President Trump's recent orders to deploy the National Guard and military against protesters in Los Angeles are seen as an intimidation tactic, coinciding with his military parade in Washington, D.C. Democrats assert this reflects a troubling shift towards authoritarianism as protests against his administration swell nationwide. The more insidious aspect of this power consolidation is the expanding surveillance state justified under the guise of mass deportation, where legal measures initially targeting immigrants may soon affect broader groups, as highlighted by experts.
"I have all of you on camera. I'm going to come to your house." This line from a police helicopter during a Los Angeles protest underscores the increasing surveillance and intimidation tactics used against demonstrators.
Matthew Guariglia stated, "The idea that this is something that just affects immigrants is wholly untrue. Immigrants are the first target; it is a permission structure..." showing the broader implications of current policies.
