National Guard to Put Down LA Protests

White House calls anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles an "insurrection"

This morning, a top aide to President Trump called the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles an “insurrection.” Should Trump invoke the Insurrection Act, he could deploy the U.S. military to the streets of LA to put down the demonstrations. The 19th-century law allows for an exception to the Posse Comitatus, which normally prohibits U.S. troops from acting as domestic law enforcement.

“An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States,” Trump’s aide Stephen Miller said on X, referring to video of the LA protests.

I was inclined to take the statement seriously but I did not realize how quickly Miller’s threat would be carried out.

“We're gonna bring National Guard in tonight,” Trump’s border czar Tom Homan just told Fox News.
