Roomed climate in Los Angeles and surroundings. Protests continue against the administration’s migratory policies Trumpup to San Francisco. The president sent two more thousand members of the National Guard to La and Settecento Marines and the lobster of the tension is increasingly higher. It could not be otherwise, considering that San Francisco and Los Angeles have been called illegal immigration reception sanctuaries, tent cities were built
Of course, Trump has made a forcing that did not happen since Bush Senior’s times, even if the governors had agreed at the time, but it must be said that the Californian governor also Gavin Newsom It doesn’t shine. There is a breakdown of institutional practice, all progressive newspapers enjoy, but electing the governor as the leader of the resistance is certainly exaggerated, considering the embarrassing profile. And there are even those who dream of seeing him opposed to Trump, without knowing that the clash would see him defeated on the whole series and for a list of reasons so long that it is better to devote himself to something else.
As previously highlighted, the events against the raids of the Federal Agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), started on the western coast, have quickly extended to numerous cities in the country, fueling social and institutional tensions. To trigger the fuse, the operations of the Ice in Los Angeles, which led to hundreds of arrests and aroused the reaction of the population. The first clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement officers resulted in a wave of mobilization that involved thousands of people throughout the country occurred in the Californian metropian.

Governor Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of the National Guard on the entire state territory, while the local chief of the police, Lisa Davis, launched a warning: “When the protests become violent, the arrests will start”. In the meantime, activists announce over 1,800 processions for the weekend under the “No Kings” motto, in conjunction with the military parade for the President’s birthday.
