LA移民いみん摘発てきはつめぐる抗議こうぎデモ 衝突しょうとつや略奪りゃくだつ拡大かくだい 海兵かいへい隊たい700人にん配備はいびか

In Los Angeles in the western United States, confusion sparked by a mass immigration crackdown under the Trump administration has entered its fifth day.

As clashes and looting of stores spread in the central area, it is reported that 700 Marine soldiers have also been deployed to the scene, making this an extraordinary situation.

The Trump administration has been conducting mass raids targeting immigrants without residency status around Los Angeles since last week. According to sources such as the city of Los Angeles, on the 9th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out searches at at least five locations, including home improvement centers where immigrants gather.

In response, some of the protest participants clashed with police on the night of the 9th, and several stores in the downtown area were looted amid the chaos.

Los Angeles Mayor Bass emphasized at a press conference on the 10th that the city, centered around its police authorities, is fully prepared, and stated, The fundamental solution is for the Trump administration to stop the Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

However, he said, I have heard that such searches could continue for another 30 days, expressing concern that social unrest may be prolonged.

Amid these circumstances, American media reported on the 10th that 700 Marine Corps soldiers, under the orders of President Trump, had arrived in Los Angeles.

This is the first time since the 1992 Los Angeles riots that Marine Corps soldiers have been deployed domestically to quell unrest, making it a highly unusual situation.

In addition, California Governor Newsom said on the 9th that he had received notice that President Trump would be sending an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, and the focus is on whether this will help bring the chaos under control.

President Trump: Soldiers will remain until the situation stabilizes. On the 10th, President Trump told reporters at the White House that in some areas, rioters were seen throwing pieces of concrete at police cars. He condemned this, saying, In Los Angeles, there was a situation that could even be called an uprising.

That was terrible.

They are hired thugs who are paid money, he claimed.

And when asked by reporters, How long will the National Guard be deployed? he replied, They will withdraw once the danger is gone, indicating that the soldiers will remain until the situation on the ground stabilizes.

On top of that, If you watch every night, youll see that the number of rioters is decreasing.

They are facing a very powerful force, he said, emphasizing that the governments response is proving effective.

Also, President Trump said, With the Olympics approaching...

I dont want to show the terrible situation in Los Angeles, he said, emphasizing the need for an early resolution of the situation in light of the fact that the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Los Angeles in 2028.

On the other hand, regarding the military parade scheduled to be held in Washington, the capital, on the 14th of this month—which is also his birthday—to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army, he said, If there are any protesters, they will be dealt with using very strong force.

I have not heard about the protests until now, but they are people who hate our country and will be dealt with very strongly, he said, indicating a policy of taking strict measures against the protests.

U.S. Secretary of Defense: “Deployment of National Guard and Marines is justified.” On the 10th, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth attended a congressional hearing and stated, “As a federal law enforcement agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has the right to safely carry out its duties in any state or jurisdiction within the country,” expressing his view that the crackdown on immigrants without legal status is necessary.

On top of that, we dispatched the National Guard and the Marines so that the investigators could safely carry out their duties.

I offered support because the head of the Los Angeles police said it was out of control.

The troops have received sufficient training for the missions they are to carry out locally, he said, stressing that President Trumps decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines was justified.
