The ultra reactionary president of the United States, Donald Trump, on 9th of June sent 2,000 troops of the National Guard and 700 gunmen of the marines to repress at maximum the demonstrators, which are taking to the streets since Saturday, against violence and kidnapping of the immigration police (ICE) against immigrants. With that the total number of the mobilized cooperated troops reached 4,700. The measure that reached to contain the people’s revolt, got out of control and the protest have generalized over at least eight big cities.
Trump has already sent 2,000 soldiers of the National Guard to Los Angeles on the 8th of June. Due to the fact that the demonstrators didn’t let themselves intimidate, the ultra-reactionary decided to send 2,000 more soldiers and 700 Marines gunmen to the city. The use of gunmen is notable, because that is the first time since 1992 that the military of the country is being used to repress the people. In that year the soldiers were sent to repress the masses, who have revolted by the against the beating of the black man Rodney King, that was made by the agents of the old State. 55 people have been killed.
A a result of the increase of violence, more than 200 people have been captured, dozens of reporters have been hit and targeted by no lethal gunshots. One reporter of the monopoly media CNN, was imprisoned arbitrarily over night while working in a reportage.
One more time the repression failed trying to stop the increasing rebellion of the masses. The demonstrators of Los Angeles continued the confrontation despite the brutality of the Yankee troops. On Tuesday the 10th of June, pictures of burning cars and a young demonstrator who wove the Flag of Mexico wearing a frontled of the People’s Liberation Front of Palestine been circulating in internet, showing that the masses of Los Angeles are continuing the protests.

Additionally, the powerful action of the Californian masses facing all kind of repression have lighted a revolt in different parts of the USA. In Texas demonstrations occurred in the main cities, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Austin. In New York, demonstration in the front of the immigrant concentration camps have radicalized themselves after police attacks that been made with flash bombs, and pepper spray. In Louisville, Kentucky a big march was organized.
The most violent protests occurred in Texas, where stand big detention and concentration camps of immigrants, on the border with Mexico. In Austin, powerful people’s demonstration united thousands of persons, who raised posters comparing the methods of kidnapping with the disappearing of persons with the one of the Gestapo, german Nazi police.
The imperialist repression was strong, with not lethal shots of shotguns and gas bombs. With all together, the demonstrators did not abandon the streets. Raising the Palestine, Mexican, Honduras and other Flags of Latin America, they passed the police blockades and armed themselves with sticks and shields made of banks and broken plates. Images show demonstrators returning with kicks gas bombs, meanwhile the agents beat up a reporter who was filming the abuses and the have robbed his professional equipment.
Now the massive protests are being organized also in Milwaukee, Denver and Chicago, with the perspective to begin at 18 o’clock, Brazilia time zone.
