Trump weakens deportation policy: escalate protests in Los Angeles!

In the midst of persistent protests in Los Angeles against the aggressive migration policy of the Trump administration, the Ministry of Homele Protection has issued new guidelines. Officials from the ICE immigration authority were instructed to largely refrain from raids and arrests in agricultural companies, hotels and restaurants. This decision, which was made by Tatum King, a senior official of ICE, is intended to protect "non -criminal accompanying persons". Nevertheless, there is the possibility of maintaining investigations into human trafficking, money laundering and drug smuggling, which makes the situation no less complicated. According to Kleine Zeitung , Trump has recognized that the aggressive immigration policy deprives farmers and the hotel and leisure sector, whose commitment he Civil rights praised as "great".

The protests in Los Angeles that started a week ago were triggered by the arrest of dozens of migrants without valid papers. These aggression led to violent confrontations between demonstrators and the police, in which around 1,000 people were involved. Some of the protesters lit objects and attacked the officers with eggs and stones, which caused the police to use tear gas, glare grenades and rubber shot to smash the crowd. The Ministry of Homeland protection described the claim that it was an arbitrary approach, as unfounded. Mayor Karen Bass and local police leaders distanced themselves from the raids and criticized the actions of the ICE, such as Tagesschau reported.

To meet the growing unrested, President Trump announced that he will send 2,000 soldiers from the National Guard to Los Angeles, against the express will of the governor of California, Gavin Newsom. This decision triggered violent counter -reactions because Newsom warned of an escalation of the situation and appealed to the citizens of remaining peaceful. In addition, the California governor sharply criticized the announcement, while Trump spoke of a "violent uprising" against state power. According to Deutschlandfunk , the National Guard could remain up to 60 days, or as long as the Minister of Defense considers it necessary. The first soldiers can already be spotted in the city.

This escalation comes at an unfavorable time, because on Saturday there are further demonstrations in Washington, as part of a planned military parade, which is also the focus of the president. Trump's spokeswoman made it clear that the president supports the right to peaceful protest, but recent developments are concerned that violence could increase in the streets of cities.

The current location in Los Angeles and the final measures of the government seem to be less to be decided on de -escalation and more for control, which further heats the minds from both sides. The power game between Trump and Newsom, two contrary political figures, only increases the tensions in a city, which traditionally has a high number of Hispanic inhabitants and a democratic majority.
