NBC News· 2025-06-10 02:30
And I will just take you back to last Thursday. Last Thursday, there was nothing happening in this town that called for the raids that took place on Friday. Nothing was happening.Nothing warranted the raids. If you remember at the beginning of this administration, we were told that uh raids would be to look for violent criminals, people who had warrants. But I don't know how you go from a drug dealer to a Home Depot to people's workplaces where they're just trying to make a living.At Home Depot, you have da ...

Political and Legal Analysis - The Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles, without the California governor's consent, marks a significant escalation with little modern precedent, potentially testing the limits of presidential power [1][2][4][5][8] - California is suing the president, arguing he overstepped his authority by invoking war powers to send in troops, claiming there is no actual invasion or rebellion, but rather constitutionally protected protests [8][9] - Legal experts suggest the administration's actions may be unlawful, as they lack a clear legal basis and could be a pretextual misuse of emergency powers, potentially violating the Posse Comitatus Act [25][26][31][54][57] - Critics argue the administration's actions are a "test run" to expand presidential authority and suppress dissent, potentially leading to more aggressive responses to protests in the future [5][32][34][50] - The administration's actions are seen as an attempt to normalize a type of enforcement not seen in the country for a long time, using military tactics and gear against peaceful protesters [83][84] Immigration Enforcement and Community Impact - Federal immigration agents conducted widescale enforcement actions in Los Angeles, targeting day laborers, many of whom are undocumented but not violent offenders [17][18][19] - Community members and leaders expressed alarm and opposition to the presence of immigration officers, viewing it as a raid on hardworking communities [21][22] - The deployment of troops is seen as unnecessary, as local law enforcement is capable of handling the protests and demonstrations [7][79] - There are concerns that the administration's actions are creating chaos and confusion, leading to the arrest of individuals attending immigration hearings [53] Strategic Response and Historical Context - Experts suggest that protesters should strategically avoid confronting the National Guard and Marines, as the administration seeks to create images of chaos and justify further military intervention [88][89][90] - The situation is compared to autocratic moments in history, with the administration potentially using the National Guard as "bait" to provoke a response and expand its power [85][86] - The deployment of troops is contrasted with historical instances where federal intervention was necessary to protect civil rights, arguing that the current actions infringe on those rights [4][28][78]
