In Los Angeles, protests against ICE immigration raids have continued for four nights, prompting President Trump to deploy hundreds of active-duty Marines and an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. This deployment is met with opposition from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who view it as an unnecessary escalation. Newsom plans to legally challenge the president's actions, fearing the military presence might intensify tensions on the streets. In another significant development, Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed all members of a vital vaccine advisory committee, raising concerns about public health decisions.
"Trump claims this latest deployment is intended to control the protests. However, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass are calling this move an unnecessary escalation."
"Federal law generally prohibits active-duty military forces from participating in domestic law enforcement unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act."
"Many people are concerned that deploying troops will escalate tensions on the streets. Sandra Martinez, a protester, expressed her worries, stating, 'They're gonna make it worse.'"
