An lawful assembly was declared after a group of protesters refuse to disperse following a clash with federal agents along Alondra Boulevard. Amber Frias reports for the NBC4 News on June 7, 2025.

After the Department of Homeland Security’s widespread and public crackdown on Los Angeles’ immigration communities this week, federal officials were mobilizing some 2,000 National Guard soldiers to response to protests.

The White House confirmed Saturday that President Donald Trump has signed a directive to deploy 2,000 National Guardsmen to address "the lawlessness."

"The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

1. Media is calling it

unprecedented. Everything surrounding this loser is unprecedented. Now that he knows what an insurrection is, he's also calling out that card too. As if it wasn't bad enough that Musk called him out too. What a fucking disaster.

I am really fearing as to what will be left in 3.5 years.

5. All because his parents didn't love him enought to get therapy for him and the family

Well, that and hurting people is his substitute for sex these days

2. States rights? Ya this isnt going to go well.

8. Look up US Border Protection Zone, and find the map. Be ready to be shocked, this has been so for a long time.

From duck duck go search engine:

The U.S. border zone, particularly the 100-mile border enforcement zone, allows Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to conduct searches and detain individuals without a warrant or probable cause. This zone encompasses a significant portion of the U.S. population and includes major cities, where federal agents have broader authority compared to other law enforcement agencies.

https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone] Check out the map and wake up to the fact that this zone has been in effect for many MANY years.

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people from random and arbitrary stops and searches. Although the federal government claims the power to conduct certain kinds of warrantless stops within 100 miles of the U.S. border, important Fourth Amendment protections still apply. This helps you understand your rights within the 100-mile border zone.​

Here in AZ, we have been dealing with Border Patrol Checkpoints, miles north of the Mexican border, for decades now. I can't get to Tucson for shopping or medical care without going thru one.

Most of the nation has no idea and yet most US citizens live within the zone and can be subject to road blocks/checks.

10. Thanks, but I have known of those for a long time. I lived in Tucson.

And those are different than a President calling up the national guard to states that the governor hasn't called them. CBD has nowhere near the amount nor arms the National Guard has.

[Attilatheblond]

13. I lived in Tucson when they first got installed. I can see Mexico now. But most Americans do not have a clue about them

and most Americans live within the zones where it can be enforced. We down here in the Borderlands need to hop on our ponies and call out "The Fascists are ALREADY here" because people are just plain unaware.

[Attilatheblond]

14. CBP down here has had US Army backup and military assault vehicles for a spell down here in Cochise County.

[Eko]

16. Yeah that is where the declared part of the border to be a military zone.

Still not the same thing.

[Attilatheblond]

20. That 100 mile band isn't militarize (yet), but it is still a massive area where rights can be ignored.

And most don't have a clue.

[FakeNoose]

3. Of course he is ... because he CAN, until somebody stops him

The AG needs to fight this and take Chump to court. Somebody please put a stop to this!
If California doesn't fight it, Chump will play the same card everywhere.

[moniss]

4. Those of us here, and there are many,

remember what Newark, Detroit and Watts looked like. Crumb The 1st and his people have been itching to shoot people for a long time. There is no doubt the danger that comes with that size of a deployment and with undercover Federal agents infiltrating and provoking things to happen.

9. Daughter has been watching online. Tanks with 'flamable' warning signs and crates of weapons

But we know he's not going after areas where the actual gang bangers do their drug trade. He's going after the citizens who dared to vote for Biden. He hates us and wants to hurt or kill a lot of us.

6. How is it possible?

I don't understand how is he able to activate the national guard? I thought that the national guard was to protect the state that they are in from the government taking over? I'm confused I was taught that in high school and some in college that's why I don't understand how is he is able to activate the California national guard to go against its own state and People. I realized that they also do help in times of disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic type stuff. Is it legal to do that?

[Attilatheblond]

11. Kent State?

Look up US Border Protection Zone and be amazed at what has been possible for decades. About 2/3 of the US population lives within that 100 mile zone at national borders AND coastlines, and searches on road ways well within the US have been a thing for decades. And there are plans to expand that band, which goes around the nation, land borders and coastlines, to 200 miles

7. This is a prelude to the administration's response to "No Kings" day next weekend

People will get hurt that day, and that's what Trump and the Republicans want.

[Attilatheblond]

12. Been seeing A LOT of videos of very aggressive/abusive cops all over the nation just spoiling for a reason to bust heads

Rights? They won't acknowledge that we have any. Lots of angry white guys just frothing at the mouth for the green light to start beating people just because.

It's not DEM vs GOP, it's sane verses criminally abusive.

[wiggs]

15. crickets, GOP? nt

[wiggs]

17. CA was always going to be in his crosshairs. Just as Jan 6 Cte, yes impeachment votes, DAs, Zelensky, authors,

journalists, Harvard, Biden, Clinton, etc are. He is a small, scared man.

[angrychair]

18. We cannot trust the military

They are 100% on his side. Fascists love fascism.
I have zero doubt the military will happily do whatever they need to do to make their Mango Mussolini happy.

[Bayard]

19. Who will fire the first shot?

Its only a matter of time. He will deliberately provoke rightfully angry people to declare martial law.

Fasten your seatbelts.

[Warpy]

21. Maybe this is the bloody nose the ICE bullies need to get

although the LAPD and probably the National Guard will collect most of the lumps as ICE is nowhere to be found.

Still, the only language a bully understands is a bloody nose, physical or metaphorical. I hope this modifies their behavior.

22. According to L.A. Police, these protests were peaceful

[Lasher]

23. Locking LBN dupe.
