As Professor Jacobson reported, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of the District Court injunction undoing Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard after riots and attacks on federal ICE agents enforcing federal immigration laws.
Apparently, President Donald Trump learned a few things during his first term…especially not relying on Blue State governors to take care of business when clearly organized protestors are planning disruptions as part of an effort to work against the administration’s immigration control efforts.
No,w Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to visit Los Angeles, both as a part of a “victory tour” and a sign of support for both the troops and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement teams that are protecting federal locations.
Vance’s itinerary includes touring a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center and a Federal Mobile Command Center, meeting with federal law enforcement leadership and U.S. Marines, and delivering brief remarks.Vance will “tour a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center, a Federal Mobile Command Center, meet with leadership and Marines, and deliver brief remarks,” according to a readout of the vice president’s travel plans.
No detailed information about the exact timing or venue for Vance’s remarks has been released, reportedly due to safety concerns. However, one has to wonder if Newsom will be on the tarmac to greet him, as he did when Trump toured Los Angeles in the wake of the wildfires.
Or perhaps Newsom will be at another event at a luxury restaurant or fancy winery?
How about the areas that aren’t federal property and so not covered by the National Guard? State and local law enforcement are state law enforcement leaders are sounding the alarm on the dangers facing officers on the front lines of these continuing demonstrations.
“I’ve been around a very long time, and I have seen similar to what we’re facing now,” Jake Johnson, president of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP), told Fox News Digital. “But I’ve never seen the amount of onslaught.”Thousands of protesters descended on Los Angeles in the last two weeks after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers began conducting raids throughout the sanctuary city. The violence included rioters hurling projectiles at law enforcement officers and lighting numerous self-driving electric vehicles on fire.In response to the protests, over 640 highway patrol officers have been sent to Los Angeles. Additionally, nearly 400 additional CHP Special Response Team officers have been deployed to aid law enforcement.”There’s hundreds of state troopers [and] highway patrolmen that are deployed in both the Bay Area and particularly in Los Angeles,” Johnson said. “[They] are working very long hours, anywhere from 16 to 20 hours a day, trying to keep the peace down there. It’s been a very dangerous situation.”
