Tensions in Los Angeles reached a boiling point this week as California National Guard troops arrived following clashes between protesters and federal immigration agents. The move, ordered by President Trump without Governor Newsom’s approval, marks the first presidential-led state guard activation since 1965. 🌆
Why It Matters
Protesters argue the federal deployment has worsened unrest, with many calling it an overreach. 'This isn’t about safety—it’s about control,' said one demonstrator, echoing widespread frustration. Meanwhile, the political divide between California and the Trump administration deepens, sparking debates about state autonomy. 💥
Historical Context
The last similar deployment occurred during 1965’s Watts riots. Analysts say this move could set a precedent for federal-state power dynamics. Social media is buzzing with #HandsOffCA trends, blending activism and memes to challenge the narrative. 📱✊
