June 8, 2025 - Trump presidency, Los Angeles protest news
• On the ground: Police have used flash-bangs and tear gas while dispersing crowds, with some hitting and pushing protesters while making arrests, CNN witnessed. Protesters set at least two self-driving cars on fire. All of Downtown Los Angeles has been declared an unlawful assembly area. • Troop deployment: About 300 National Guardsmen are on the ground after President Donald Trump called them up to protect federal personnel and property. It's the first time a president has called in the National Guard without a state's request or consent in decades. Also prepared to deploy are 500 Marines. • Trump vs Newsom: California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over deployment of the National Guard, which he and LA Mayor Karen Bass have called inflammatory. • Why are there protests? Authorities and demonstrators have clashed for days after dozens of people were detained by immigration agents. Intelligence analysts believe protesters are motivated by several factors, including immigration raids, deployment of the National Guard, and agitators who fit profiles of 'professional rioters.'

Murder inquiry after boy, 14, stabbed in Manchester
Detectives have launched a murder inquiry after a 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death in a 'horrific incident' in north Manchester. Police say two boys, aged 14 and 16, are under arrest on suspicion of murder and a girl, 14, and woman, 37, are being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. Officers were first called to the Nevin Road area of New Moston in the city at about 5pm on Sunday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said. The 14-year-old boy was found with stab wounds and despite the efforts of the emergency services and staff from an air ambulance, he later died in hospital. Police said early investigations established the identities of possible suspects and after attending a nearby address, the woman was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. A short time later, the boys aged 14 and 16, were arrested on suspicion of murder and the teenage girl was arrested overnight for assisting an offender, GMP said. All four remain in custody for questioning. Detective Chief Inspector John Charlton of GMP said: 'This incident will have shocked and saddened the local community, and distressed anyone who witnessed it. 'We are deploying significant resources to this murder investigation, and this led to quickly identifying potential suspects. 'We are still trying to establish the full circumstances around the incident – there will be a large police presence and several scenes in place while we continue to investigate this horrific incident. 'The boy's family are being supported by our officers and we are determined to give them the answers they deserve. 'Despite making several arrests, this is still a live investigation, and we are looking for information, doorbell or dashcam footage, or eye-witness accounts from anyone who was in the area at the time quoting log 2250 of 8/6/25. 'Information can be reported to us by calling 101 or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. 'You can also use the reporting tools on our website – always call 999 in an emergency. 'We will provide updates to the family and the community as the investigation continues.'

Freeways blocked, cars on fire: LA protests against immigration raids and National Guard deployment
Update: Date: 2 min ago Title: 27 people have been arrested during Sunday's immigration protests in LA Content: A total of 27 arrests were made in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, LAPD Police Chief Jim McDonnell told reporters at a nighttime news conference. The alleged crimes include throwing a Molotov cocktail at an officer and ramming a motorbike into a police line, McDonnell said. Seventeen of the arrests on Sunday were made by the California Highway Patrol while clearing protesters from the 101 Highway, while the LAPD made 10 arrests during scuffles downtown, the police chief said. On Saturday, McDonnell said, 29 arrests were made for alleged failure to disperse. 'Our job is not to divide communities or to politicize law enforcement. Our job is simply to keep everyone safe,' McDonnell said. The chief addressed the community's 'deep fear and anxiety' emerging from recent immigration enforcement, and assured the department is 'committed to transparency, accountability, and treating every Angeleno with respect, regardless of their immigration status.' Update: Date: less than 1 min ago Title: What is the National Guard, and when are they deployed? Content: President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles on Sunday – the first time a US chief executive has used such power since 1992, when the Los Angeles riots erupted after four White police officers were acquitted in the beating of Black motorist Rodney King. What is the National Guard? It's part of the US military with a double line of command, answering to both state governors and the president. Its members are part of the primary combat reserve of the Army and the Air Force. Serving on a part-time basis, they can be deployed overseas for combat or support missions, but mostly operate in the US for domestic emergencies like natural disasters. Every state and territory (plus Washington, D.C.) has a National Guard. Any state governor or the US president can call on the Guard at any moment - setting it apart from other military branches. Previous state deployments: The National Guard has been mobilized by states for high-profile situations several times in recent years. During the pandemic, Guard members in some states helped to make face masks, field calls from concerned citizens, disinfect facilities and assembling testing kits. Following the January 7, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol, several states sent Guard members to Washington for additional security. Federal deployments: It's rare for the president to federally deploy the National Guard the way Trump did, without the request from a governor. Abraham Lincoln had mobilized troops to fight the Confederacy and later support Reconstruction, but National Guard would not evolve into today's form until the 20th century. After Lincoln, no president deployed the Guard until 1957, when they were sent ensure public order during the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. They were also federally deployed in 1967 to restore public order during the Detroit riots; in 1968 following the assassination of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; and in 1970 during the New York postal strike, according to the National Guard.
