Risk of an Authoritarian Turn

The ICE raids in Los Angeles and Trump’s response increasingly appear to be part of a deliberate escalation strategy. By bypassing the governor, activating the National Guard, and using rhetoric like “rebellion,” it’s clear: this is not just about immigration—it’s about power.

Three likely objectives:

• Restrict civil liberties

• Shift political dynamics ahead of the 2026 midterms

• Expand control over police and military forces

The next observable steps may include the declaration of martial law, nationwide escalation rhetoric, and attempts to undermine or delay the midterms.

What’s happening in California may not be isolated—it could be the first domino in a calculated authoritarian play.

The leaders in the Pentagon could refuse to allow this to continue. They have sworn an oath the defend the Constitution and the people of the USA against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Trump and his thugs and Cabinet are domestic enemies of the Constitution and of the majority of Americans.
