National Guard rehearsed show of force against immigration raid protesters, general testifies
General Scott Sherman testified that National Guard troops rehearsed a 20-minute show of force in Los Angeles to support immigration raids and protect federal agents amid protests.
- Gen. Scott Sherman testified Tuesday that National Guard troops rehearsed a show of force operation at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles this summer.
- The operation was originally scheduled for June 15, coinciding with Father's Day, but was postponed to July 7 after Sherman expressed concerns that the park might be too crowded for Border Patrol to manage effectively.
- The National Guard members, positioned to secure the area and directed to leave their vehicles only if federal agents faced a direct threat, carried out a carefully rehearsed 20-minute operation during which everyone stayed inside their vehicles as a display of force.
- Officials such as Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass criticized the deployment as a political gimmick aimed at intimidating immigrant communities, while California contends that the use of military forces in this manner exceeded legal limits on military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
- The ongoing trial examines if the Trump administration’s use of military forces for civilian law enforcement purposes during immigration-related protests violated legal restrictions, with most National Guard troops having since been withdrawn from Los Angeles.
