National Guard soldiers are now protecting immigration and customs coercive officers in Los Angeles and its surroundings, which means expanding their duties since this week was deployed by President Donald Trump.
TRICIA MCLAUGHLIN, assistant to the Minister of Inner Security, said on Tuesday that the guard provides the safety of federal enforcement of law because they continue to “remove the worst of Los Angeles”. Some of the soldiers had been guarding federal buildings before.
McLauglf added that “if some rebels attack police officers on ice rights, the military staff has the power to be temporarily retained until the coercive authorities are.”
“Violence against law enforcement must end,” she said, adding that the soldiers also help protect federal property.
ICE published two photos on X, which show soldiers providing protection because the officers have been arrested related to immigration. Soldiers in camouflage and holding automatic weapons stand nearby, while two suspects are handcuffs.
The mayor in Los Angeles Karen Bass earlier on the day she “had no idea”, she did in addition to guarding several federal buildings.
Los Angeles faced five days of protests affected by the wave of immigration raids, while the crowds sometimes encountered law enforcement and nearly 380 people arrested since the weekend.
Trump allowed the deployment of up to 4,000 National Guard troops to the city and 700 Marines – the step has taken the objections to California Governor Gavin Newsom and the bass, both Democrats.
The mayor and the governor say that the show of force is unnecessary and risks igniting the voltage. Bass said that local authorities have a control of the situation and that more soldiers could escalate unrest rather than contain them.
