Details about the Marines' role in Los Angeles, where protests over immigration enforcement operations turned violent over the weekend, and when they might be deployed were not immediately available.
Trump refused to call in Troops on January 6"Now he's deploying them to LA against the governor's wishes.
As Rep. Seth Moulton said: "Kind of amazing that Trump wants to do this in LA, and it's pretty obvious, because he's always dreamed of politicizing the military."[image or embed]

This is a f u ckin' lie, you idiot cultist:
Nancy Pelosi did not have authority over the deployment of the National Guard on January 6, nor did she block or prevent the Guard from being sent to quell the riots at the U.S. Capitol.
- As Speaker of the House, Pelosi did not control the National Guard. The decision to deploy the Guard to the Capitol is made by the Capitol Police Board, which consists of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the Architect of the Capitol. The House Sergeant at Arms reports to the Speaker, but there is no evidence that Pelosi directed or prevented the Guard's deployment[2][3][4].
- The Capitol Police Board chose not to call the Guard before the attack, but did request assistance after the rioting began. The National Guard arrived several hours later[2][4].
- There is no evidence that Pelosi was informed of any request for Guard deployment before January 6 or that she rejected any such request. In fact, once the attack was underway, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell both called for military assistance, including the National Guard[2][3][4].
- Claims made by former President Trump and some Republican lawmakers that Pelosi "turned down" or blocked National Guard assistance have been repeatedly debunked by multiple fact-checks and official timelines[2][3][4].
- Newly released video footage and reporting show Pelosi expressing frustration that the Guard was not already present and questioning why security preparations were inadequate. She is seen asking, "Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?" and later stating, "I take responsibility for not having them just prepared for more," referring to her own sense of leadership responsibility, not operational control[1][3][5][6].

I don't know if they've been given unlawful orders yet
How are they unlawful? The problem is Newsom and Bass said they wouldn't help the Federal Agents protect themselves.
This enabled Trump to give orders under 12406
12406. National Guard in Federal service: call
Whenever-
(1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation;
(2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or
(3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;
the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.

Also most cases like the J6 would be file as misdemeanors had been handled via citations as has long been done for protesters inside the Capitol/Federal property who disrupt ongoing proceedings, those offenses would not have been pardoned.
But the Biden Admin. charged "A" misdemeanors in almost every case, and 5 year felony offense that only involves not promptly obeying the lawful order of a law enforcement officer during a "civil disorder" instead.
I expect Bondi to do the same no?
Correct Truth, Pete ousted those with Left leaning sympathies. Also, he's still leader of the DoD ;D
what does being Hispanic have to do with anything? Literally all of my Hispanic friends and my Hispanic wife want the illegals out of here.

Whoops!
Here we go, exactly as predicted:
When recently asked, "What is the bar for sending Marines into the Los Angeles riots?", Donald Trump responded: "The bar is what I think it is." He elaborated, "If we see danger to our country and to our citizens, I will be very, very strong in terms of law and order. It's about law and order. We'll send whatever we need to make sure there's law and order"[6].
Trump refused to specify a concrete threshold, emphasizing his personal discretion and the need to respond forcefully to protect the country and its citizens[6].
