Description: Anti – immigration protests continued to engulf the US on a nationwide level, while Trump was attending the Washington military parade, celebrating and commemorating 250 years of the US Army. Massive protests erupted last week due to Trump’s enlarged illegal deportations which sparked civil unrest in various cities across the US. Los Angeles turned into a political battlefield between Governor Gavin Newsom and President Trump while they exchanged blame over Trump’s deportations and his decision to deploy members of the California National Guard and the Marines on the streets of LA. The protests were labeled as No Kings protests alluding to Trump’s overstepping of legislature surrounding his illegal deportations. The political crisis in the US persists with nationwide protests still escalating in some parts of the country.
Impact: Trump’s presidential portfolio continues to compromise his establishment’s ability to integrate reforms while not causing considerable civil unrest and public upheaval of disapproval. Handling a domestic anti – immigration crisis and a foreign war in the Middle East, Trump’s administration continues to confirm their repressive approach towards disputes and issues regardless of their type and form. Nationwide spread demonstrations still pose a significant risk towards public safety and highlight the decadent state of civil rights in the US, especially towards immigrants. Local governments despite the public criticism contributed towards deescalating the violence and destruction that encompassed the demonstrations so far in the midst of local courts challenging the legality of Trump’s immigration policies. With the US President’s focus on the Middle Eastern crisis, the civil movement all across the US is expected to continue to grow impacting public safety and widening the specter of the domestic political crisis.
