The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has ordered the Deployment of another 2,000 National Guard Military of California to, as he says, “support” the immigration and customs service (ICE). These 2,000 troops will join the already mobilized – about 1,700 – in the face of protests in Los Angeles against migratory networks.
“By order of the president, the Department of Defense is mobilizing 2,000 national california guards that They will be called to the federal service to support ICE And allow federal public order agents to perform their tasks safely, “the Pentagon Chief Spokesman, Sean Parnell, has announced in his social network account, Sean Parnell.
Trump has made this decision despite the fact that the California Prosecutor’s Office has announced the presentation of A complaint against him and against the head of the PentagonPete Hegseth, for the “illegal” and “incendiary” deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, this measure has been taken “without authorization from the Governor (Gavin) Newsom and against the desire of security forces.”
“As of today, June 9, 2025, There are approximately 1,700 soldiers of the 79th Combat Team of the Infantry Brigadea unit of the National Guard of California (…) in the Metropolitan Area of Los Angeles, “said the northern command of the United States Army, where he has previously announced the mobilization of about 700 Marines.
California has sued Trump and he has responded with threats
The state of California has decided to file a lawsuit against Trump. They consider that it has “illegally” deployed the National Guard by considering that it abused “the authority of the federal government” and that violated the tenth amendment of the Constitution.
For his part, the US president has defended the idea of stopping the governor of California, Gavin Newson. “Should Tom Homan, the Anti Migration Tsar of the Trump administration, to the governor of California, Gavin Newsom? “I would do it if it were Tom”.
An unprecedented order in 33 years
The last time a president of the United States ordered the National Guard to take the streets was In 1992 when George Wh Bush made this decision To end the violent revolts of April 29 of that same year after the acquittal of the four police officers who had brutally hit Rodney King a year earlier.
The aggression was recorded by a neighbor and issued in the media. The ruling in favor of the police caused violent disturbances and looting episodes that lasted four days and left about 60 dead, more than 2,000 injured and large material damage.
First time in 60 years that it is sent to the National Guard without state consent
The decision to send more than 4,000 military personnel against the current Californian governed, Gavin Newson, and the mayor of Democrat Haren Bass is a scenario that It was not seen in the United States for 60 years.
The last time something similar happened was in 1965 when President Lyndon B. Johnson “Federalized” the National Guard to send it to Alabama Without the support of the state governor, George Wallace.
