Episode notes
LA Unrest's Limited Reach
- The LA riots are confined to a very small geographic area and aren't widespread across the city.
- The deployment of National Guard was disproportionate given the localized nature of the unrest.
Trump's Deportation & Security Plan
- Trump supports mass deportation of 10 million illegal immigrants as a budget and law enforcement priority.
- He advocates for federalizing the National Guard and potentially using the military to manage civil unrest.
Ramp Up Deportation Efforts
- Increase ICE raid numbers to speed up deportations from 3,000 to 5,000 daily.
- Double down on mass deportation efforts even if some arrests seem random or aggressive.
