One of the most contention global stories at the moment relates directly to the current crisis unfolding across California … which was formerly known as the “Golden State.”
Alas, the state has since become known as a “sanctuary state,” in large part due to its gargantuan illegal migrant population.
Which has grown exponentially over veritable decades.
Little wonder that the Trump administration has put California firmly in its crosshairs, especially following mass protests against multiple ICE raids that unfolded across Los Angeles and San Francisco.
However, the situation in Los Angeles is especially inflammatory, given the seemingly overnight militarization of law enforcement.
Specifically, the Trump administration commenced a rather stunning federalization of the National Guard andthe deployment of the Marines … which is certainly a more unusual move distinct from any other presidential actions in recent history.
And California Governor Gavin Newsom is absolutely furious.
Especially as he undoubtedly perceives the current deployment of military across Los Angeles as further evidence of “the fight the White House wants,” as declared by The Hill.
The Hill also quoted Newsom, who is presently raging about the “immoral” and “unconstitutional” actions undertaken by Trump.
“Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He’s exacerbated the conditions. He’s, you know, lit the proverbial match. He’s putting fuel on this fire, ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard – an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act,” Newsom raged.
Unsurprisingly, other world leaders are apparently in agreement with Newsom.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is vehemently opposed to the current situation in Los Angeles.
“We disagree with this approach to the migration phenomenon,” Sheinbaum angrily remarked.
Not a surprising response.
Though Sheinbaum’s apparent glitzing over legal immigration processes is.
“Mexicans living in the United States are good, honest men and women who left to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families … They are not criminals,” Sheinbaum continued.
Aside from the varied gang members, that is.
Sheinbaum becomes even more hyperbolic when claiming that Mexicans apparently transformed Los Angeles into what it is today.
“Los Angeles wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for the Mexicans who live there … The United States is what it is thanks also to the work of our fellow Mexicans who live across the border,” Sheinbaum continued.
Well, that’s a relatively fair point. After all, Los Angeles, alongside many other sanctuary cities, certainly wouldn’t be “what it is” had it not been for such an onslaught across the border.
The President of Mexico then proceeded to call for a ban on all “violence” … a reasonable enough request … provided that the call extends to both sides.
“We call for a ban on violence … Consuls are instructed to stay in touch with the 35 detained Mexicans and their families, and above all, to acknowledge the work of their fellow Mexicans there,” Sheinbaum added.
Per Sheinbaum, such individuals are clearly “heroes.”
And with that encouragement, something suggests that far more than 35 individuals be detailed in the coming days.
And, much like Newsom, Sheinbaum ominously intones that the raids ultimately serve a deeper – and darker – purpose than alleged immigration raids.
“It’s not about raids or violence, but rather working on a comprehensive reform that takes into account the Mexicans on the other side of the border. That is our position, always a call for peace, to not exacerbate any form of violent protest,” Sheinbaum continued.
Naturally, Newsom has further doubled down on his remarks following the steady deployment of troops, suggesting that the entire nation may soon be under siege.
“This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted. He flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard … The order he signed doesn’t just apply to [California]. It will allow him to go into ANY STATE and do the same thing. We’re suing him,” Newsom fearfully remarked.
Right. Until Newsom is incarcerated, that is, which Trump has openly called for.
Frankly, even if a judge rules against Trump, it is highly unlikely that the National Guard – never mind the Marines – will be going anywhere.
The coming days will certainly be informative, and it is safe to say that peace is likely not on the horizon.
