Liberal reporter Ken Klippenstein reported Saturday his sources saying the Pentagon had been deploying Nationwide Guard troops to L.A. (excerpt):
A senior Pentagon intelligence analyst instructed me that Homan’s comment wasn’t idle bluster. The Pentagon, he defined, has been actively discussing the deployment of navy personnel to Los Angeles in response to the demonstrations.
It wasn’t clear if Homan was presupposed to disclose it, however this isn’t simply rhetoric, the Pentagon supply instructed me.
The Riot Act requires that the president difficulty a proper dispersal order earlier than sending in troops, which Trump has not executed but. However the administration has already alleged that the anti-ICE protesters are impeding federal legislation enforcement, which supplies a authorized foundation for the Riot Act to be invoked, permitting for the California Nationwide Guard to be “federalized.”
Earlier Saturday, White Home Deputy Chief of Workers Stephen Miller labeled the violent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles an “rebel,” indicating how President Trump would possibly reply.

UPDATE: White Home assertion:
“In latest days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Regulation Enforcement Brokers finishing up primary deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are important to halting and reversing the invasion of unlawful criminals into the USA. Within the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have fully abdicated their duty to guard their residents. That’s the reason President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 Nationwide Guardsmen to deal with the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance coverage for legal conduct and violence, particularly when that violence is geared toward legislation enforcement officers attempting to do their jobs. These criminals might be arrested and swiftly dropped at justice. The Commander-in-Chief will make sure the legal guidelines of the USA are executed totally and fully.”
