In 1962, President John F. Kennedy, Democrat, eventually sent over 30,000 federal agents and Army troops, invoking the Insurrection Act, to quell a violent segregationist uprising where white mobs attacked federal marshals on the University of Mississippi campus.
In 1963, Kennedy used federal personnel again under the Insurrection Act, this time in Alabama when Alabama’s Governor George Wallace worked against federal law which required the University of Alabama to enroll two Black students.
In 1965, Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson activated the National Guard and Army soldiers to protect a civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery from violence after state police violence was launched against the group on “Bloody Sunday.” The federal troops escorted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and thousands of marchers along the 50-mile route, forming protective cordons and ensuring the marchers were not attacked as they had been before. Johnson, in this case, like many of his predecessors, invoked the Insurrection Act, stating the attacks were an insurrection against federal authority.
In 1967, Johnson again deployed National Guard personnel, this time to one of the most destructive urban riots in U.S. History in Detroit, Michigan. In 1968, nationwide King Assassination riots erupted in over 100 cities around the country, so President Johnson activated the Insurrection Act again, dispatching thousands of federal troops in Washington D.C. alone. He also sent troops to Baltimore, Chicago, and other locations. The deployments were the broadest use of federal troops in modern American History.
A May Day celebration became violent protests in 1971, prompting President Richard Nixon to deploy federal personnel, including National Guardsmen, U.S. Marines, and Army paratroopers to Washington D.C. in an attempt to regain control of the city.
The Atlanta Prison Riot in 1987 led President Ronald Reagan to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy federal troops to assist in ending the stand-offs. George W. Bush sent the National Guard to Los Angeles during the Rodney King riots.
In 2020, President Trump deployed National Guard and federal law enforcement personnel to Washington D.C. and eleven states during the George Floyd protests and riots.
These anti-ICE protests, however, are a few notches up from the other situations. This is purposeful defiance against the federal government executing constitutionally authorized federal law across the entire country. This is violence that has been planned, coordinated, and launched by groups who have been planning the demise of America for most of the previous century.
This is Cultural Marxism coupled with a political ideology that has taken command of the Democratic Party specifically seeking to upend and usurp U.S. Law. A large portion of the American population has become out-of-their-mind radical with deep operatives pushing them along with a protective cover-fire of propaganda and hive-mind operations. The truth has been pushed aside. Reason no longer matters.
The law no longer matters. The lust for power and collapse by those seeking a Marxist revolution in America is what fuels this, and they have gotten to the point that they will attack anyone who dares to oppose them.
