For the first time since the beginning of the anti-Ice protests on Friday, the city center of La last night was under the outcome lock. City officials said the protests were largely peaceful, but but Vandalism and looting led to the implementation of the outcome lock. Despite the objections of the state and the city, the Trump government has progressed with the use of Marines and more National Guard troops. The administration says that the Marines and the mission of the National Guard are to protect federal and employees.

• 🎧 There are reports that the National Guard ICE agents protect as they do their workBut that could bring soldiers into situations that look like police work, says Martin Kaste from NPR First up. A law known as Posse Comitatus forbids the military to act as Police in the United States. William Banks, professor at the University Act of the Syracuse University, says that the military cannot do any arrests or enforce the law. “If the crowd tries to push them through or throw stones in the face or something like that, they could protect themselves, that is the protection of the federal government,” says Banks. The National Guard has a lot of training in crowd control training, and some marines train for missions such as the evacuation of US messages that are threatened by enemy crowds.

President Trump’s approach means that some people leave the country. Top -class raids on farms, construction sites and restaurants have caused many workers to hide. According to the Ministry of Labor, more than one million workers born from abroad have left the workers from abroad in the past two months. As a result, companies that traditionally depend on employees without legal approval are considerable challenges.

• 🎧 If you look at the broad national figures, it seems as if it has no big influenceAs both construction companies and restaurants continued to add jobs last month, Scott Horsley from NPR reports. Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, says that the approach of immigration has a frightening effect when it comes to people to appear to work, but it tends to be localized. “The influence is for a week or two. But then people have to appear and work and earn money for their families,” Dietz told Horsley. The growth of the workforce born abroad in recent years has supported the US economy, but the president’s new strategy focuses on involving more local people in the workforce.

An appeal negotiation on Trump’s criminal conviction and conviction is planned for today in a federal court in Manhattan. This hearing is the latest development in the case in which disused money payments in the adult film star Stormy Daniels are involved before the 2016 elections. Last year Trump was convicted in all 34 cases to falsify annual reports in order to hide a payment to Daniels. The judge decided that because he is the president, he was not faced with prison periods or other punishments, but the conviction remains in his recording.

• 🎧 Trump’s legal team previously tried twice to bring the case to a federal court, but was unsuccessful. Kat Lonsdorf from NPR reports that the team quotes a certain law that enables federal officials to take such a step if the case is taken in office. However, it has not worked so far since the payment of the silent money in the center of the case took place before the 2016 elections when Trump was a candidate. The President’s lawyers argue that prosecutors are based on evidence in connection with Trump’s first term during the process. Rights experts say Lonsdorf that it is a long shot that this argument will work.
