“No arrests, no graffiti,” the mayor said. He said the National Guard, mobilized by Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, had not taken part in security efforts. “I don’t even know where the Guard is,” Mr. Whitmire said. “We don’t need them."

"Gov. Pillen allows activation of #Nebraska#NationalGuard for weekend protests

"The Nebraska National Guard will be deployed in advance of several planned protests in Nebraska this weekend.

"In an emergency proclamation issued Friday, Pillen said the protests across the state have the potential for a 'significant amount of criminal behavior.' "

Reuters images showed #Marines apprehending a #civilian, restraining his hands w/zip ties & then handing him over to civilians from #DHS.

Asked about the incident, US #military's Northern Command spox said active duty forces "may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances."

"Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel," a spox said.

Per Idrees Ali of Reuters:

The #troops are authorized [by whom? Not by law] to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until #LawEnforcement can arrest them.

Well, the #PosseComitatusAct has officially been violated.

#NationalGuard troops have detained #civilians in #LAprotests, commander says

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman also said about 500 of the #NationalGuard #troops have been trained so far to accompany #ICE agents on #immigration operations.…

Sherman is commander of Task Force 51, which is overseeing the >4,000 Guard troops & 700 #Marines who have been deployed to #LosAngeles to provide security during the #protests.

There were numerous scenes of protesters throwing rocks or other objects at law enforcement officers & setting cars ablaze, including a number of self-driving #Waymo taxis. At the same time, false images spread to revive old #ConspiracyTheories that the #protests were a planned provocation, not a spontaneous response to the #immigration raids.

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new #protests occurred & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth announced—on X—that he was mobilizing 700 #Marines from a base near #LosAngeles to guard federal bldgs. They are expected to join 2k members of the #California#NationalGuard whom #Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the #state’s #governor, #GavinNewsom, who normally [legally] has command of the #troops.

"You took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascist in the White House."
EDIT: Someone misidentified as Wyatt Russell to the #NationalGuard at #ICE protest.
UPDATE

NOT child of Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn, LA celebrities.
Maybe this'll get picked up by @TMZ @people @time to reach folks that only watch Fox. Sadly, it won't make cable news, no violence.

The message is still good. No violence. Words. Peaceful protest.

Wyatt Russell to National Guard in LA : Feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks? You should be standing here with us. You're on the wrong side of history. We know you got a job to do. But you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascist in the White House. Think about what you're doing now. Think about what this means. Coming in an our community. Peaceful f*king community. People working their jobs. They send in men in military fatigues. Weapons of war. In our community. And you stand here and you allow it. I am sick and tired of it. You should be sick and tired of it. You think any of these people in the White House sending you these commands. Give a f*ck about you. Not one of them do. They laugh at you. Our President laughs at you. He calls you fools. He said the people who died overseas in the military were chumps. That's who you're defending right now. Every last time. Think about your place in history, ladies and gentlemen. Ask yourself when you wake up tomorrow. I don't know if you have kids. Ask yourself the future you want your children. Is it this? You can answer me. Is it this? Do you feel good about this? You're tough behind your fucking masks and your fatigues and with your weapons. But how do you feel on the inside? This is our fucking community!

The crucial part of yesterday's Presidential Memorandum:

"In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion..."

- Any # of active-duty troops can be deployed.
- It doesn’t say California, it applies nationwide.
- While the National Guard portion is limited to 60 days (at first), this section has no time constraint.
- The Secretary of Defense, a political appointee, decides alone what level of force is “necessary.”
- This sets up a legal pretext to insert active-duty military into any peaceful protest nationwide, without needing to invoke the Insurrection Act.

They basically just declared martial law, without having to use the Insurrection Act of 1807 like Project 2025 had planned. They used bureaucratic language and vague “protective” justifications to do essentially the same thing. Find your local 6/14 No Kings protest. Get active.
Rise Up.

AP:

Members of the #NationalGuard faced off w/ #protesters in #LosAngeles on Sun, & #TearGas was fired at a growing crowd that gathered outside a federal complex hours after the federal troops arrived in the city on #Trump’s orders.

The confrontation broke out in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in #LA, as a group of demonstrators SHOUTED INSULTS at the guard lined shoulder to shoulder behind riot shields.

Tear gas for insults.

🚨🚨 #NationalGuard members or other agents, it’s not clear which, just fired what appeared to be #TearGas at the crowd outside the detention center in downtown #LosAngeles, scattering #protesters who coughed from the smoke. Others helped them wash out their eyes.

At least one protester was hit by a #RubberBullet.

The principle of #proportionality is a #legal doctrine that requires any action taken by authorities, especially in the context of surveillance & #LawEnforcement, to be #proportionate to the objective being pursued.

#Law enforcement officers should use only the amount of force necessary to mitigate an incident, make an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm.

#Trump just spoke to reporters. During questioning about what #NationalGuard #troops were authorized to do he said:

“If they spit, we hit.”

That is 100% NOT how law enforcement is supposed to respond.

The #UseOfForce is limited by #proportionality.
