Tonight, we bring you a breaking and politically charged story from Los Angeles. In a rare and controversial decision, President Donald Trump has activated 2,000 National Guard troops to respond to widespread immigration protests—without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom. This move has triggered legal outrage and deepened divisions across the state.
Protests erupted after aggressive ICE raids led to over 100 arrests, sparking outrage in communities like Paramount and downtown L.A. While many demonstrations remained peaceful, clashes occurred, prompting federal forces to respond with riot control tactics. Critics argue the government used excessive force, especially after tear gas was deployed against peaceful protesters.
The governor condemned Trump’s actions as a dangerous overreach of federal power. Civil rights groups have echoed that sentiment, calling the deployment unconstitutional and politically motivated. Meanwhile, Homeland Security defends the decision, claiming it ensures public safety.
The situation escalated further with reports of active-duty Marines being placed on standby—a potential violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Tensions are rising, but so are calls for calm, dignity, and justice.
Democratic News TV will continue to follow this developing story closely. For now, the nation watches as Los Angeles becomes a flashpoint in the battle over immigration, protest rights, and executive authority.
I’m Shibnath. Thank you for watching. Stay safe, stay informed, and stay vigilant—because democracy depends on it.
