About 500 #NationalGuard troops in LA are trained to accompany agents on immigration raids

Nearly 5,000 military personnel have been mobilized in the Los Angeles area in response to immigration raid protests. A commander says National Guard troops and Marines will protect #ICE agents and federal buildings, and will be allowed to 'temporarily' detain people.

WASHINGTON (AP) — "About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday. And while some troops have already gone on such missions, he said it’s too early to say if that will continue even after the protests die down.

"Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, speaking in an interview with The Associated Press and ABC, also warned that he expects the protest situation will escalate. 'We are expecting a ramp up,' he said, noting that protests across the nation are being planned and discussed now. 'I’m focused right here in LA, what’s going on right here. But you know, I think we’re, we’re very concerned.'

"Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 that is overseeing the more than 4,000 Guard troops and 700 #Marines deployed, initially said that National Guard troops had already temporarily detained some civilians. He later said he was incorrect, and that he had based his comments on photos and footage he had seen that turned out to not be a representation of Guard members in Los Angeles.

"He said that as of Wednesday, none of the troops has detained a protester. But he said they have gone through days of training and are prepared to do so if needed. Close to 2,000 of the Guard members have either been out protecting federal facilities or personnel already or are ready to move out, and the Marines will wrap up their training and are expected to be on the streets of Los Angeles as early as Thursday evening, Sherman said.

"The decision to have the soldiers provide security on the raids moves troops closer than ever before to carrying out law enforcement actions such as #deportations as President Donald Trump has promised as part of his immigration crackdown.

"#California Gov. #GavinNewsom has called the troop deployment a 'serious breach of state #sovereignty' and a #PowerGrab by Trump, and has gone to court to stop it. The president has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is 'a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.'

"Under the Posse Comitatus Act, active-duty forces are prohibited by law from conducting law enforcement. Sherman said all of the Guard troops and Marines are going through several days of training on #CivilUnrest and #CrowdControl so they know exactly what they can and can’t do." [Um, yeah... Sure...]

If anyone has information on the so-called "slinky" the lapd apparently uses, I'm interested in knowing more about it. #LA #police #cops #CrowdControl

Helicopter POV shot of the federal detention center in downtown LA, by ABC7. The LAPD, LA County Sherrif's deputies, and the California National Guard form the rear of a march on June 2025 protesters, dispersing the crowd away from the front of the building. The truck has two bright yellow loops of wire stored on the top, a crowd control device that creates difficult terrain on-demand.
Hachyderm.ioSnoopJ (@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io)Attached: 1 image KCAL reporter last night explained that those yellow rings are a crowd control device. Basically portable terrain. Didn't get the "you buy it from your defensecorp shithead^H^H^Wsalesperson" name for it, but the #LAPD apparently calls them slinkies. Would love to know the formal name if anyone knows it. Dudes hanging off the truck and others uniformed like them are Sherriff's deputies. LAPD themselves are in all-black riot gear. I don't know if the perimeter in the top are CA National Guard broadening their own perimeter. It would be the right time for that, so yea, maybe. The National Guard's part of this is basically done, now. Their orders are to protect federal property, that's where the federal government's authority ends according to whatever is left of the flesh of federalist democracy in the US. From here on out, it's the State of California vs. The People. #FuckICE #ChingaLaMigra
