This threat followed Republican proposals for taxing remittances sent by immigrants to Mexico, which Sheinbaum deemed &#8220;unacceptable.&#8221; She argued that such a tax, projected to raise $26 billion over a decade, unfairly targets Mexicans living abroad. Following her statement, Los Angeles experienced violent protests, leading to actions from the Trump administration, including the deployment of National Guard troops to manage the situation. While Sheinbaum condemned the violence, she encouraged peaceful protests, indicating ongoing pressure on U.S. immigration policies. The article suggests that the dynamics of mass migration have transformed, with meaningful implications for U.S. sovereignty and political relations, as migrants are increasingly perceived as instruments of foreign influence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/arnemx\/status\/1931721420343492959?s=46\">  Arne aus den Ruthen\/ X <\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/09\/mexican-president-threatened-to-mobilize-against-u-s-two-weeks-before-l-a-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Mexican%20President%20Threatened%20To%20%E2%80%98Mobilize%E2%80%99%20Against%20U.S.%20Two%20Weeks%20Before%20L.A.%20Riots&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/09\/mexican-president-threatened-to-mobilize-against-u-s-two-weeks-before-l-a-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Mexican%20President%20Threatened%20To%20%E2%80%98Mobilize%E2%80%99%20Against%20U.S.%20Two%20Weeks%20Before%20L.A.%20Riots&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/09\/mexican-president-threatened-to-mobilize-against-u-s-two-weeks-before-l-a-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/09\/mexican-president-threatened-to-mobilize-against-u-s-two-weeks-before-l-a-riots\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Mexican%20President%20Threatened%20To%20%E2%80%98Mobilize%E2%80%99%20Against%20U.S.%20Two%20Weeks%20Before%20L.A.%20Riots&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/09\/mexican-president-threatened-to-mobilize-against-u-s-two-weeks-before-l-a-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Just weeks before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-populism-beats-progressive-populism\/\" title=\"Conservative Populism Beats Progressive Populism\">violent riots broke<\/a> out in Los Angeles in defiance of immigration enforcement, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to &ldquo;mobilize&rdquo; against the United States after Republicans sought to tax remittances to Mexico. <\/p>\n<p>One proposal in the &ldquo;big, beautiful bill&rdquo; would tax remittances sent by immigrants to their home country at 3.5 percent.

Just weeks after her vow to &ldquo;mobilize,&rdquo; chaos has erupted on American soil over immigration enforcement. Her latest call for Mexicans to remain active &mdash; but &ldquo;pacifically&rdquo; &mdash; is merely part of a continued pressure campaign.<\/p>\n<p>What we&rsquo;re witnessing is the geopolitical consequence of mass migration.
