In a number of major cities across the country, including Los Angeles, President Trump is advocating for even more extensive deportation operations to be carried out.
The President of the United States published a post on social media in which he urged officials from the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement to “do everything in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”
The actions are being taken in response to the large-scale demonstrations that took place in Los Angeles and other major cities against the immigration policies of the Trump administration.
To this day, it is unknown exactly how that will have an effect on Los Angeles. But on Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would halt the majority of its raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels. This decision was made in response to the president’s directives.
According to reports, the Trump administration has maintained its extensive immigration enforcement activities, with the intention of carrying out up to 3,000 deportations every single day.
According to statements made by the Los Angeles Police Department on Sunday, the department has arrested 575 individuals in connection with protest activity since the beginning of this month. Of those, 14 were arrested for looting.
During the week that just passed, President Donald Trump sent out 4,000 members of the California National Guard and 700 Marines to put an end to the disruptive demonstrations that were taking place while immigration raids were still going on.
A hearing in a federal court is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, and the purpose of the hearing is to determine whether President Trump or Governor Gavin Newsom of California will control the National Guard’s future activities. In a ruling that was issued last week, United States District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco stated that the decision made by President Trump to federalize the Guard was not in accordance with the procedure that was mandated by Congress. Newsom challenged this decision.
His decision was temporarily halted by a three-judge appellate panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in response to a notice of appeal filed by the Trump administration. This will ensure that the National Guard troops remain under federal control until at least Tuesday.
