  • California National Guard deployed to Los Angeles
    
    • Governor blames Trump for inflaming situation
    • White House says protests justify passing border-security bill

LOS ANGELES, June 9 (Reuters) - California officials blamed President Donald Trump on Monday for inflaming an already tense situation in Los Angeles by sending in National Guard troops, while the White House argued the sometimes violent demonstrations justified ramping up deportation efforts even further.

Trump even suggested California Governor Gavin Newsom be arrested.

As the city faced a fourth day of protests over Trump’s immigration policies, Democrats and Republicans clashed over what has become the biggest flashpoint in the Republican administration’s aggressive efforts to deport migrants who are in the country illegally.

Earlier in the day, Newsom, viewed as a potential Democratic presidential contender in 2028, vowed to sue the federal government over its deployment of the Guard, calling it unlawful.

"This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted. He flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard," Newsom posted on X on Monday. "We’re suing him."

Returning to the White House after a night at Camp David, Trump was asked by a reporter whether his border czar, Tom Homan, should arrest Newsom. Homan has threatened to arrest anyone who obstructs immigration enforcement efforts, including the governor.

"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great," Trump replied. "Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing."

Let's be clear, Reuters. This is a clash over immigration as far as you accept the white house narrative. It's much more a clash over due process and executive overreach. You don't say someone got mugged in a clash over gun use. It's just the tool they're using to disempower you

Reuters, AP, NPR and all the other formerly credible news outlets went right starting last year and have continued to sanewash and mischaracterize trump’s actions. These news outlets aren’t grasping the harm they’re doing. I thought doing shit like cancelling my NPR membership might prove a point to them that now is not the time to buckle—we need truthful news. They’re too busy worried about engagement and their own careers to do the right thing. Journalism is dead, died this year officially. Fuck fascism—fuck orange hitler trump—fuck every single person who has ever voted for him.
