Hundreds of California National Guard soldiers are located in the center of Los Angeles in the escalation of mobile action to implement the Trump administration in South California.

Their unfolding comes to the objections of leaders in California, including governor Gavin Newo, who say local law enforcement authorities are more than capable of keeping peace in the city.

“The Federal Government takes over the California National Guard and has 2000 soldiers in Los Angeles – not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a performance,” Newsom wrote on social media on Saturday night.

This morning, the soldiers of the National Guard of the National Guard patrolled a federal building in the city center. They also brought heavy military vehicles. Protest is expected to be held later today, but so far the scene around the building has been calm.

The unfolding followed two days of unrest after immigration sweeps the city center and in the city of Paramount. In an incident, officers arrested David Huerta, a leader of a The California Union of the Public Sectorwho protested against an attack. He remains in custody.

Trump’s order, deploying troops, quoted “incidents of violence and disorder” after immigration action, and the border patrol on social media is drawing attention to an incident in which someone casts rocks at Paramount, breaking a window.

After raids, American immigration and customs application publishes a list From what they called the “oldest of the oldest” offenders caught in immigration attacks. The newspaper also accused “California politicians and riots” of “Protection of Dusty illegal Alien Criminals.”

Escalation can be a turning point for a country where democratic politicians have started the year quite quiet in Trump’s immigration repression, at least compared to its first time of service. With the state facing a multiangrad budget deficit, legislators and nuances were ants for the loss of federal funding, and Newsom is especially dependent on a relatively harmonious relations with the federal government to provide assistance for assistance for Restore wild fire in Los AngelesS

But since then, the California Democrats have achieved a more challenging tone.

Last week they advanced numerous accounts to Discourage Grates Ice Visits to hospitals, schools and shelters. Over the weekend, they condemned the attacks and attacked the protesters, especially after federal agents arrested the famous Union President Huerta on Friday during a clash with protesters outside the immigration raid of the clothing warehouse.

Assembly chairman Robert Rivas, Democrat from Salinas, called the attacks “Authoritarian attack on our immigrant communities.”

“We will not allow (Los Angeles) to become a position for political terror,” he wrote in a statement.

His colleague in the State Senate, Hildsburg -Democrat Mike McGuire, said the deployment of the National Guard “is” Riex of Fascism “.

Bill Esayli, an American lawyer for Central County of California – which includes Los Angeles – told KNBC-TV that immigration agents were coercive while conducting attacks on Paramount and Compton.

“You have thousands of people who form and gather in crowds, riots, attack our agents, throw rocks, throw eggs, throw Molotov cocktails,” Esayli told News Station.

Marisa Nunzio, director of Los Angeles -based clothing center, said clothing workers were being filled after immigration agents detained 20 of them in an attack in the Ambience clothing in the city’s fashion neighborhood on Friday. The accumulation of troops in the city center made members worry about a second raid.

The workers’ clothing center held a seminar on the rights of rights on Saturday, one day after the attack.

The participants “wanted to know how we could stop this,” Nunzio said. “How can we resist these attacks against our community? They wanted to know if it was safe to go to work, go to church, go to the clinic.”

Clothing workers are particularly vulnerable Because they are often hired in illegal production facilities that pop up and then disappear overnight. They are paid from the piece, usually from 5 cents to 12 cents per piece of clothing, a controversial practice that is drawn control by the legislatureS

Their weekly pay for the home is about $ 300, or $ 5.50 per hour paid in cash.

“We feel that the best thing we can do is inform workers about what is happening,” Nunzio said, “and reminds them that they have power in their rights.”
