Trump, Newsom Clash as Los Angeles Explodes in Protests

Los Angeles erupts in protests amidst a clash between President Trump and Governor Newsom over the handling of demonstrations triggered by the President's immigration policy. The situation escalated sharply on June 10th, 2025, with hundreds of police in riot gear facing protestors for a fourth consecutive night. The federal government's unprecedented move to dispatch 700 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles, bypassing Governor Newsom's request, further inflamed tensions. "The absurdity of this cannot be understated," Newsom stated in a video address, highlighting that only 315 of the 2000 National Guard troops deployed had specific roles. One protestor, Addi, interviewed amidst the chaos, emotionally conveyed her personal stake in the protests, having been an undocumented immigrant herself. Mayor Karen Bass warned that Trump might be using Los Angeles as a "trial run" for other cities. The video concludes with the ongoing tension, raising concerns about potential future protests.
