'It's so stupid. Trump is trying to fix a problem nobody wants fixed'
And therin lies the problem.
Americans are protesting and rioting about Trump's immigration policies. Enforcing immigration law, rounding up and deporting illegals and those who overstay on their visas with swift justice WHICH AMERICA IS WELL KNOWN FOR but has lapsed in of recent years to the point of lawlessness by lawmakers and politicians.Now the owner is cleaning house and it's a problem. Is this the sorry state America has come too?
It's one thing to enforce immigration law, but the Trump Administration is rounding up people who have yet to overstay any visa or break any law. It got so bad that when they arrested Abrego Garcia, then deported him to the only country they were prohibited to send him by court order, then delayed when ordered to return him, and now are apparently making up charges on which to indict him.

And to your arguing that LBJ federalized the National Guard in Alabama, which you seem to think is the same thing, but from a Democrat. Firstly, Back in the 1960-70s, the US went through a switch in political party affiliation, when Republicans implemented the "Southern Strategy" appealing to Southern racists and consolidate political power for Republicans. Democrats were the conservatives back then. But also, LBJ sent the guardsmen to protect the people protesting, not to protect the government, and in Alabama at the time, the governor and police didn't want to do their job protecting people marching for civil rights. LBJ did not call the guard to arrest anybody, but just hold their line.

Whether Democrats were conservative or not back then is not the issue but the deployment of the national guards by a former president, who saw the need to use such authority in extenuating circumstances. When the protesters invaded an ICE facility they became rioters. When they continued looting, burning vehicles, throwing rocks at officers, breaking curfew and defeying police orders, destroying government property etc, criminal crimes, extenuating circumstances called for the National guards to be deployed to protect federal property and personnel and to help the LA law enforcement enforce the law. The US President, Democrat or Republican have the discretion to override a governor denial of enforcement.
