00:37โขNational Guard Battles LA Streets
โจThe newspapers report on escalating confrontations in Los Angeles as National Guard troops clashed with immigration protesters, with police declaring "unlawful assembly" and deploying tear gas against demonstrators blocking the 101 freeway (ABC News, CBS, CNN, LA Times, NPR, Newsweek, AP News, HuffPost, USA Today). Trump ordered officials to "liberate Los Angeles" amid the riots, warning California officials not to interfere with immigration raids, while former VP Harris condemned the administration's response as "cruel, calculated" (The Epoch Times, HuffPost, Fox News). The deployment of approximately 2,000 National Guard troops represents a federal override of state authority, with Governor Newsom calling Trump's actions designed to create a "spectacle" rather than address legitimate security concerns (CBS, USA Today). Speaker Johnson indicated congressional follow-ups to immigration legislation are planned, suggesting the Los Angeles confrontation may prompt broader federal action (The Hill).
