Trump is ready to take extremist steps to suppress protests, reports Axios

U.S. president Donald Trump is closer than always to the 1807 uprising bill to halt protests in Los Angeles, reports Axios.

The 1807 Uprising Act is an American national law that gives the president of the United States the right to usage the armed forces in the country under exceptional circumstances, in peculiar against anti-government protests, uprisings and rebellions.

"Trump is closer than always to the uprising bill, based on the desire for unlimited power by governors, generals and another restrictions that stopped it in 2020," the publication says.

According to the portal, Trump had already broken a long-standing practice by subjugating the California National defender without the approval of the state authorities. Now, according to Axios, "openingly gives its readiness – and even its enthusiasm – to enforce law" due to the fact that on Monday the president called the protesters "residence".

The riots began on June 7, following the raid of the American Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) in downtown Los Angeles, where there was a massive operation to identify illegal immigrants. The clashes with protesters erupted due to reports of possible cuts in national funds for the state. The next day, the White home announced sending 2,000 National defender soldiers to town.

The Los Angeles region authorities subsequently stated that they had not requested assistance from the National defender and stressed that the decision to deploy it had been taken without consulting the local authorities. This was the subject of a public dispute between the Republican White home and the democratic state authorities.
