Unfolding forces in Los Angeles. Hundreds of Marine prisons are waiting to be unfolded in key points

Hundreds of soldiers in the troops of the American Navy arrived in the area of ​​Los Angeles on Tuesday at the order of President Donald Trump, who justified them in an attempt to stop the protests in the city, despite the opposition of the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom and other local leaders. The president also mobilized 4,000 members of the National Guard, reports Reuters.

The city has been the scene of days of public revolt since the Trump administration launched a series of raids against immigrants last Friday, although local officials said Monday demonstrations were largely peaceful.

About 700 Marini kids are in a training area, waiting to be held in various locations, an American official said.

According to military officials, Marine prisons do not have the authority to make arrests and will have the role of protecting federal property and staff.

In the metropolitan area of ​​Los Angeles, there are about 2,100 members of the National Guard on Tuesday, and others are to arrive, the official said.

According to a high -ranking official within the Pentagon, the troops could cost about $ 134 million. Bryn Macdonnell, who performs the duties of financial control at the Pentagon, said in front of the legislators that this amount includes transportation, accommodation and food of the military.

“Think about how much assistance for the nutrition of veterans and housing it could offer (TRM administration n. Red.) Instead of using these soldiers as pawns,” Nousom wrote on the X, referring to the costs.

The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, told KABC that over 100 people were arrested on Monday, but most protesters were peaceful.

“To be clear: anyone who vandalized the city center or robbed the shops do not care about our immigrant communities,” Las Bass on X. “You will be held accountable.”

Trump justified his decision to send active troops to Los Angeles by describing the protests as a “violent occupation”, a characterization that Newsom and Bass considered extremely exaggerated.

Speaking on Tuesday, from the Oval Office, the president said the city of Los Angeles would be “in flames” if they had not been these troops and that the National Guard will remain until there was no danger.

Trump also left the possibility of invoking the law of insurrection, centuries-old, which would allow the army to participate directly in the application of civil law. He said it could argue that some parts of the city are already looking at an insurrection.

Governor Newsom accused Trump of deliberately sent troops to inflame the situation for political reasons.

“It is a blatant abuse of power,” wrote the governor on X.

The protests triggered by Friday were generally peaceful and concentrated largely in the center of Los Angeles. However, there were clashes, some protesters throwing stones and other objects to the police, blocking a freeway and trying cars.

Several businesses have been plundered, including an Apple store and a CVS pharmacy. The police responded using projectiles such as pepper balls, deafening grenades and tear gas.

The Los Angeles Police Department said he had arrested at least 50 people over the weekend, for offenses that include attempted murder murotov and aggression of an officer.

American marine kids are trained to act in conflicts around the world – from the Middle East to Africa – and are also used for rapid emergencies, such as threats to US Embassies.

In addition to the preparation of fighting, which includes weapons training, some units are also trained in the crowd control techniques and the management of riots.
