‘Bring soldiers!’: Trump’s night fuels fuelstormThe President, wakes up at midnight, creates a ruckus on his true social stage, calls protesters “thugs” and demands collective arrest.“La feels really bad in soldiers !!!” Trump wrote at 12.16 pm.“Arrest people in face masks, now!” He added after minutes.Trump “made a legal provision” rarely used, citing the threat or threat of a rebellion or rebellion against the rights of the United States government. Experts say this is the first time since 1965, when Lindon B Johnson sent soldiers to Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement, that a President has activated a state national without the request of his Governor for domestic law enforcement purposes.California’s Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move as a “serious violation of state sovereignty” and accused Trump of “manufacturing chaos and violence”.Fight and flames on the road in the skyDowntown Los Angeles saw hours of Street Street’s battle on Sunday.

As soon as the night fell, the protesters built the Makshift barricades. The Los Angeles Police Department declared the area an illegal assembly, and officials closed the buildings every few seconds as flashbangs.The guard was mainly deployed to protect federal buildings, including the downtown immigration detention center, where several demonstrations have focused.A reporter hit and sees the worldAmong those caught in the crossfire were 9news’ Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi, who was hit by a non -day while reporting live. The footage shows that an officer picked up his weapon and fired in a close range, which cried in Tomasi pain and away from the police line.“You just F — ING shot the reporter,” a sound behind the camera can be heard shouting.Tomasi later confirmed that she was safe but described the atmosphere as “unstable and unexpected”.A Tale of Two CitiesDespite the city of unrest, most of Los Angeles continued their normal rhythm on Sunday. A proud parade march through West Hollywood, the music resonated with the Hollywood bowl, and families gathered to swim in the suburbs.

Symbolism and sovereignty: protest messageMany protesters were first or second generation of immigrants. Waving the Latin American flag, especially the Mexican tricolor, he marched in solidarity with families affected by the new travel ban, which came into effect on Monday. The ban 12 mainly prevents citizens of African and Middle Eastern countries from entering the US.While Trump colleagues put flag-bear protesters as outsiders or agitators, many said that the flags were symbols of pride, not the rebellion.Law enforcement caught in the middleLos Angeles police chief Jim McDonal, while initially hesitant to welcome the National Guard support, admitted on Sunday night that “a revaluation” was needed.“This is out of control,” said McDonal. “We have great police in Southern California … but the level of violence we saw tonight is anything we guessed.”As Suraj rises on pavement and closed blocks on Monday, Los Angeles found themselves at a historic intersection – between federal force and disregard of the state, between protests and policing, between fear and anger. With more performances, the city’s uncomfortable calm cannot last long.
