Liberals: I told you so-

[80zephyr]

Maybe no judge told them that enforcing the law is illegal.

Why not?

 

[Bleipriester]

Why not?

That is a Trump issue I guess.

Liberals teach us that abiding by the law is optional and for idiots.

Trump is ignoring state sovereignty and sending thugs to intimidate protestors

What about the violent thugs waving Mexico flags?

Can anyone spell "Insurrection"?

Does anyone know just what the "Insurrection Act" is and what it empowers?

It empowers a proclamation.

Spoiler: Research:

The Insurrection Act is a U.S. federal law, originally enacted in 1807 and built from earlier statutes dating back to 1792, that empowers the president to deploy the U.S. military and federalize the National Guard within the United States under specific circumstances. It serves as a key exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. Here’s what it empowers the president to do:

• Section 251: Deploy troops if a state’s legislature or governor (if the legislature can’t convene) requests federal aid to suppress an insurrection against that state.
• Section 252: Use military forces without state consent if the president deems that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or rebellion against federal authority make it impracticable to enforce U.S. laws through normal judicial means.
• Section 253: Act unilaterally to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, or conspiracies that hinder a state’s ability to protect constitutional rights or obstruct federal law enforcement, if the state is unable or unwilling to act.

The president must first issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse, giving them a set time to comply, before deploying forces. Historically, it’s been invoked about 30 times, including to enforce desegregation (e.g., Eisenhower in 1957), suppress riots (e.g., Bush in 1992), and address rebellion (e.g., Lincoln during the Civil War). Recent discussions, like Trump’s 2025 executive order exploring its use at the southern border, highlight its potential,

Are you suggesting it is illegal to carry a Mexican Flag?

 

[Bleipriester]

Are you suggesting it is illegal to carry a Mexican Flag?

Going violent is.

 

[OldFlame]

Are you suggesting it is illegal to carry a Mexican Flag?

So you'd be okay with an American going down to Cancun and planting a big Old Glory in the sand next to their beach umbrella? You know, because they're so proud to be an American?

Trumps power play has nothing to do with Sanctuary Cities

His ICE thuggery led to protests so he sends National Guard to intimidate them

Abuse of power

As always, the disreputable LeftWhiner has his story line ass backward.

 

[Bleipriester]

Doesn´t look like they love the country.

Throwing rocks and burning cars isn't a protest. Newsome is shirking his responsibility, so someone has to step up.

California and LA can handle it

Trump only provokes the crowd and makes it worse

On the flip side shutting down 101 is indeed a riot. Its surprising no one stuck there didn't start shooting.

If they can handle it they should have. They didn't.

The Mayor of LA and the Governor of California have no interest in stopping these new fake “protests.”

[JusticeHammer]

No, he's referring to felon47, one of the biggest criminal thugs in history. If anyone should be locked up it's Trump.

Go Trump. Obuthole sucked.

 

[d0gbreath]

And please link us to all of the insurrections and rioting when the other admins did it at even higher levels?

That didn't happen because ICE was stealthy back then, not bands of masked gorillas.

Thoughts From an Independent:

Dear Liberals - Legal scholars have warned you for years that this sanctuary cities nonsense was a bad idea, and that if you didn't take the proper steps to go through the legislative process to change the law to conform to your actions it would come back to haunt you.

President Trump's actions in Los Angeles may seem heavy handed, but the bottom line is he is within the letter of the law. I'm not sure how this will go over politically, but don't say you were not warned.

It's really hurt Gavin Newsom.

The only reason Trump is in LA is because leftists were interfering with ICE's job of clearing illegals out of the country.

 

[Independent thinker]

It will be interesting to see. Will he attempt to declare martial law over LA? Over all of California? And for how long if so?

If they interfere with ICE doing it's job then we have to go as far as it takes for them to be able to do their job. That's up to California how far it goes.
