LA Erupts: Trump's National Guard Deployment Sparks Fierce Protests and Lawsuit
Los Angeles erupts in protest after Trump deploys National Guard without Governor Newsom's approval. Thousands took to the streets, shutting down freeways and setting vehicles ablaze. Police reported at least three officers injured and more than 50 arrests. LA Police Chief Jim McDonald called the violence "disgusting" and said his officers were overwhelmed. Governor Gavin Newsom plans to file a lawsuit against President Trump, stating the deployment was an illegal overreach of authority. "Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight," Newsom said in an interview. The deployment marks the first time a president has taken control of a state's National Guard without approval in 60 years.
