The Big Ugly: Stephen Miller Uses His War on Home Depot to Invade California - emptywheel
Briefly

The article discusses President Trump's recent decision to federalize 2,000 California National Guard troops amid protests against ICE actions in blue California cities. This move is seen as an effort to exert pressure related to immigration policy while hinting at more aggressive federal intervention. Notably, it ties into broader tensions stemming from the trade war's impact on local workers and Trump's threats to cut federal funding to the state. Critics argue this reflects an authoritarian approach aligned with Stephen Miller's immigration agenda.
Trump's actions to federalize the National Guard and threaten military presence in California demonstrate escalating tensions over immigration enforcement in a politically opposing state.
This federal troop deployment is designed to exert pressure on California and illustrate the authoritarian tactics that could be employed if Miller's proposed immigration bill is passed.
