What If the National Guard Cant Quell the L.A. | Political News
As PurpleState reported earlier on Saturday, President Trump signed an emergency government order in mild of the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles devolving into rioting and the native law enforcement failing to restore order, ordering the state National Guard to take control of the affected areas.
WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt launched a assertion, saying the president’s motion:
“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States.
In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.
That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.”
The vice president also reacted to the EO on Saturday through his X account.

Pres. Trump also wrote about the disorder allowed by California’s liberal governance and its resolution on Saturday night time, writing on his Truth Social account that if the state and native Democrat leaders in the Golden State refuse to “do their jobs,” his administration would “step in and solve the problem.”
But some at this hour is perhaps asking a robust query: What occurs if the National Guard cannot quell the chaos?
My colleague at sister website Townhall, Katie Pavlich, writes that DefSec Pete Hegseth just shared an reply if that unthinkable scenario comes to go. Active responsibility Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, who are already poised to take motion “on high alert,” he said online, “will also be mobilized.”
“The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK,” Hegseth mentioned via his official X account shortly after Trump’s order. “Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE. The [Defense Department] is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.”
The residents of the L.A. space, embrace some of our own contributors, need your earnest and passionate prayers proper now–for calm to be restored and sanity to reign in the City of Angels in the coming hours and days. I do know I’ll be pondering of them tonight.
