Los Angeles, USA - in Los Angeles has been in the event of a nightly lock since Tuesday, which was extended until at least Thursday morning 6 a.m. (local time). Mayor Karen Bass emphasized that the outcome lock was imposed in the city due to the continuing protests. These protests, which are directed against President Donald Trump's migration policy, remained largely peaceful, but chaotic scenes have occurred on the streets in the past few days, with cars burning and masked demonstrators fighting with the police. A conversation with Trump was asked by bass to illustrate the importance of the situation. This is reported by the Tagesspiegel .

protests broke out not only in Los Angeles, but also in other cities such as New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago. In these cities, dozens of demonstrators were arrested, including many migrants, which were captured by the US immigration authority "ICE" in Los Angeles. In this context, Trump ordered a mobilization of 4,000 national guards and 700 marine fans. This decision is considered controversial because governor Gavin Newsom has described these measures as illegal and initiated legal steps. According to report the rnd have already been mobilized, even if they were mobile so far not visible in the city center of Los Angeles.

Development of protests

The protests were triggered by Trump's controversial migration policy, which provides for hard measures against migrants. Experts fear that the unkest will last because politics is still controversial. Protesters state that they are fighting migrants against the arrests and the impending deportations.
Around 200 demonstrators have been arrested since the outcome lock came into force. These figures show the tension of the situation, which is characterized by the violent meeting of demonstrators and police.

Trump, whose spokeswoman emphasized that the president supported the demonstration rights, described the protesters in Los Angeles as "animals" and threatened to act hard. This has led to further criticism of his approach and accused him of further heating the tensions in the situation.

military commitment and political reactions

The mobilization of the National Guard was a decision that caused turmoil in the political landscape. Critics, including democratic governors, see this as an alarming abuse of power and a violation of the standards that regulate military missions in these contexts. They point out that the intervention of national security into the usual civil matters is usually only legitimate in extreme emergency situations. Nevertheless, the US government has argued that the operation serves to prevent an even worse situation.
