02:05โขFederal Troops Override California Governor
โจThe newspapers report on Trump deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles over California Governor Newsom's objections, following escalating clashes between ICE agents and protesters (ABC News, Boston Globe, CBS, The Epoch Times, Fox News, LA Times, NY Post, NYTimes, The Hill, AP News, HuffPost, USA Today). The standoffs occurred at multiple locations including Home Depot in Paramount, where federal agents used tear gas and flash-bang grenades against demonstrators who threw concrete and blocked enforcement operations. Trump administration officials accused LAPD of waiting two hours to respond to what they described as a violent mob of 1,000 people, while the White House announced the federal deployment Saturday night through press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The action represents an unprecedented federal override of state authority, with Newsom opposing the National Guard deployment as immigration enforcement protests enter their second day across the Los Angeles area.
