Trump Sends 2,000 National Guards And 700 Marines To LA by God1000(op): 8:47am On Jun 10, 2025
President Donald Trump ordered active-duty US Marines and 2,000 more National Guard troops into Los Angeles late on Monday, vowing those protesting immigration arrests would be "hit harder" than ever.

Trump's extraordinary mobilisation of 700 full-time professional military personnel - and thousands of National Guard troops - came on the fourth day of street protests triggered by dozens of immigration arrests in a city with huge foreign-born and Latino populations.

California Governor Gavin Newsom slammed the move, posting on X that US Marines "shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American."

At least americans are protesting against the bad policies of Donald trump, in Nigeria we sit back and watch our leaders do whatever they like and defend them.
Re: Trump Sends 2,000 National Guards And 700 Marines To LA by God1000(op):
I thought Marines are for war

But Where was the National Guard on Jan. 6th, 2021?

I can see the protesters are not using US national flag this time, there's going to be another revolution in America

How is deporting illegal immigrants a bad policy? 🙄
Are you seriously so comfortable with lawbreaking that you think it’s fine to enter a country illegally?
Far-left liberals and traitors are destroying the West, they’d burn this country to the ground just because they hate Trump and conservative values. Only a confused person would open the borders and let criminals waltz in illegally, all in the name of being ‘politically correct.

Look at what’s happened to parts of Europe, unrecognizable. Why doesn’t anyone demand China open its borders and take in illegal migrants? . Well, ecause they’d almost never allow it. But in the U.S., these criminals get away with everything, hiding behind ‘freedom.’ Pathetic!

If you don’t know what you’re talking about, maybe just stay quiet. You’re always in these threads trying to sound smart. Try to read and learn instead of pushing these ridiculous takes!🤫

You're talking nonsense.

No president is allowed to rollout the National Guard into a state without invitation from the State Government.

Due process for illegals? You have no business being in the country at first.
Funny how you suddenly care about ‘rules’ when it benefits illegal immigrants, but ignore the fact they broke the law just by being here. ICE doesn’t ‘kidnap’ people, they arrest those who violated U.S. immigration laws, just like the police arrest anyone else who commits a crime.

You scream ‘brutality’ when deportations happen, but where’s that energy for the American families hurt by illegal immigration? Ever ask how many U.S. citizens have been killed by repeat offender illegal aliens (like the Laken Riley case)? Or how about the billions in tax dollars spent on healthcare, schools, and welfare for people who shouldn’t even be in the US?

I ask, if illegal immigration is so ‘harmless,’ why don’t you demand Mexico or China adopt the same open-border policy you and others push for America? 🙄

You’re the one talking nonsense. The National Guard point is irrelevant, we’re talking about federal immigration enforcement, which is 100% within presidential authority. ICE and CBP don’t need state permission to deport illegal aliens.

Dont you find it funny how you suddenly care about ‘rules’ when it suits your agenda. I can give you different instances of that. People like you don’t actually care about legal process, you just want to handcuff enforcement.

Millions illegal crossings under Biden, with thousands+ gotaways (many criminals, some terrorists). 🙄

I've always known you to be a sadist, but you should know that treating immigrants in such dehumanizing way is against international law, all humans are to be treated with respect and dignity, moreover america has invaded so many countries, plundered their resources and caused a lot of instability, so why deporting people from these countries after all the exploitation

Let me be crystal clear. Any nation has the absolute right to defend its borders ,with force if necessary. Try breaking into another country illegally and see how that works out for you. There's no 'VIP pass' for violating sovereignty.

Here's a simple analogy even liberals can understand: If a criminal breaks into your home, are you required to give them free room and board out of 'compassion'? Of course not. So why should America be any different?

By the way, you're very silent about Mexico's brutal immigration enforcement. They routinely detain and deport Central American migrants, often violently. Where are your protests about their border policies? Or does your fake outrage only apply when it's politically convenient?

Even if you hate U.S. history, how does that justify flooding the country with millions of unvetted migrants today? By that warped logic, should Germany open its borders because of WWII or Germany is right to? Should Japan?

Since you think borders are so meaningless, why aren't you demanding Mexico and China take in millions of migrants? Could it be that you know full well no sane nation would ever do that, except the one you're trying to destroy? 😂😂

There's hardly any illegal aliens in US.

You have undocumented immigrants, who are finalising their paperwork.

In the meantime, they work, they pay taxes, and cannot claim benefits in the form of Medicare or Medicaid.

Wait, you admit they're undocumented (meaning they entered/overstayed illegally)
Yet claim they're 'finalizing paperwork'
And pretend they don't take benefits (while you skipped...
[b]Emergency Medicaid ($B/year)
Public school costs ($B/year)
Anchor baby citizenship lies and loopholes


So, tell us, If their presence is so legal, why are there millions of deportation cases backlogged?
How exactly does someone 'finalize paperwork' when they started by breaking the law?

You can't claim they're 'legalizing' while ignoring they CHEATED THE LINE ahead of millions waiting legally. That's like saying a bank robber is 'finalizing repayment' while still spending the stolen cash. Does that make any sense? Try.

Undocumented means you've not had a final verdict on your status.

Some are overstayers (not illegal)
TPS - that Trump just revoked.
Previously married (requiring regularisation)
Victims of trafficking, violence, etc.
Asylum seekers, etc.

Nice try. 🤫
If you enter illegally (crossing the border unlawfully), you’re a criminal under 8 U.S. Code § 1325. Period.
If you overstay a visa, you violate 8 U.S. Code § 1227, also illegal. Calling it ‘undocumented’ doesn’t change that.

TPS isn’t a free pass.
Temporary Protected Status is for emergencies,not permanent residency. Trump only followed the law when conditions improved. https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status
Why should the US be forced to house foreign nationals indefinitely?

Asylum loopholes, most times = fraud. A huge percent of asylum claims are denied because most migrants aren’t real refugees, they’re economic migrants gaming the system.


Victims of trafficking, yes but are you aware that Biden’s open borders caused a spike in violence against women and children? https://www.heritage.org/border-security/commentary/bidens-open-border-policy-fuels-violence-against-women-children


If a U.S. citizen overstays a visa in Europe, they get deported. No ‘regularization.’ No sob stories.
Mexico deports illegals, Why do you only cry for U.S. laws?
You can’t reward lawbreaking and expect order, because every ‘exception’ you named is either temporary or requires deportation once resolved.


Why should America be the world’s dump house?
Either admit you want open bordersor stop pretending this is about ‘fairness.’!

There are several, millions of cases of overstayers who have regularise their paperwork and become citizens.
It is not for you to determine that but the courts.

Weak!!! Are you confused?🙄

TPS (Temporary Protected Status) is exactly that, temporary. It’s for crises like earthquakes or wars, nota free pass for permanent residency .
Example: Haiti’s TPS was renewed for years, but once conditions improved, the U.S. rightly ended it. Are you saying the US should house every migrant indefinitely?
If you support "permanent TPS," why not demand Mexico or China take them? 😂😂

Whether someone came under TPS, parole, or asylum, they still entered illegally or overstayed a visa. Why's that so hard to understand?

It is not for you to determine that but the courts.
Your statement “Millions of overstayers have regularized and become citizens.”
But you just proved my point. If they regularized, they did it through a legal process. That confirms immigration law must be enforced, not ignored. So why defend breaking it first?

Overstayers becoming citizens isn’t automatic. The courts don’t wave a wand, most go through years of processing, sponsorships, or hardship waivers. That’s not “normal”, that’s the exception. So why are you excusing millions of people violating U.S. sovereignty on the hope they might legalize later?

Also, you say “it’s for the courts,” but how can courts decide if the asylum system is flooded with fake claims, and a huge percent of illegal immigrants skip court hearings altogether?🙄

Would you get to “regularize” your status after overstaying a visa in Japan? Some other countries ? No, you’d be deported, not coddled. Why should America be the only country attacked for enforcing its own borders?

Plus, while you're talking about “regularization,” the current border crisis is overwhelming cities like New York and Chicago, places run by pro-immigration politicians. How’s that working out?

Is it fair to real immigrants who waited in line, paid fees, and followed every rule, to let border crossers skip the system entirely?
If lawbreaking can lead to citizenship, what’s the point of having laws at all?
