Guard. Old Joe wasn’t prez. Lie 1. The governors did. And your dear leader actually praised Walz over it. Lie 2. Go back to sleep.

Trump's main campaign promise was to do exactly this - and it was an overwhelmingly popular campaign plank. He is simply enforcing the law after four years of it being ignored. ICE is arresting illegal immigrants accused of crimes to stand trial.
The Left lost the election, but oppose the will of the US electorate.
President Trump will not allow the loss of our Democracy to chaos and violence. He will protect the law abiding citizens from anarchy.
Dude knows how to crack heads when motivated properly.

“This is a provocation, not just an escalation,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in an interview with The Times. “This is intended to sow more fear, more anger, and to further divide.”
The Pentagon did not make clear why it would need more National Guard troops in the city. The state has also sued to block the use of the National Guard. And Democrats expressed alarm about the arrival of Marines. As our colleagues explain in this article, American military troops are supposed to be used inside the U.S. only in the rarest and most extreme situations.
Strangely, even as his administration deployed the armed forces, Trump said the situation in Los Angeles had already calmed down. “It’s still simmering a little bit,” he told reporters at the White House yesterday afternoon. “But not very much.”
The police and small groups of protesters clashed in the Little Tokyo neighborhood yesterday, where the L.A.P.D. made arrests, and used tear gas to disperse crowds. But there generally seemed to be fewer clashes between protesters and police officers. So far, the National Guard appears to have largely stayed out of those confrontations.
ICE’s escalation

Why are the protests against Trump’s immigration raids happening now? Hamed Aleaziz, who covers immigration, explains:
The eruption in Los Angeles began when immigration agents showed up to arrest people at their jobs. They hadn’t told the city they were coming, and protesters tried to stop them.
This probably won’t be the last such conflict. The Trump administration is escalating its immigration crackdown, and worksite raids are the next major step. Future arrests are likely to be disruptive.
Finding more migrants: For most of this year, officials from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement have snagged the easiest-to-find migrants: People with criminal records, court petitions, asylum requests. Agents often knew where these people would be.
The result: The government was deporting about 700 per day, not much more than the Biden administration.
Last month, Stephen Miller, Trump’s immigration czar, delivered a message: ICE needed to hit a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests a day — about 10 times the figure under Biden.
Creative answers: To get there, the agency is seeking new tactics. The government has dismissed criminal cases against migrants and then arrested them as they left court. It is showing up at workplaces. And it has asked the National Guard and the Marines to help with enforcement.
Can Trump do that?
The White House says it deployed federal troops to Los Angeles because the local police need help to counter “insurrectionists.” But the Posse Comitatus Act says the armed forces aren’t law enforcement. We asked Rachel VanLandingham, a professor at Southwestern Law School and a former Air Force lieutenant colonel, what’s allowed.
Is this all legal?
The founders wanted to prevent the president from using federal troops against “we the people” because of the way the Red Coats used warrants to do whatever they wanted in people’s homes. But National Guard troops are local citizens; they live in their communities. So they’re allowed to help with police work — until they’re federalized. Which is what Trump did last weekend. Then they became indistinguishable from active-duty military. All they can do is defend federal workers like ICE agents, and federal buildings like an ICE detention center.
So the California National Guard and the Marines can’t contain the protests?
Not unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act! That law lets troops police our streets to suppress insurrections and help execute federal law in the face of rebellion.
Trump said yesterday that the protesters were “insurrectionists.” What counts as a rebellion?
It’s very vague — the law doesn’t say. It could be people trying to stop ICE agents from doing their job. I don’t think courts are going to want to argue about what constitutes a rebellion. The founders gave the president discretion here, so if Trump does invoke the Insurrection Act he’s on firm legal footing.

How many homes have been replaced since the fires that he caused. Is Bass even in town or out on another vaca adventure? Only Auntie Maxine is doing the tough grunt work out in the field challenging her own national guard to a no holds barred fight. . Celebs are cool with this rioting business as long as the arson, violence, and vandalism doesn't reach their neighborhoods. Then the cries for A10 air support to protect their homes will be heard loud and clear. As we speak, Neil Young and Springsteen are writing protests songs in support of the illegal rioters.....as long as the rioting doesn't reach their neighborhoods. Anyway, there you have it. better coverage of the last few days than you'll ever get from the MSM.

And throwing bottles and rocks at cops?
BaronVonZemo's Rules of Liberalism:
Liberalism Rule #1 - accuse others of that which you are/do.
Liberalism Rule #2 - the rules apply to thee and not me
Liberalism Rule #3 - We know what is best, thus the ends justify the means.
Liberalism Rule #4 - We believe ourselves to be smarter thus, we cannot admit that we are wrong.
i) Admitting mistakes undermines the premise of being smarter, ergo self correction is not possible.
Liberalism Rule #5 - What didn’t work last time, will work next time (see 4 i.)
Liberalism Rule #6 - When we lose, change the rules.
i) Whenever convenient, change the definition to suit our goal.
Liberalism Rule #7 - Appeasement (using other people's money - usually taxpayers) is the best deterrent to conflict.
Liberalism Rule #8 - Totally Differentism - when we do something that we don’t like others doing, it is always “totally different”.
Liberalism Rule #9 - Equity through inequity (any difference must be equalized by pulling down the
unaffected party. Vengeance is preferable).
Liberalism Rule #10 - We support our representative speaking regardless of the truth (in contrast to
conservatives who support the truth regardless of the representative speaking it).
Liberalism Rule #11 - We vote on personality over policy.
Liberalism Rule #12 - Genetics are selective. We believe that sexuality and guilt are genetic, but gender is not. Scientific proof is not required.
Liberalism Rule #13 - Do SOMETHING! When a crisis happens, do SOMETHING! It doesn't have to have to work, but it must: a) make us feel better which is more important than actually solving the crisis, and b) advance the liberal agenda.
Liberalism Rule #14 - "You’ll have to show us a lot more than rock solid, irrefutable evidence”.
Liberalism Rule #15 - There are no universal truths. The truth changes to fit our needs.
Liberalism Rule #16 - The Expert Threshold. If a false narrative has enough “experts” backing it, it becomes truth regardless of evidence to the contrary. “Experts” are defined as those who support the narrative, and they can be conjured if necessary (because of Liberalism Rule #3).
Liberalism Rule #17 - Charity ends at home. It is accomplished through the government with other people’s money.
Liberalism Rule #18 - When failure or bad behavior is completely undeniable, distance yourself from complicity to salve your guilty conscience.
Liberalism Rule #19 - Guns don’t kill people, liberals with guns kill people. Violence comes from the Left.
Liberalism Rule #20 - Only guilty life is precious. Innocence makes us uncomfortable and thus must be eliminated.
Liberalism Rule #21 - "I'm a moderate". We are not liberal, we are "moderates" politically - despite supporting every liberal tenant. This is because we consider ourselves to be the fairest and also because we care too deeply about what others think of us to just admit what we really are (See Rule #22).
Liberalism Rule #22 - “We care too deeply about what others think of us.”
(This is why we feel the constant need to virtue signal and try to buy foreign approval with handouts).
He wants chaos. We can’t give it to him.

And I used the term "you" because you used the term "we" when referring to the rioters and the violent Left.
How stupid can you be to claim Trump is baiting! He made the enforcement of immigration law his main campaign promise. Now, he carries it out as the American people indicated in the election quite clearly was their desire....and you react with violence. Also, ISE was merely picking up illegal immigrants who were charged with violent crimes to stand trial. And THIS was your reaction!
This is nothing more than a delayed response of violence by the Left to the election. You refuse to accept the will of the people.
Or are you part of the coordinated riots?
No one has advocated that perpetrators of violence or misconduct ought not be charged and prosecuted.
Is iit OK in your America for a President to send the Marines or federal agents in combat gear to descend upon your community, and round up folks who have not been vaccinated or who are not compliant with hurricane evacuation orders?
Is it OK in your America for a President to send in the Marines to guard against civil unrest during a city’s Super Bowl or World Series celebrations?

…to think that, although this is how every dictator has acted, that Trump is different. That he has the national interest- rather than his personal power - in mind.
