Los Angeles, California has high stress, where thousands of people are opposing federal immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) operations. A curfew affected by the city’s mayor on Tuesday night became a bit calm, but there are no signs of de-size.
After deploying the National Guard, US President Donald Trump has now ordered the deployment of some 700 marine-duty-duty soldiers who are known for their rapid response and elite war capabilities.
For a spokesperson for the United States Northern Command, American soldiers have to help protect federal buildings and personnel including snow agents.
Since Friday, the protesters have occupied the roads in Los Angeles, defying the ice raids, targeting individuals, lack of proper immigration documentation. In some cases, masked ice agents allegedly arrested people on the road. Crackdown reflects the hardcore trend of the Trump administration on immigration – and now the army is called to assist by the President.
Presidential powers and rebellion act
Generally, the President cannot deploy unilateral national guards within an American state; The governors should authorize the discovery deployment. California Governor Gavin Newsom has clearly rejected the requirement of the National Guard and sued the Trump administration.
However, under the Revolt Act of 1807, the President has the right to deploy military forces without the consent of the Governor in matters of rebellion or civil unrest. Given the importance on the rights of the states in the American federal system, Trump is considered highly unusual to implement that right.
Governor Newsom has accused Trump of misusing executive power and warned that democratic norms are threatened in his actions. “California may occur first, but it won’t be clearly finished here,” Newsom said, “Other states are next. Democracy is ahead.”
Trump to bypassing judicial branch
Trump repeatedly clashed with the US judicial system in the office in the office. At the beginning of his tenure, he authorized exile that proceeded despite blocking them despite the order of the federal court. Since March, more than 250 non-American citizens-Trump has labeled as terrorists, who have been sent to Al Salvador. Al Salvador’s infamous Sikot continued to flight to the maximum security prison, even a federal judge ordered him to be placed on the ground.
To justify exile, the Trump administration cited the Act of foreign enemies of 1798, arguing that it allows the removal of the national from “hostile nations”, without confirming them. The Trump administration claims that the exiled people were affiliated to the transnational criminal group train de Argu.
In the American system, the judiciary is one of the three-social branches of the executive and legislative branches as well as the government. The balance among them is established for American democracy – critics say that Trump is eradicating that balance. Six of the nine Supreme Court Justices of the country are conservatives, three were appointed by Trump.
Will the ‘Principles of democracy’ win in America?
What about legislative industry? Trump has sidelined a large -scale Congress Sion to return to office in January, issued 161 executive orders till June 10 – similar deadlines Sion Sion more than any President in World War II. Their orders, which do not require approval of the House of Representatives, have had widespread impact from LGBTQ+ rights to trade policy.
“Trump would definitely like to go down in history, which is an executive power to its limit,” DW wrote to DW in an email by Patrick Mellone, Professor of Public Administration and Policy at the American University. For example, Malon questioned the legitimacy of the President’s collective firing of federal employees in the name of efficiency.
Malon said, “The question of the legitimacy of what this President has done is going to be in courts for years to come.” He warned that American democratic institutions are under severe pressure. Under the underlying issue, he said, “Many American laws were written to a nation that exist today.”
But Malon is optimistic: “The institute is quite difficult to top the general. Hopefully, the principles of democracy will eventually be strong.”
