With regards to the No Kings protests, Gar\u010devi\u0107 highlighted that more than five million people across the rural and urban areas of the country showed up to oppose Trump\u2019s pro-authoritarian leadership style, especially to express disapproval over his controversial deportation tactics involving unwarranted raids by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gar\u010devi\u0107 also noted that the military parade honoring the U.S. Army\u2019s 250th anniversary was purposefully organized on June 14 which happens to be President Trump\u2019s birthday. According to him, this move mimics the king\u2019s parades or similar pageantries that are typically arranged to appease autocratic leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The professor also commented on protests in Los Angeles, emphasizing the National Guard\u2019s deployment. He mentioned that Trump is targeting specific cities and areas that practice <\/span>sanctuary jurisdiction<\/span><\/i>. In other words, constituencies exhibiting \u201cleftist\u201d tendencies. By politicizing and securitizing immigration crisis, Garvevic asserts that the Trump administration is treating law-abiding immigrants as dangerous criminal aliens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
