Democratic senators are increasingly alarmed about President Trump's potential military deployments in response to immigration enforcement in large Democratic cities. His recent call for expanded deportation efforts raised concerns that military action could be used against civilians, notably after the National Guard's controversial deployment during protests in Los Angeles. Senators like Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff emphasize the risks of this trend, warning it undermines local authority and could heighten tensions in communities already strained by immigration policies, indicating a partisan motive behind targeting specific cities.
"If he can deploy the Marines to Los Angeles without justification, he can deploy them to your state, too," said California Sen. Alex Padilla.
"It's only going to inflame matters worse," Schiff told NOTUS. "To target just Democratic cities also has a terrible partisan cast to it."
