From Washington Examiner:
While Democratic city officials in Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco push back against federal intervention, the Justice Department is rapidly filing federal charges and escalating prosecutions with support from the National Guard and Marines.
“This is a very, very different response [from 2020], in my opinion — probably because Trump doesn’t want a repeat of what happened last time,” said Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor based in Los Angeles who has seen the protests first-hand.
“He’s drawn a firmer line and taken a much harsher stance on immigration. You didn’t have governors litigating against the president back then like you do now,” Rahmani said.
He was referring to Gov. Gavin ‘s (D-CA) lawsuit against Trump, contesting the way he is using the National Guard.
“We’re going to continue doing our job… Yesterday we had 118 arrests.
You can protest all you want, you got your First Amendment rights.
But if you cross that line of impediment, where you’re putting hands on officers or destroying property, you WILL be prosecuted.” pic.twitter.com/OPOoCCShYd
