Liberal reporter Ken Klippenstein reported Saturday his sources saying the Pentagon had been taking a look at deploying Nationwide Guard troops to L.A. (excerpt):
A senior Pentagon intelligence analyst advised 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 speculated to disclose it, however this isn’t simply rhetoric, the Pentagon supply advised me.
The Revolt Act requires that the president problem a proper dispersal order earlier than sending in troops, which Trump has not achieved but. However the administration has already alleged that the anti-ICE protesters are impeding federal regulation enforcement, which supplies a authorized foundation for the Revolt Act to be invoked, permitting for the California Nationwide Guard to be “federalized.”
Earlier Saturday, White Home Deputy Chief of Employees Stephen Miller labeled the violent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles an “revolt,” indicating how President Trump would possibly reply.
An revolt towards the legal guidelines and sovereignty of america. https://t.co/STSn4hYGx4

UPDATE: White Home assertion:
“In current days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Regulation Enforcement Brokers finishing up fundamental deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are important to halting and reversing the invasion of unlawful criminals into america. Within the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have fully abdicated their accountability 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 prison habits and violence, particularly when that violence is aimed toward regulation enforcement officers making an attempt to do their jobs. These criminals will probably be arrested and swiftly dropped at justice. The Commander-in-Chief will make sure the legal guidelines of america are executed absolutely and fully.”
