LAPD Issues Citywide Tactical Alert Before Sunset and Trump Deploys More National Guard Troops – Twitchy

A citywide tactical alert has been declared for Los Angeles, California. It’s still daylight, and huge crowds of protesters continue to flood the ICE detention center where the National Guard is at the ready to protect the facility and its occupants. President Donald Trump is sending more troops to the city; more on that later.

Here’s Bill Melugin with Fox News. (WATCH)

It is not even the night yet.

Another night of madness may be upon us.

National Guard presence shows how far things have fallen. Time to back the blue and restore order.

Gavin just keeps encouraging them to keep protesting, too.

They just keep giving Trump justification to send in more National Guard and military. Lockdown the entire city. Let’s get to arresting/deporting.

With Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass allowing and encouraging the lawlessness of both domestic and illegal alien rioters to continue, Trump is forced to act to protect ICE agents as they carry out lawful arrests in the Democrat-controlled sanctuary city.

Here are more details on which forces are being mobilized by Trump. (WATCH)

🚨 #BREAKING: President Trump is deploying ANOTHER 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, bringing the total to over 4,000

That’s in ADDITION to the 700 Marines en route.

A total of over 4,700 troops are about to be on the ground

The police need help. They are out manned and restricted by politics.

The LAPD is greatly hindered from doing anything effective while rioters are emboldened by Democrat leaders.

Posters are glad Trump is keeping his campaign promises on rounding up and deporting illegal aliens. But have some reservations about sending in more troops. 

He is doing exactly what he promised: protect Americans.
It’s refreshing to see a president and team have integrity, love of our country and balls to stand up to evil.

Good. If this is what is needed, due to the lefts violence, then this is what should be done.

None of this will mean a damn thing if Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom are not in handcuffs.

None of this will mean a damn thing if the financiers are not arrested and their assets frozen.

I don’t want to see our law enforcement and military risk their lives for nothing.

The worry among Trump supporters is that troops and other federal agents will lack the authority to carry out arrests and do what is needed to bring order back to Los Angeles. We’ll know that answer soon enough.
