04:40โขCurfew Hits Downtown LA
โจThe newspapers report on Los Angeles imposing a downtown curfew as anti-ICE protests enter their fourth night, with dozens arrested in both LA and New York City (LA Times, Fox News, NY Post, USA Today). California Governor Newsom launched what sources describe as a "scorched-earth attack" on Trump, calling him a "dictator" in a livestream plagued by audio difficulties for the first half, prompting mockery from conservative outlets (Breitbart, Daily Beast, Newsweek). The military escalation continued with 700 Marines arriving to join 2,000 National Guard troops already deployed, despite Newsom filing court challenges to block the deployment (CBS, AP News). Trump addressed Fort Bragg soldiers about restoring military base names while calling the LA situation an "assault on peace," as White House officials express satisfaction with events but worry about troops becoming involved in violence (One America News, The Atlantic).
