Trump plans escalation: 2,000 soldiers in California? Newsom warns!

Los Angeles, USA - President Donald Trump plans a dramatic intervention in California by wanting to deprive the California government control over the national guard. This step provides for 2,000 soldiers to the streets of California, which many worries. Governor Gavin Newsom expresses sharp criticism and emphasizes that there is no need for such an assignment in the district and especially in Los Angeles. He warns that this measure could further heat up the already tense situation and lead to an escalation. Historically, such an intervention by the president would be an unprecedented step, since the states usually decide on the national guard.

massive protests against the US immigration authority ICE have taken place in the Los Angeles area in the past few days. The authority tried to arrest migrants to achieve the deportation goals of the Trump administration. These arrests led to violent riots, according to reports that around 1,000 demonstrators attack ICE officials on Friday. The local police, which did not intervene for two hours, distanced itself from the cooperation with the Federal Authority for Deportation.

reactions and warnings

Trump has spoken on his platform Truth Social and sharply attacked Governor Newsom and the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass. In his post, he described Newsom as "Newscum" and threatened to intervene in the federal government, which further tightened the tensions between the federal and state government. Experts warn that such a decision to take over the national guard in California has rarely occurred in US history. Newsom considers this step as provocative and potentially dangerous.

The protest situation in California also has an impact on the migrant crisis at the US boundaries. In the past few months, many people in Central America and Mexico have resigned their escape routes resigned. Politologist Eunice Alma Rendón observes a stagnation of refugee movements, with some migrants even reversing. The tightened deportation measures and xenophobic rhetoric threaten to tighten the already critical situation of the refugees, and the number of migrants at the US limit is declining.

effects on migrants

• Mexico is increasingly regarded as part of the wall, which forces many migrants to look for alternative routes over countries like Colombia.
• Venezolans are particularly affected: over seven million have fled the dictatorship, many return due to the poor situation in the USA.
• physical violence against migrants is increasing, and more and more people camp without hope for help.

The current situation illustrates that not only politics in the USA is under pressure, but also the global refugee crisis continues to gain explosive. The events in California could have far -reaching consequences for the situation of migrants throughout the American continent. A rethinking is urgently necessary to meet the humanitarian challenges.
