Trump requests National Security Council readiness in situation room - Fox News

U.S. President Donald Trump has requested the National Security Council to be ready for a meeting in the Situation Room on Friday morning, according to the White House [1]. This comes amid ongoing national security concerns and a recent surge in immigration-related conflicts across the United States.

The meeting is expected to address the current immigration crisis, which has seen federal law enforcement agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), target illegal immigration sites in California and other states. The conflict has led to protests and clashes between federal agents and demonstrators, with Trump deploying the National Guard and Marines to California [2].

The president's actions have sparked a constitutional crisis, with California Governor Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta filing a motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the federal government from using the state's National Guard and Defense Forces for law enforcement. However, a federal judge in California rejected the motion, further escalating tensions [2].

The immigration dispute reflects deep-rooted contradictions and power struggles within American society. Trump and his administration have taken a hardline stance on immigration, arguing that low-quality or illegal immigrants take away Americans' jobs and erode the social status of white Americans. Meanwhile, opponents argue that immigrants revitalize the economy and should not be discriminated against or expelled [2].

The conflict has also highlighted the power struggle between federal and local interests. California, the largest economic state in the U.S., has long opposed federal immigration enforcement measures and has been a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. The trade war and immigration dispute have intensified conflicts between immigrant laborers and native workers, with California businesses facing potential economic stagnation or decline if large numbers of illegal immigrants are expelled [2].

The meeting in the Situation Room is expected to provide a platform for Trump and his administration to discuss and address the ongoing immigration crisis, as well as other national security concerns. The National Security Council is responsible for advising the president on national security and defense matters, and its readiness for the meeting underscores the gravity of the current situation.
