“What we see in the center is simply terrible, but most people who took part in the protest in the afternoon were peaceful” – said Bass. She added that more aggressive protests and vandalism occurred late at night.

According to her, “extreme groups” are responsible for aggressive protests, not people going out into the streets as a sign of solidarity with immigrants. She informed that over 100 people were arrested at night, most of them for an illegal assembly.

Monday was the fourth day of protests that broke out after the federal agents of the group of immigrants at the Los Angeles workplace. On Tuesday, “Washington Post” wrote that some immigrants detained during the raid were already deported.

On Monday, there were clashes between the demonstrators and the security forces that used rubber balls and bumps grenades. The police were thrown, among others fireworks. In the evening, the police called the gathered to spread, and then began to move towards the protesters and detained – reports CNN.

Protests against collapse of immigrants were also held in other American cities, including in San Francisco, New York and Atlanta.

On Monday, Pentagon announced a mobilization of an additional 2,000 California National Guard soldiers who are to support the office for immigrants and customs enforcement (ICE). US President Donald Trump on Saturday decided to direct the first group of 2 thousand. Guardsmen to Los Angeles in response to protests. On Monday, however, the US Northern Command announced that about 700 maritime infantry soldiers would also be in Los Angeles to protect federal property and staff.

The decision to send the armed forces to the city is criticized by the authorities of La and California's state, emphasizing that such a step only exacerbates the situation. California, according to which the referral to the city of the Guard was illegal, gave Trump's administration to court.

Economist: anti -immigrant repression and resistance suppression can be a model of Trump's future activities

Anti -immigrant roundabout in a city whose authorities are against government policy, calling the army and suppressing protests – so, according to the British weekly, Economist, the model of US President's President Donald Trump may look like the anti -immigrant policy of the US President, thanks to which he will be able to mobilize his supporters.

“So far, the protests in Los Angeles are small compared to previous riots in this city. During the riots related to the Rodney King case in 1992, over 12,000 people were arrested in 1992. In the last two days this number was only about 60. The situation may, however, deteriorate. While the inhabitants of Los Angeles pray for peace and withdrawal from the streets, America is in a dangerous time.” Monday's analysis of events in Los Angeles “Economist”.

According to “Economist,” the danger before which the United States faces is due to the tension between the democratic mandate and the constitutional restrictions on the executive. Donald Trump was chosen by his supporters with a clear expectation that he would strongly deal with the problem of illegal immigration. However, as the weekly notes, part of his electorate interprets this mandate in a radical manner – as consent to activities not only controversial, but even contrary to the constitution.

At the same time, according to “Economist”, Trump does not hide that he is ready to use armed forces to suppress protests against his anti -immigration policy. According to the weekly, the current development of accidents in Los Angeles and the confrontational attitude of Trump's administration may be a model for future activities of the US President.

“The template looks as follows: announce immigration repression in a city that the authorities oppose it, wait for protests, and then call the army to suppress them. Forcibly intervention in this model plays the role of a warning for other cities that can try to resist” – said “Economist”, at the same time indicating that such actions are also signals for the “Maga Magic” fulfills his election promises.

“From the riots in the 1960s, which helped to choose Richard Nixon, to anxieties related to the Black Lives Matter movement (…) A series of violence and repression often brings the benefits of the right, even if the anxieties are fueled by the government itself,” noted the weekly, adding that the mobilization of the army and sending it to Los Angeles was not intended to “restore order”, but to cause confrontation, but would strengthen the position of the president.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump ordered the sending of 2,000 Soldiers of the National Guard to Los Angeles in response to protests that broke out the day before after 44 immigrants stopped by federal agents. The Pentagon announced on Monday the mobilization of an additional 2,000 California National Guard soldiers. On the same day, the US Northern Command announced that about 700 maritime infantry soldiers would protect federal property and staff in Los Angeles. On Tuesday, protests and clashes with order forces continued in the city. (PAP)
