🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.

Vance is claiming that residents of Los Angeles protesting illegal and unconstitutional actions by ICE are a hostile foreign invasion that must be repelled by military force. Just so we’re clear.

My god. "Service Employees International Union California President David Huerta was injured and detained while documenting an immigration enforcement raid in downtown Los Angeles Friday, labor union officials said — prompting protests and calls for his release." www.latimes.com/california/s...

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

Just thinking about how Stephen Miller is the motivating force behind what's happening in Paramount today, and probably the demand to take over California's national guard, and that he grew up in Southern California and apparently is still angry and carrying grudges because he was so despised here.

Remember. This all started because #ICE was camping out at the #LosAngeles #DHS facility, then kidnapping parents and children—arriving for their families’ scheduled immigration appointments. Regular Angelenos tried to physically stop agents from kidnapping kids; then the gov’t teargassed everyone.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

Here are Trump's troops in the Border Patrol firing tear gas on US citizens in Los Angeles. Why is Border patrol operating in LA? (By U.S. law Border Patrol can only operate within 100 miles of border and LA is out of that range) Why aren't the California AG and DA's charging them with crimes?!

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles after protests over immigration raids. The White House says it’s to restore “law and order” while California leaders are calling it unnecessary and escalatory.

Notice how quickly trump send National Guard troops to L.A. to calm immigration protests but refused to do the same on Jan. 6 when his supporters were storming the Capitol.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.
