President Trump Deploys National Guard to Los Angeles Amid Immigration Raids and Protests
President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, despite objections from California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. The move follows immigration raids in the city that led to protests and disorder. Approximately 300 National Guard members arrived in Los Angeles after the president ordered the deployment of 2,000 troops, sparking criticism from Newsom and Bass. Tom Homan, Trump’s appointed border czar, accused Newsom and Bass of creating a sanctuary for criminals and warned of potential arrests if they impeded law enforcement efforts.
Homan stated that around 150 undocumented immigrants had been detained in the last two days as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers conducted large-scale sweeps across the city. Senator Cory Booker announced that he would not accept campaign donations from Elon Musk but urged the tech mogul to get more involved in Democrats’ efforts against the GOP-backed spending bill. Senator James Lankford defended Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles, citing the need to de-escalate tensions amid protests against federal immigration raids.
President Donald Trump issued a warning of “serious consequences” if Elon Musk funds candidates to run against Republicans who support his sweeping budget bill. The president’s comments came after a public feud between Trump and Musk on social media platforms.
