Trump vows to "liberate" Los Angeles!
Reference Message Network reported on June 11 that according to the Singapore United Daily News website report on June 11, US President Trump said that Los Angeles, which has been holding continuous protests recently, was being "invaded by foreign enemies", and he vowed to "liberate" the city.
Agence France-Presse reported that Trump spoke at the Fort Bragg military base of the US Army in North Carolina on June 10. He referred to the demonstrators in Los Angeles, California as "animals" and said they were waving the flags of other countries. He also incited soldiers to boo and mock California Governor Newsom and former President Biden.
Last week, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids at multiple locations in Los Angeles, arresting dozens of immigrants, triggering days of protests. Protesters opposed the authorities' tough enforcement actions and clashed with security personnel multiple times. Trump has ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to be sent to Los Angeles, including 700 active-duty Marines.
According to military officials, Marine members do not have arrest authority and are only responsible for protecting federal property and personnel. There were about 2,100 National Guard members in the Los Angeles area on the 10th, with more forces arriving.
Trump stated at Fort Bragg: "This anarchy must stop. We will absolutely not allow federal law enforcement officers to be attacked, nor will we allow American cities to be invaded and occupied by foreign enemies."
He told the US troops at Fort Bragg: "What you see in California is a full-scale attack on peace, public order, and national sovereignty, carried out by mobs waving foreign flags, with the aim of continuing foreign invasion of our country."
Newsom firmly opposed Trump sending troops to Los Angeles, criticizing Trump's authoritarianism. California filed a lawsuit against Trump and the US Department of Defense starting from September 9, seeking to prevent the deployment of federal troops, and then sought immediate rulings on specific issues related to federal troops participating in police enforcement on the 10th. The judge is expected to hold a hearing on this issue on the 12th.
Trump compared the demonstrators in Los Angeles with uncontrolled immigrants and said that Europe must also take action.
"As you can see around the world now, uncontrolled immigration causes chaos, dysfunction, and disorder. Do you know? Europe has the same problem, and this is happening in many European countries. They had better take action before it's too late."
