He does not believe in the constitution. He does not believe in the rule of law.

but every fed court up to the scotus is monitoring his every move

Actually, the President does have the authority to enforce Federal laws, and when normal means are not working such as attacks on ICE members, and thus he can use the NG.

yes, it's just that it's being done w/out Gov Newsom's consent that's got the left's knickers in a knot.....

Hate to sound like a broken record, but the Americans left have zero respect for our immigration laws.

well one is either here legally , or illegally DD , those having no respect merely obfuscate the distinction

Comrade Sanders only approves of ONE kind of authoritarianism.

Trump is only building upon what started before him. I've noted many times that anything you refuse to address from " your guy" will only continue to get worse with the next.

When Obama illegally arrested people during "occupy Wall Street" where were the Democrats?

When Obama targeted American citizens for death, refusing any due process, where were Democrats?

When people were protesting to protect their land and clean water where were the Democrats? Hillary was out on the campaign trail condemning them while Jill Stein was right there with them getting herself arrested.

When Obama got caught unconstitutionally spying on all Americans, where were the Democrats?

I will continue to support people over an authoritarian government today, but sadly far too many will again, support their politics over people.

“Trump, emboldened by his loyal band of goons, has turned one of the most diverse cities in America into ground zero for a political crackdown disguised as policy. Over the weekend, (Trump) ordered 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles County.

The reason? Two days of protest against a brutal wave of immigration raids that swept up thousands across the States in recent weeks. Protesters demanded dignity, compassion, and due process.

They have been met with rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades, and the threat of martial law. Trump was blunt. Any demonstration that hinders his enforcement would now be considered a form of rebellion.

Let that sink in. Peaceful protest, constitutionally protected speech, is now framed as rebellion....it’s the language of a despot. Meanwhile, thousands of immigrants are being deported without due process, violating the very Constitution Trump swore to uphold.
[…]
It is not law and order. It’s tyranny wrapped in the stars and stripes.

Behind Trump is a rogue’s gallery of thugs who helped design this dystopia - Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Pete Hegseth, and Tom Homan. They’ve spent years seeding the idea that cruelty is strength, that immigration is an invasion, that democracy is optional.

Trump’s goal isn’t fixing a broken system. It’s breaking people through fear, chaos, and brute force. He’s criminalising not just undocumented immigrants, but dissent itself.”

True – moreover, Trump’s agenda is anti-immigrant, regardless of immigration status, a racist effort to eliminate as many immigrants of color as possible.

Rioting and burning.cars is not peaceful protest. You have called far more peaceful conduct on 1/6 a insurrection.

The Marines haven’t been sent to LA, it’s the national guard.

‘Bernie Sanders warned of the US’s slide into authoritarianism following Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the national guard to Los Angeles over the city’s protests against federal immigration raids. Speaking to CNN on Sunday, the leftwing Vermont senator said: “We have a president who is moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism … My understanding is that the governor of California, the mayor of the city of Los Angeles did not request the national guard but he thinks he has a right to do anything he wants.”

Sanders, and many others, have long warned for the potential risk to American democracy that Trump represents in his second term. Since returning to the White House Trump has roiled American politics and civic life with numerous actions including attacking universities, slashing government spending and firing tens of thousands of employees and rolling back the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Sanders added: “He is suing the media who criticizes him. He is going after law firms who have clients who were against him. He’s going after universities that teach courses that he doesn’t like. He’s threatening to impeach judges who rule against him. And he’s usurping the powers of the United States congress. This guy wants all of the power. He does not believe in the constitution. He does not believe in the rule of law.”

Pointing to the Republican-led House and Senate, Sanders went on to say that the future of the US “rests with a small number of Republicans in the House and Senate who know better, who do know what the constitution is about”. “It’s high time they stood for our constitution and the rule of law,” Sanders said.’

The US’s slide into authoritarianism began after Trump took office.

What’s happening now is the further consolidation of that authoritarianism.

Sanders is correct, of course – but it’s naïve to believe that Congressional Republicans will do anything to stop the authoritarian Trump regime.

What is so peaceful about the LA protests? If you or Sanders can show how peaceful these protests are, then you will have a point.

The reality is that we are back to 2020 where the Left’s paid for brown shirts will be stirring up violence in order to get their political outcome.

Un -American novice Troll Bot , Celia , firmly against Law and Order .

California’s Governor and LA’s mayor have not requested the national Guard. Here are scenes from Los Angeles and the peaceful protests against ICE enforcement:

The violence and destruction are getting old. All of the alphabet central government law enforcement, investigation departments and only ICE is the evil one to Progressives. When Progs are in power, it is open season on legal citizens.

The property destruction and forced closing of highways must stop. How corporate entities stay in that area is beyond me. Even if they hire some illegals, it is just too expensive and radical for long term civility.
