After protests broke out in Los Angeles in response to ICE’s large-scale raids, people disappearing on the streets of the United States, and individuals being sent to El Salvador’s notorious prison without due process, Donald J. Trump sent in the National Guard, and now Marines are being deployed to put out the fire the president started.
Interestingly, The Hill ran an opinion piece last year titled, “Kamala’s newest lie: Trump will send the army after you,” and here we are with Donald siccing the miilitary on protestors.
The Associated Press reports:
The Pentagon was scrambling Monday to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with the rare and difficult prospect of using force against citizens on American soil, now that the Trump administration is deploying active duty troops to the immigration raid protests in Los Angeles.
