Ireland Needs Fiscal Rule as Economic Risk Grows, Watchdog Warns
The Irish government should commit to a domestic fiscal rule so it can better plan spending as the economy enters uncertain territory, the state's fiscal watchdog warned. A global trade war stoked by US President Donald Trump is likely to have an outsized impact on Ireland, the strategic tax base for several multinational firms. Sticking to a fiscal rule would set a sustainable growth rate for spending net of tax changes, the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council said in its June fiscal assessment report.

Trump's Crackdown on L.A. Protests Contrasts With His Jan. 6 Response
When violent protests originate from the right — such as those in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, or at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — President Trump has chosen to downplay the violence or suggest the protesters have a noble cause and have been treated unfairly. But when protests originate from what he views as the political left, Mr. Trump often expresses an open desire for law enforcement and the military to harshly crack down on them. Over the weekend, Mr. Trump ordered that 2,000 National Guard troops be deployed on the streets of downtown Los Angeles to quell protests against his administration's immigration enforcement efforts. That was followed by orders on Monday to send 700 Marines to join them, and then later in the day, with an order for 2,000 additional National Guard troops. Even though the demonstrations have been largely contained to specific areas and mostly peaceful, Mr. Trump claimed on social media that the protesters were 'insurrectionist mobs' and that Los Angeles had been 'invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals.' In endorsing harsh law enforcement tactics against immigration protests, Mr. Trump is picking a political fight on ground that Republicans believe is advantageous terrain. Stephen K. Bannon, a former adviser to Mr. Trump, said on his podcast on Monday that the president's response was 'quite smart.' 'He just won a massive national election on this very topic,' Mr. Bannon said, magnifying Mr. Trump's showing in a race he won by less than 2.3 million popular votes. Mr. Bannon accused Democratic-led jurisdictions of inviting in undocumented immigrants and refusing to arrest violent protesters. 'This is why President Trump has to bring in the National Guard and federalize them,' he said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump's border czar defends decision to deploy hundreds of Marines to quell LA protests
President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan argued Monday that it was necessary to deploy hundreds of Marines to Los Angeles to quell immigration protests that are happening in the city – despite local officials saying it's unclear why they are there or what they are doing. 'Yes, it all depends on the activities of these protesters – I mean, they make the decisions. I keep hearing reports that they're rioting because President Trump sent National Guard here, it's just ridiculous,' Homan told CNN's Kaitlan Collins. 'We don't know what's going to happen tonight – it seems like at night, the crowds get bigger, the violence peaks. So, we want to be ahead of the game. We'll be well prepared for the military here to protect government property and protect officers' lives,' he said. Homan declined to say what standard the Trump administration was using to decide if mobilizing the Marines would be necessary. 'They're not reinforcing immigration law – we're doing that, we're immigration officers,' Homan said. 'Their job is protection of property and protection of our agents and their lives and their wellbeing, along with the public's wellbeing.' Over the weekend, Trump became the first president in decades to call in the National Guard without a request from a governor – doing so without invoking the Insurrection Act, the 1807 law that allows the president to deploy American soldiers to police US streets in extreme circumstances. Trump ordered the Department of Defense to deploy an additional 2,000 California National Guard members to the Los Angeles area on Monday evening, according to the Pentagon. On Monday, the administration mobilized more than 700 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California to respond to the protests in Los Angeles. Homan said that there are conversations 'every day' within the administration about deploying military domestically, but he said he has not been personally involved in conversations about invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow for the use active-duty military to quell protests. 'No – again, I'm here running a Title 8 immigration operation, I was – I'm not involved in discussions, but I do know every day a conversation happens with the leadership of DOJ, DHS, and DOD on a decision going forward,' he said. 'I think decisions on deployment of the National Guard and any other deployment of DOD is a decision being made by the White House, along with the Department of Justice, DOD – I know those calls are happening every day.' But pressed if Americans should expect to see military deployed to other US cities where protests against ICE operations pop up, the border czar said, 'I hope not.' 'I hope it's not the new normal – I hope people go out there and protest peacefully, but to attack law enforcement officers who are simply enforcing the laws that Congress enacted,' he said. 'So, if you want to hate, you want to protest, go to Congress and protest them. ICE is just doing their job.' Homan also acknowledged that Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has not done anything to warrant arrest after Trump said if he were Homan, he would have him arrested. 'Governor Newsom has not done anything to warrant an arrest in your view right now, correct?' Collins asked. 'Not at this time – absolutely not,' he said. Homan told CNN that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue operations in Los Angeles – and across the country – to enforce immigration law. 'They'll continue every day, not only in California, Los Angeles, they're gonna continue every city across the country – we have teams throughout the country that are out there looking for those in the country,' Homan said. 'We're in every city and country, and ICE is going to be out every single day and will continue to be there regardless what's happening in LA.'
