Trump Is Acting Like an Authoritarian
- President Trump deployed hundreds of Marines and authorized 2,000 National Guard reservists to Los Angeles following unrest over ICE raids in June 2025.
- This deployment followed protests against immigration enforcement sweeps targeting undocumented migrants and a request by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to involve the military.
- Protests persisted on Monday night with over 150 arrests, including children, while California leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and AG Rob Bonta condemned the federal actions as unlawful and excessive.
- Newsom announced another 2,000 National Guard troops were being deployed, and critics warned the federal mobilization—unprecedented since the 1960s—could escalate the constitutional conflict and risk civil liberties.
- The situation highlights a deep political clash over immigration and federal authority that may drive further tensions unless resolved, with some officials fearing it could become a national crisis.
