing is scheduled for today, Thursday, at the Federal Court of San Francisco.
The Trump government has argued in a judicial document before the hearing that the President has the discretion to determine whether a “uprising or risk of uprising” requires a military response.
