National Guard to be deployed to LA immigration 'riots' - as Trump claims state officials 'can't do their jobs'
The National Guard will be deployed to Los Angeles after "riots" in response to immigration raids extended into a second day. California Governor Gavin Newsom confirmed that the Trump administration is deploying "2,000 soldiers" to Los Angeles after local police used tear gas, stun guns, and riot shields to push back immigration protesters in Paramount on Saturday. Demonstrations began outside the Los Angeles Federal Building in the downtown area of LA on Friday after officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids in the area. Mr Newsom warned in a post on X: "The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. That is not the way any civilized country behaves." "The guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery [from wildfires]. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust," he added in a statement. "That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions." "If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!," he wrote. Reports the guard would be deployed to LA came earlier on Saturday, from Donald Trump's border tsar Tom Homan on Fox News. At least 44 people were arrested on suspicion of immigration violations during raids on Friday, with crowds of around "1000 rioters" forming around the building before some "assaulted law enforcement officers, slashed tires, and defaced taxpayer-funded property", according to the Department of Homeland Security. On Saturday, protests spread to the city of Paramount, southeast of LA, after demonstrators spotted ICE employees in a Home Depot car park they appeared to be using as a base. Some waved Mexican flags while others were seen being detained by law enforcement officials. Roads were pictured strewn with trolleys and rubbish bins set on fire, as gas cannisters and fireworks exploded.

BREAKING NEWS Trump sends National Guard to Los Angeles amid chaos in the streets as protesters clash with ICE agents
Trump's border czar has said the National Guard is mobilizing to enter the city of Los Angeles within hours amid tense standoffs between protesters and ICE agents. 'We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor (Karen) Bass should be thanking us,' Tom Homan, President Trump's point man on border security, said on X on Saturday evening. 'We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight.' Federal agents clashed with angry protestors in the Los Angeles area for a second day Saturday, shooting flash-bang grenades into the crowd and shutting part of a freeway amid raids on undocumented migrants, reports said. The standoff took place in the suburb of Paramount, where demonstrators had gathered near a Home Depot that was being used as a staging area by federal immigration officials. They were met by federal agents in riot gear and gas masks, who lobbed flash-bang grenades and tear gas at the crowd, according to news reports and social media posts. The immigration raids are part of President Donald Trump's ongoing crackdown on undocumented immigrants. Following the latest clashes in Los Angeles, authorities vowed to prosecute offenders and warned of an escalating security presence.

Drummer of influential rock band faces sickening new charges in child pornography case
The former drummer of Canadian indie rock The New Pornographers band has been hit with more disturbing allegations in a child pornography case. Joe Seiders,44, was arrested in April after he was accused of recording an 11-year-old boy using the bathroom in a Chick-fil-A restaurant in California. Now, two more minors have come forward and slammed Seiders with more unsettling accusations. The drummer has been additionally charged with committing lewd acts with a minor by force or fear, using or coercing a minor to produce child pornography, possession of child pornography, annoying/molesting a child, and invasion of privacy. On Monday April 7 earlier this year, Seiders was accused of recording the young boy with his cell phone while he used the restroom of the Palm Desert Chick-fil-A. Then two days later, the Palm Desert Sheriff's Station received a second report at the same restaurant of a man following young boys in and out of the bathroom. When deputies arrived they found Seiders and he was arrested. After serving search warrants, the Sheriff's Office linked Seiders to both incidents alongside additional crimes, including child pornography. 'Evidence was located implicating him in the two reported incidents, along with additional crimes, including possessing child pornography,' the news release read. The New Pornographers has yet to address the new allegations against the drummer. Following Seiders' initial charges making headlines, his bandmates released a joint statement and said they have cut ties with the drummer. 'Everyone in the band is absolutely shocked, horrified, and devastated by the news of the charges against Joe Seiders — and we have immediately severed all ties with him,' they wrote in a joint Instagram post shared on Thursday. 'Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by his actions.' Seiders has been a part of the Canadian indie rock band since 2014. The group was first formed in 1997, and the current members are Neko Case, Carl Newman, John Collins, Todd Fancey and Kathryn Calder. Their former members include Destroyer frontman Dan Bejar and Grammy nominee Kurt Dahle. New Pornographers performed at Coachella in 2007 and 2011. When their longtime drummer Dahle left in 2014, he was replaced by Seiders. Seiders toured with the band and performed on their three most recent studio albums.
