The historical decision of President Donald Trump to federalize the California National Guard staff to face protesters in Los Angeles is little more than an acrobatics to distract public care far from his domestic expense of domestic deficit and “ creating a shiver ” in the country’s immigrant communities, said Senator Ed Markey on Monday.
“Why do they do it? They are trying to scare families,” said Markey, D-Mass.
“They try to create a cooling in all these immigrant communities. This is all that it is. And when Trump unfolds the National Guard or Federalize [Los Angeles] In a situation that the police already had under control, it is for a very simple reason. “”
“He is trying to distract America from what he really tries to do. And that only becomes the circus.” Markey said at a meeting convened by New England at the Boston Harbor Hotel. “There was never a threat … they had it under control. The governor did not ask for additional help. No president for 60 years has sent to federal troops without a governor requesting it.”
Govin Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC that he intended to sue the Republican White House on the deployment, describing -an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act. “
Trump has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize members of the Federal Service when there is “a rebellion or a danger of a rebellion against the authority of the United States Government.”
About 300 National Guard members arrived in the city over the weekend and Trump said he had authorized 2,000 members to deploy -if needed, According to Associated Press.
The movement occurs when Republicans at Capitol Hill continue to change changes in Trump’s “big bill”, which would cut hundreds of thousands of dollars from Social Security programs to subscribe tax cuts, mainly for the richest North -Americans.

The bill has wide implications for Massachusetts, said Markey.
Markey told the crowd to try to work with the Republicans, most of which represent very rural states, to avoid cuts to Medicaid, that would hurt rural hospitals.
In Massachusetts, the state’s mass health program, as Medicaid is known here, would also be affected. Republican cuts would cost the state’s healthcare system $ 1.75 million, affecting 250,000 people across the state, according to Healey’s administration.
The main state research hospitals also depend on Medicare and Medicaid’s refunds as a basis for doing other work, such as finding care care, he added.
“If you move away from Massive General and Beth Israel, the financing of Medicaid and Medicare, who were hoping to have it as a foundation, basically creates a seismic-like threat,” said Markey.
Markey also sounded alarm on Monday on the invoice language that the energy tax credits were eliminated in a version of the bill approved by the United States. If this language is allowed to get ready, it would hurt the Massachusetts wind sector, Markey said.
“And if you kill the tax reductions, also for the wind outside the sea, you have made our region depending on the sources of energy in other regions of the country, when we had the ability to find our own way for the next generation,” he said.
The Senate Republicans seek to obtain a bill finished on the Trump counter during the July 4 holidays, and only a good number of defects can be afforded under the “reconciliation” they use to pass the legislation.
“And at a time when the politics of our nation and our identity are at a crossroads, it is more important than ever for Democrats and Republicans to meet for a business plan for our entire nation,” he said.
