Donald Trump's 'terrifying' order as National Guard descend on LA amid clashes
Donald Trump has called for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles, with the troops soon descending on the city as violent clashes continue to break out President Donald Trump issued a chilling command as tensions escalated in Los Angeles, posting on his Truth Social page that things were "looking really bad" in the city. The 47th POTUS's remarks have sparked outrage from former Vice President Kamala Harris and political commentators who accuse him of inciting fear amid ongoing protests. As clashes between protesters and ICE agents intensify, Trump has instructed National Guard troops to intervene in LA, prompting California Governor Gavin Newsom to brand him a "stone cold liar." Trump's alarming call to action was made clear when he took to Truth Social. His comments have been widely criticised. He wrote: "Looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!" He then doubled down with another post demanding: "ARREST THE PEOPLE IN FACE MASKS, NOW!" Former Vice President Harris has slammed the decision to deploy the National Guard, releasing a statement that criticises Trump's "dangerous escalation" and expresses her dismay at the unrest in her hometown. Harris stated: "Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos." Harris slammed the "recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation," as "part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division." She concluded her statement by asserting that the president was "stoking fear". Social media reactions to Harris were mixed, with one supporter enthusing: "If you were our PRESIDENT, we would be at peace right now! The future wouldn't be so scary." However, a critic responded: "This is why you and the party you represent lost. Keep 'em coming. We don't mind taking the midterms." Amid tensions, California Governor Gavin Newsom implored Vice President J.D. Vance to stop kindling unrest while Trump and Vance commended the National Guard for their efforts, despite their absence from the scene. Governor Newsom retorted on social media: "You didn't even know when your own National Guard was deployed on the ground. Stop fanning the flames." He pledged to arrest and prosecute "bad actors" but vowed to shield the "many, many peaceful protestors" as they exercise a "fundamental right", stressing: "But Donald Trump needs to pull back. He needs to stand down." Newson pointedly placed responsibility, saying: "Donald Trump is inflaming these conditions. This is Donald. Trump's problem right now. And if he can't solve it, we will." The National Guard and Donald Trump are facing a fierce backlash from the public, with one person taking to X to express their anger, writing: "Donald Trump is a weak leader. He does not know how to govern. Little child boy."

Trump's new travel ban takes effect as tensions escalate over immigration enforcement
President Donald Trump 's new ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries took effect Monday amid rising tension over the president's escalating campaign of immigration enforcement. The new proclamation, which Trump signed last week, applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It also imposes heightened restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela who are outside the U.S. and don't hold a valid visa. The new ban does not revoke visas previously issued to people from countries on the list, according to guidance issued Friday to all U.S. diplomatic missions. However, unless an applicant meets narrow criteria for an exemption to the ban, his or her application will be rejected starting Monday. Travelers with previously issued visas should still be able to enter the U.S. even after the ban takes effect. During Trump's first term, a hastily written executive order ordering the denial of entry to citizens of mainly Muslim countries created chaos at numerous airports and other ports of entry, prompting successful legal challenges and major revisions to the policy. In the hours after the new ban took effect, no disruptions were immediately discernible at Los Angeles International Airport. And passengers appeared to move steadily through an international arrival area at Miami International Airport, where Magda Moreno and her husband flew home Monday from Cuba. 'Everything was normal," said Moreno, a Cuban American who had traveled to the Caribbean island nation to visit family. "They only asked me where I was coming from and how many days I was in Cuba.' Asked about the new travel restrictions for Cubans, Moreno, a U.S. citizen, said: 'It is difficult not being able to bring the family and for them not being able to enter into the U.S.' Haitian-American Elvanise Louis-Juste, who was at the airport earlier Sunday in Newark, New Jersey, awaiting a flight to her home state of Florida, said many Haitians wanting to come to the U.S. are simply seeking to escape violence and unrest. 'I have family in Haiti, so it's pretty upsetting to see and hear,' Louis-Juste, 23, said of the travel ban. 'I don't think it's a good thing. I think it's very upsetting.' Many immigration experts say the new ban is more carefully crafted and appears designed to beat court challenges that hampered the first by focusing on the visa application process. Trump said this time that some countries had 'deficient' screening for passports and other public documents or have historically refused to take back their own citizens. He relied extensively on an annual Homeland Security report of people who remain in the U.S. after their visas expired. Measuring overstay rates has challenged experts for decades, but the government has made a limited attempt annually since 2016. Trump's proclamation cites overstay rates for eight of the 12 banned countries. Trump also tied the new ban to a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, saying it underscored the dangers posed by some visitors who overstay visas. U.S. officials say the man charged in the attack overstayed a tourist visa. He is from Egypt, a country that is not on Trump's restricted list. The ban was quickly denounced by groups that provide aid and resettlement help to refugees. 'This policy is not about national security — it is about sowing division and vilifying communities that are seeking safety and opportunity in the United States,' said Abby Maxman, president of Oxfam America, a nonprofit international relief organization. The inclusion of Afghanistan angered some supporters who have worked to resettle its people. The ban does make exceptions for Afghans on Special Immigrant Visas, generally people who worked most closely with the U.S. government during the two-decade-long war there. Afghanistan had been one of the largest sources of resettled refugees, with about 14,000 arrivals in a 12-month period through September 2024. Trump suspended refugee resettlement his first day in office.
