LA protests vs. federal power
Manage episode 487908315 series 3320355
On June 9, up to 700 Marines were mobilized to Los Angeles, aiding the over 2,000 National Guard troops deployed by the federal government to California without the state's consent—the first such unilateral action since 1965. This came on the heels of immigration raids targeting Latino communities, triggering unrest marked by tear gas, rubber bullets, and attacks on journalists. What's fueling this rupture in the American political fabric? Does this latest clash expose deeper fractures in the United States' domestic and democratic institutions?
