2 weeks ago | breitbart.com | Joel B. Pollak

Caruso posted:There is no emergency, widespread threat, or out of control violence in Los Angeles. And absolutely no danger that justifies deployment of the National Guard, military, or other federal force to the streets of this or any other Southern California City. Local law enforcement is capable of handling the situation and should arrest anyone causing violence in the streets. We must call for calm in the streets, and deployment of the National Guard may prompt just the opposite.
Feds Need to 'Retreat' from Riots for Them to 'De-escalate'

Hahn echoed a familiar refrain from Democrats, who have claimed that the riots are President Donald Trump’s fault because of his efforts to enforce immigration law using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids against criminal illegal aliens, and then to restore law and order by federalizing the California National Guard. At no stage did Hahn assign moral responsibility to the rioters themselves. Trump federalized 2,000 National Guard troops, who deployed in the city on Sunday.

The UN, whose agencies have been implicated in Hamas terror, has also complained about GHF, as it tries to defend its monopoly on aid delivery in Gaza. The threats caused GHF sites to close for a day Saturday before opening again — and expanding — on Sunday.

2 weeks ago | breitbart.com | Joel B. Pollak

Bass, who failed to maintain order on her city’s streets Friday and Saturday as masked rioters opposed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vandalized federal buildings and attacked federal officers, joined the state’s elected Democrats in attacking Trump’s efforts to restore order.

In a statement, Bass said:This morning, President Trump deployed the National Guard into Los Angeles.
