A lawyer says that some immigrants who have been detained in LA raids have been deported.

It is a juxtap position that has military officials and experts.

Several current and former army officials said that the military parade and other festivities on Saturday – which is also President Trump’s 79th birthday – could make it look like the army is celebrating a performance against Americans.

“The unfortunate coincidence of the Parade and the federalization of the National Guard of California will feel ominous,” said Kori Schake, a former defense officer in the George W. Bush administration that leads foreign and defense management studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

Dr. Schake initially did not consider the parade as a problem, but is now worried about ‘the rapid escalation by the administration’ in Los Angeles.

The two scenes combined ‘trust in the army of eros at a time when the army should be a symbol of national unity, “said Max Rose, a former democratic congress and a veteran of the army.

“They are committed to direct contradiction with what state and local authorities have asked, and at the same time there is this huge parade with a display that is more appropriate for Russia and Noord -Korea,” he said.

Some veteran groups acidify the parade well before the latest implementations in Los Angeles. The army recently asked the Vietnam Veterans of America chapter in Noord -Virginia whether it would offer 25 veterans to be in the official assessment ratio. The group said no.

“If it was just a matter of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the army, there would be no doubt,” said Jay Kalner, president of the chapter and a retired CIA analyst. “But we thought it was merged with Trump’s birthday, and we didn’t want to be a prop.”

It was unclear exactly what grounds Mr Trump and the Ministry of Defense use Bet active Marines To an American city. The Posse Commitatus Act Generally prohibits Active Duty troops to offer domestic legislative enforcement, unless the president evokes the rich in rebellion law.

But in his order, Mr Trump quoted the federalization of California in his order, Trump called Title 10 of the United States Code, which determines the legal basis for the use of American military troops.

Mr. Trump wanted to call on the Uprising Act to use active military troops against Black Lives Matter demonstrators during his first term. But his Minister of Defense, Mark T. Esper, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley, both opposed the move, and Mr. Trump stopped.

The moment turned out to be a breaking point between Mr. Trump and the Pentagon. The president eventually Dissatid Mr. EsperAnd he has suggested that General Milley must be executed.

This time the Minister of Defense of Mr. Trump, Pete Hegseeth, welcomed him.

Within a few minutes after the command of Mr. Trump on Sunday the first 2,000 national guard troops use to participate in the scattered immigration protests in Los Angeles, Mr. Hegseeth threatened to use active marines From, he said, Camp Pendleton. (The Marines who were deployed on Monday evening were from Twentynine Palms, a base about 150 miles east of Los Angeles, but Mr. Hegseeth continued to say Camp Pendleton, which is about 100 miles south of the city).

By Monday evening, 700 Marines and another 2,000 national guard troops were activated for largely peaceful protests that have been done so far relatively little damage To buildings or companies. And on Tuesday Mr. Trump said that everyone who protested against the Parade in Washington would be confronted with a very great force. “

Mr. Hegseeth defended the bet in the testimony of the congress on Tuesday and said: “We must be able to maintain immigration legislation in this country.”

Mr. Hegseeth’s term of office is determined by his strengthening of the president. He has enthusiastically supported the arms of the army to hold a rare military parade, in which 150 military vehicles, including 28 tanks and 28 heavy armored troops, will roll the streets of the capital, allocating Mr Trump is awarded The celebration he has wanted for years.

Democratic legislators and some military veterans were afraid that Mr Hegseeth, himself a veteran of the National Guard who was deployed in 2020 against Black Lives Matter -demonstrators, took the army where it traditionally wanted to be the least: in the middle of a political struggle.

“The president’s decision to call the National Guard troops to Los Angeles, was premature, and the decision to also use active Marines is downright escalating,” said representative Betty McCollum, Democrat van Minnesota, during a hearing of the house committee on Tuesday as legislators. “Active-Duty Army plays absolutely no role in domestic law enforcement and they are not trained for those missions.”

A defense officer said that Pentagon lawyers believe that they found some leeway in the Title 10 determination that Mr. Trump used to recommend National Guard for Los Angeles against the wishes of the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom.

The Marines will help protect federal property and federal agents in Los Angeles, the Northern Command of the US Army said in a statement.

But unlike law enforcement officers or even national guard troops, who practice checking crowds during protests, active troops are trained to respond to threats quickly and with fatal power.

“I do not take the position that calling the Resurrection Act on this point is necessary; the facts on the spot do not justify it,” said Daniel Maurer, a retired army Lieutenant -Kolonel who served as a judge -law -general. “It is almost like a show to the Maga -based, if you want.” Mr. Maurer is now professor of law at Ohio Northern University.

The concern about the parade even popped up before the Trump administration used for troops in Los Angeles.

“The challenge of the Parade has been all the time how to celebrate the 250-year contribution of the army to the Republic and at the same time avoiding the politicization that comes from our current polarized partisan environment,” said Peter Feaver, professor of political sciences at Duke University that the army has already studied for decades. “That challenge is considerably more difficult when some units are seen that are seen at the same time, other units are seen that control a public protest.”

One army officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to prevent Mr Trump from alienating, said she would leave the city during the events.

Janessa Goldbeck, a veteran of Marine Corps who is now a senior advisor at the Veterans Advocacy Group Votvets, said that she was worried that the Marines and the National Guard were led to a political arched current that could damage their relations with the American public.

“Young men and women who sign up to serve, to do volunteer work in their communities, to respond to forest fires and other natural disasters,” she said, “are now placed politically in this very Dicey position.”
