WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump made no secret of his willingness to exert a maximalist approach to enforcing immigration laws and keeping order as he campaigned to return to the White House. The fulfillment of that pledge is now on full display in Los Angeles.
The president has put hundreds of National Guard troops on the streets to quell protests over his administration’s immigration raids, a deployment that state and city officials say has only inflamed tensions. Trump called up the California National Guard over the objections of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom — the first time in 60 years a president has done so — and is deploying active-duty troops to support the guard.
By overriding Newsom, Trump is already going beyond what he did to respond to BLM protests in 2020, when he warned he could send troops to contain demonstrations that turned violent if governors in the states did not act to do so themselves. Trump said in September of that year that he “can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re requested by a governor” and that “we have to go by the laws.”
But now, the past and current president is moving swiftly, with little internal restraint to test the bounds of his executive authority in order to deliver on his promise of mass deportations. What remains to be seen is whether Americans will stand by him once it’s operationalized nationwide, as Trump looks to secure billions from Congress to dramatically expand the country’s detention and deportation operations.
For now, Trump is betting that they will.
“If we didn’t do the job, that place would be burning down,” Trump told reporters Monday, speaking about California. “I feel we had no choice. ... I don’t want to see what happened so many times in this country.”

How about Biden’s maximalist approach to importing illegally, illegal immigrants....
The Golden state was once an opinion leader, but that was decades ago.
Today they are more like the George Costanza Opposite state.
Gee, Wally, I guess Trump DOESN’T Always Chicken Out.
F’n AP. ugh l just despise them.
Is not the law always enforced “maximalist-ly”?
AP article written by a China man.
There our 12 million of those freeloaders. They have to go. They are busting our treasury and have enlarged the hell out of America’s carbon footprint. We don’t need 12 million illegal alien foreigner crowding our highways when the ahos aren’t blocking them with “protests” and they are burning up all of our gas. Joe Pedo’s 12 million have GOT TO GO!! Becca Bilant’s Vermonsters can wipe their own butts.
The left keeps saying that only the militia should have guns.
Here the militia is the National Guards, and they have guns.
Are these people ever happy?
No surprise that AP sucks up to Newscum and Company.....

“Are these people ever happy?”
No, and that’s a good way to identify them.

“12 million...freeloaders. They have to go.”
Require all SNAP & Medicaid recipients to check in yearly at USCIS.
exert a maximalist approach....in other words, enforce the law.
Is the Asian byatch who wrote the article here legally?
On TV news I just saw a wide angle shot of this “mass protest” and estimated a crowd of 300 persons, counted ten to fifteen Mexican and Palestinian flags, as well as one or two black flags (anarchist) and U.S. flags being held upside down.
Los Angeles is the epicenter of a mega-city of over ten million population.
With perfect weather, this protest attracted 0.003% of the people who could have easily accessed the site, and my guess is half the people there originated in Portland, San Francisco, Denver and Seattle anyway.
