Trump for protests in Los Angeles: Immediately, arrest the men in masks!

<x)

This message, quickly distributed in American and international media, appears to refer to masked protesters who have taken to the streets of Los Angeles during recent demonstrations.

In some video footage of the protests, there are people dressed in black clothes and covered faces who have crashed into law enforcement.

Trump has been constantly critical of the protests he considers violent “” and has often called for tough measures against participants, especially when familiar symbols of anti-fascist or leftist groups are involved.

In this case, using the word “immediately” in its public order has raised concerns about possible intervention without court orders and civil liberties violations.

California State officials have not yet directly commented on the message, but California Governor Gavin Newsom has earlier warned of “provocational and illegal actions” on the part of the federal administration, following the sending of the National Guard to the state without his approval.

This is just another episode in the growing clash between the federal government and local authorities in California, at a time when political and social tensions in the United States are deepening. /Periscope/
