This may be a bit heavy-handed, but it is done for a reason. Trump wants to use "lawlessness" as an excuse to send troops in.
By implementing this curfew and making these arrests, the LAPD can demonstrate that it has the situation under control, and there is no need for the Feds to get involved. If California's lawsuit against the Feds ends up working, and the court finds the troop deployment unlawful, this curfew enforcement might very well be the reason.
He even declared it an invasion of "military-aged men" at the time. He did that right around the time that the Supreme Court held that Trump couldn't be held off the ballot for formenting insurrection.
I am confident that if that ruling went the other way, Abbot would have declared an invasion was in progress, that Democrats were aiding it, and thrown Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and every single Democrat off the ballot in Texas.
TACO trucks, even
Since when does Trump listen to scholars?
Trump won't need to send them, Abbott would gladly send the Texas National Guard there himself
My biggest issue is with how AI is being marketed, particularly by Apple. Every single Apple Intelligence commercial is about a mediocre person who is not up to the task in front of them, but asks their iPhone for help and ends up skating by. Their families are happy, their co-workers are impressed, and they learn nothing about how to handle the task on their own the next time except that their phone bailed their lame ass out.
It seems to be a reflection of our current political climate, though, where expertise is ignored, competence is scorned, and everyone is out for themselves.
Most trades now are done by bots looking at ticker symbols, they don't need human intervention. The human race can vanish from the Earth and the bots will keep trading as long as the datacenters have power.
NYT has some video of some troops guarding the "Metropolitan Detention Center", so we have proof of at least the seven troops pictured.
