Hegseth refuses to commit to following possible court order on Marine deployment

On Thursday, the defense secretary Pete Hegseth refused to say whether the federal government would comply with a possible legal decision about the authority of the government’s authority to place the maritime Los Angeles.

In response to the questions repeated by representative Ro Khanna (D-Fremont) during a House armed services hearing, he said, “There should be no local judges who determine foreign policy or national security policy for the country”.

A federal judge in San Francisco held a hearing on Thursday to deploy California’s President Trump’s national guards in the US Marine Corps and Los Angeles.

Hegseth saved what he had bill as a expansion of the judiciary, but after the Supreme Court repeatedly pressured how to react if weighed, “We are not here to challenge the Supreme Court decision,” he said.

Representative Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara) and a testicular back and forth, Hegseth, Los Angeles, said he was not authorized for warning shooting.

The congress member said that the federal government was afraid that he was afraid that he increased the situation in Los Angeles and that he described it as a political theater and that maritime infantry was allowed to protect the federal property.

“Ice officers and police officers who have been attacked are not political theater, Hegseth replied.

After additional discussions, Carbajal called Hegseth in incompetent and şengün Shame on this country ..

Carbajal, “there are two -party congress members who want to resign,” he said. “You should only take Hell and let someone lead this department competently.”

Carbajal questioned Los Angeles on Thursday, about the Federal Command of the National Guards of the State and the Migration raids on the deployment of sailors in the region.

The Congress hearing lasted more than five hours and the unprecedented delay, which sent a budget at the Ministry of Defense, undertook numerous national security problems, including invading Russian Ukraine, border security and invading Greenland.

Republicans in the committee defended the actions of the administration on Friday.

Representative Scott Desjarlais (R-Tenn.)

Desjarlais, “Eisenhower’ın 101. Little Rock sent Johnson and Kennedy’ye, during the period of civil rights to the southern governors about the objections of the southern governors to the federalized George HW Bush, we have seen similar actions that deployed federal troops during the rebellions of 1992,” he said. “Isn’t it fair to say that it is a well -established precedent for the presidents who move when state leaders cannot apply federal laws or protect federal facilities or protect the federal facilities?”

The National Guard was sent to Los Angeles in 1992 upon the request of the state and local authorities. But Hegseth accepted the conflict of Desjarlais.

“Sir, nothing like we do on the ground was seen,” he said. “I argue that the unique is a governor and a mayor who does not want to protect the law enforcement officers.”

Representative Derek Tran (D-Orange) questioned the mayor, local law enforcement officers or governor before releasing the federal forces.

“It would be great for the governor to really try to coordinate instead of the tribune, hegset said hegseth.

Many committees said that they have never received in advance about federal migration scans in workplaces and other places, which started on Friday and caused big and sometimes fiery protests in Los Angeles city center.

“We need to increase the situation,” Tran said in an interview. Hundreds of maritime deployed in Southern California, President Trump and his administration, increases the situation by sending troops that should not be there, sending trained troops to shoot and kill ”.

Although it was largely peaceful, protests about the actions of US migration and customs inventions were ended by violence and lawlessness.

The statement before the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday was Hegseth’s third appearance this week in Capitol Hill. On Tuesday, on Wednesday, parliamentary appropriations and Senate appropriations were questioned by the sub -committee of the Committee.

On Wednesday, Hegseth insisted that the deployment of maritime in Los Angeles was legal, but he could not name the law he was allowed to. On Tuesday, the “chaos de under the term of office was announced with questions about the lack of information about defense department operations and budgets, including the National Secrets of Secrets on a Signal Group conversation, and the cost of federal deployment in Los Angeles.

“I want your plan!” Representative Rosa Delauro (D-Conn) asked. “What is your plan for the future? Can we get it on written and paper, so we know where you go? Because we have nothing today. We have Zip! Nada!”

Hegseth said the agency has details and will provide them to congress members. Pentagon labeled the Congress Member and “Why are you screaming!” Has released a video clip back and forth on X.

Since the committee controls the Pentagon budget, the hearing of Thursday was particularly remarkable. None of the republican members of the committee are from California. He did not respond more than a dozen that he wanted to focus on the hearing.

The Republicans reflected the emotions expressed by Trump, last Wednesday, when they received questions from journalists on the red carpet in Kennedy Center shortly before they participated in the “Les Miserables” performance with the first Lady Melania Trump.

“We will take laws and order in our country,” he said. “If I don’t move fast, Los Angeles would burn to the ground right now.”

“These are the radical left madness and forces you are dealing with, the wise, probably paid, many, as you know, professionals,” he added. “When you see that they chop the concrete because the bricks are caught, they cut the concrete and use it as a weapon. This is quite bad.”
