8 d. ago Trump praises ‘great job’ by national guard in calming LA protests, as mayor says troops are not in the city – US politics live

Mayor Karen Bass disputes president’s claim as she thanks local law enforcement for dealing with unrest following immigration crackdownPresident Trump appears to have used federal law to order the national guard to go to Los Angeles, rather than the 18th century Insurrection Act.The national guard is a hybrid entity that serves both state and federal interests. Often, it operates under state command and control, using state funding. Sometimes national guard troops will be assigned by their state to serve federal missions, remaining under state command but using federal funding.Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task.These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLE...
