Los Angeles is once again on fire. Protests, arrests, and violent clashes with law enforcement have erupted following a federal crackdown on illegal immigration. In response, and without invitation from local officials, the Trump administration federalized the California National Guard, raising constitutional concerns and appearing to further inflame the unrest.
But scratch beneath the surface, and this is neither an organic uprising nor a lawful resolution. What we are witnessing appears to be a carefully orchestrated sequence — a textbook “problem-reaction-solution” cycle designed to usher in the next phase of authoritarian governance.
The unrest in Los Angeles stems from policies deliberately designed to shield illegal immigration and undermine enforcement. Under S.B. 54, the California Values Act, state and local law enforcement are barred from cooperating with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) except in serious felony cases.

That’s not a police state. It’s common sense.
Duh.
Elected officials used to be off limits for this kind of treatment. Then came Trump. After two attempts to remove him from office on imaginary charges, he was prosecuted in state court on manufactured charges. They never counted on his re-election. Now he’s back and he’s pissed. The Democrats made him what he has become.
Bkmk
Should California be able to carry out its policies without any Federal aid?
So did American Citizens or Mexican citizens this damage last night in LA??

It should have been a police state, then it wouldn’t have turned into a criminal state.
Looks like criminal and invaders.
