The peaceful protests in Los Angeles against the unlawful measures of the federal regime have turned violent with attacks on government properties mainly because of the provocative policy of President Donald Trump in ordering the National Guard and Marines or the regular soldiers to try to crush the public and silence their legitimate demands.

The growing number of protestors now include Christian priests angry at the inhuman attitude of the Republican regime.

Vehicles, especially police and National Guard cars, lie smashed in the streets as bonfires blaze across downtown Los Angeles for the past three days.

About 700 Marines from the Marine Corps base in Twentynine Palms, California, are to support the roughly 300 National Guard members already in the city against the protestors with high-handed tactics that may include live round of ammunitions.

Trump had earlier ordered the deployment of 2,000 troops in a move California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized as inflammatory.

A civil war seems to be brewing in the US as the federal regime in Washington and the local government of California go at each other’s throats.

Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued Trump and his Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the activation of the state’s National Guard, asking a court to declare the order unlawful.

Protests erupted after Immigration Customs Enforcement officers carried out raids last Friday in three locations across Los Angeles, where dozens of people arbitrarily arrested.

Newsom called the raids “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.”

The protests in Los Angeles are firm proof of the failure of the Trump regime in running the country and respecting the rights of American citizens, as well as the inhuman measures against the so-called immigrants.

Trump, who is anarchic by nature, cannot be trusted. This evident by his wayward international policies as well, especially the indirect talks held so far with Iran for removal of the US sanctions, which unfortunately have increased after each round of talks.

Moreover, Trump is in open alliance with the wanted terrorist Benjamin Netanyahu of the illegal Zionist entity, with whom he admits he has held talks on Iran’s civilian nuclear project.

This clearly means the insincere US president is trying to trap Iran instead of resolving the problems he himself has created.

The same is the story inside the US. The Los Angeles protests provoked by the policies of Trump are likely to spread to other American cities, and result in unnecessary loss of life because of his miscalculations.
