Overview

  • The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that President Trump can keep federal command over about 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines in Los Angeles.
  • Vice President JD Vance traveled to Los Angeles on Friday to tour a Federal Joint Operations Center and meet with deployed service members.
  • Vance asserted that the continued deployment is vital to deter potential outbreaks of unrest following protests over ICE workplace raids.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have vowed to continue their lawsuit against what they describe as an unlawful militarization of the city.
  • Protests triggered by early June immigration enforcement have largely subsided, leading to the lifting of a downtown curfew and a drop in related arrests.
