Early this month, US military and masked federal agents from imposing immigration and customs and from customs friends invaded A park near Downtown Los Angeles – Saically, a park named Gen. Douglas MacArthur. They are ready for battle, wearing tactical gear and camouflage, with some horseback, while others surround the armed helicopters. Although the advance force failed to pick up anyone, it succeeded in the liberation of the park from a group of children joined a summer camp.
The operation of Macarhur Park seems to be a scene from “South Park,” but it really happens – and its implications are scary. Like Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol Agent in charge, As In Fox News: “It is better to use us today, ’cause it may be normal soon. We go anywhere, whenever we want to Los Angeles.” And President Trump sent the same message to every democratic governor and Mayor of America daring to disobey him. He will send many armed federal forces wherever he wants, whenever he wants and for any reason.
The United States stands at the door of an authoritarian collapse, and Congress and the courts provide many tools. He learned from January 6, 2021, he needed tight control of “guys with retired chairman Mark Malley put it on. And that’s what he got when Congress confirmed Trumps to Trump to lead all “Military Ministers” – the FBI and Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security.
As a president’s commander, the President can bring troops and below Title 10He can also put troops in the country’s guard under his command – even contrasts the preferences of local officials. Govin Newsom mayor Trump’s legality of this authority in Los Angeles last month, and we can see what the courts say – but based on first judgments, the court of appeals for 9th circuit appears likely to delay President. Under the May be accompanied by worktroops are unable to implement laws, but Trump can change that by invocation The act of uprising, And we need to assume that the current Supreme Court will suck him so, after long standing Fairies Telling the power of the president under the act is “conclusion.”
Trump can send the military to other cities, but the most dangerous weapon of his authority in the Department of Department of Yearland’s department in ice and double the killing capacity.
Undoubtedly, it will put “Trump’s mass deportation” to overdriving, but it’s not about immigration. Remember Portland in 2020, if Trump sent Border Patrol Agents in the city? Against the likes In the Governor of Oregon and Mayor in Portland, President protects federal agents and controlling disruption after killing George Floyd. Under the Move Security SecurityThe Secretary can appoint any employee in the Department to help the Federal Protective Service to take care of government’s possessions and fulfilling “as other activities for the Secretary promotion can prescribe.”
Under the law, DHS officials can also arrest, outside the federal property, for “any offense against the United States.” This is why, in 2020, Trump’s agents can do it anywhere in the country, and the billions provided by immigrants and boundary agencies, DHS can accumulate federal preferences and whenever Trump.
Of course, under 4th change, officers should have at least Reasonable suspicion Based on specific, artikil facts before they can stop and ask a person, and most likely to cause them to catch. And Friday, US District Judge Maa Ewusi-Mensah Fromato issued a temporary order outs Blocking Ice and Customs and Border Protection from doing such stops with unreasonable suspicion, and further maintenance that it is not accommodated in apparent race or ethnicity; speaking in Spanish or speaking English with an accent; presence at a particular location, such as a home depot parking lot; or the type of work that a person does. This rule can end with an important contraction of the constitution of these agencies, but we see. The Trump administration appeals to the rule.
However this litigation will continue, it is important to note that DHS agencies are unlike the FBI, with historical historical abuse and response to the revelations of J. Edgar power. DHS and its agencies do not have such luggage, and they clearly pushed the envelope of Los Angeles – sometimes violent – in the last month. And even if Frimpong’s judgment joins appeal, ice and customs and border protection have undoubtedly adapted their officials to stop the other justifications to stop people in streets or at work. In the end, these agencies are used to operate near the border, where, Japanese chief Justice William rehnquist words, the power of government government is “of its zenith“And where there are least constitutional constraints in their actions.
These are the tools to throw Trump – and while DHS hurried to hire thousands of agents and monitored the Congress at the facility, these tools could be worse. And one must expect Trump to deprive the DHS paramilitary forces to “protect” and 2028 troops, in the same way they work together to get the MacArthur Park.
An imaginary, dystopia scenario? Perhaps, but who or what can prevent it from happening? Congress is not ready to stand by the President – and while individual federal judges can be made, the Supreme Court as much as he gives up on, especially with issues about National Security or Immigration. Therefore, in the words of Bruce Springsok“The final examination of power, after government checks and balances failed, are people, you and me.” Match.
