First night of curfew in Los Angeles to isolate vandal and violent in protests for the summary raids of the Trump administration against illegal migrants. On Tuesday the demonstrators returned to the square but only the most phanturous remained from 20 rooms. The police intervened decisively with “mass arrests”: dozens of people who have made over 500 the total of the arrested in the last few days. In all likelihood, the city mayor of the city will extend the curfew, which in any case is limited only to a square mile (2.5 square kilometers) of the city area, the one where the federal buildings are targeted by activists. The goal of the first town Karen Bass is not to prevent protests, largely peaceful, but to “stop vandalism and looting”.
Meanwhile, the disputes of the raids have extended to other American metropolises, from New York to Boston, from Chicago to San Francisco, from Atlanta to various cities of Texas, where the Republican governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the National Guard to maintain the order. «Pacific protests are legal. Damage a person or property is illegal and will lead to arrest “, wrote on X. The tension could rise on Saturday, when coinciding with the military parade in the capital desired by Donald Trump for the 250 years of the army – on the day of his 79/mo birthday – at least 1,500 protests are planned in 1,400 American cities, under the slogan” No Kings “.
It will be the largest anti-trump gathering in a single day from the beginning of its second presidency. The organizers, at least for now, have decided to avoid manifestations in Washington to “do not give the Trump administration the opportunity to foment the conflict and then focus attention on it”. However, processions are scheduled at the gates of the capital, between Virginia and Maryland. The Commander in Chief threatened to use strength against any protests, after defending his decision to send 4,000 men of the national guard and 700 marines in support of the Los Angeles police, against “anarchy”, “foreign enemies”, “animals that invade our country”.
“Paid by someone and equipped in a professional way,” he accuses the US presidency. No back marks even on the 9,000 migrants to be sent to Guantanamo, even if the spokesman for the White House Karoline Leavitt has liquidated the press news on the inclusion of European citizens as “fake news”. The order is to arrest at least 3,000 irregular per day.
In this tense climate, challenging the risk of public whistles and forfait of some performers, Trump – together with Melania, Vance and the Second Lady – decided to have its first crowd bath at the Kennedy Center after getting her hands on this prestigious cultural institution. The irony of fate wants the show to be one of its favorite musicals: “I miserable”, a work that celebrates a popular uprising against a despota, accusation repeatedly addressed to the Tycoon from several parts, especially after the last round of lives in Los Angeles. The governor of California Gavin Newsom also repeated it, calling the president an aspiring dictator and sung against the sending of the army (the court will decide on Thursday).
«American democracy is under attack, authoritarian regimes begin by targeting those who are less able to defend themselves. But they don’t stop there, “he warned, warning that Trump” will not stop in Los Angeles “. For Trump it is a showdown occasion with the leader dem on one of the key themes of his agenda, immigration, even if he thus risks strengthening the role of his opponent and the presidential ambitions of Newsom. For The Donald, according to some observers, it is also a mass distraction strategy: from the bankruptcies in foreign policy, with wars in Ukraine and Gaza still open, to the deadly pickaxe on the welfare contained in the budget law to give another massive tax cut to the rich. In spite of the miserable.
