Overview

• A federal judge in San Francisco ruled Thursday that President Trump’s unilateral deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles violated the Tenth Amendment, but the administration has appealed and kept thousands of Guard troops and some 700 active-duty Marines in place.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the militarized response even after federal agents forcibly removed, pinned to the ground, and handcuffed Senator Alex Padilla during her Los Angeles press conference.
• Lawmakers from both parties, including Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and Democratic leaders such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, condemned Padilla’s treatment and have called for a bipartisan investigation into federal immigration enforcement.
• Governor Gavin Newsom sued the administration over the troop mobilization, accusing President Trump of abusing executive power and triggering a constitutional clash between state and federal authority.
• Organizers have scheduled nearly 2,000 protests nationwide, many timed to coincide with Trump’s military parade, reflecting growing public opposition to the administration’s aggressive immigration tactics.
