More Than 100 People Arrested as Immigration Protests Continue in L.A.
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." California residents are fighting back at President Donald Trump's agenda of division and harsh immigration policies. On Sunday, protests against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement spread across downtown Los Angeles, with demonstrators setting vehicles on fire, pulling out flags from their home countries, and clashing with law enforcement. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to 'address the lawlessness,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. And more than 100 people were arrested on Monday night. 'What we're seeing downtown is just horrible, but you know that the majority of people that attended the protest this afternoon were peaceful,' City of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told ABC News' KABC station. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, with Newsom writing on X that Trump's 'illegal takeover' of the California National Guard has 'escalated chaos and violence in L.A.' Bass, L.A.'s mayor, blamed Trump's immigration raids in the city for creating fear that has led to this unrest. 'I am hopeful that the federal government will hear our plea: Stop the raids. This is creating fear and chaos in our city, and it is unnecessary,' Bass said. Rep. Linda Sanchez, an L.A. House Democrat agrees. She said in a statement that the raids are creating a 'cruel and broken immigration system.' Bass added: 'I can't emphasize enough the level of fear and terror that is in Angelenos right now, not knowing if tomorrow or tonight it might be where they live, it might be their workplace, should you send your kids to school, should you go to work.' The Los Angeles Police Department announced on Monday that the city is going on 'Tactical Alert,' and 'All uniformed personnel are to remain on duty.'

Tesla protesters claim a victory as Elon Musk leaves Trump's side
Advertisement 'That first one on Feb. 15 was me and like 50 people,' Donovan said. 'And then the next week it was a hundred more people and then a hundred more after that, and it's just grown.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Tesla Takedown has since expanded into an international movement, staging demonstrations at Tesla factories, showrooms and other locations in countries including Australia, Britain, France and Germany as well as across the United States. The campaign's U.S. growth has been fueled in large part by anger over Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency, which has slashed government spending and dismissed tens of thousands of federal workers while gaining access to sensitive personal data. Musk departed the administration after his involvement in politics hurt his companies, especially Tesla. Sales of the company's cars have tumbled since Trump took office and the start of protests against the company. Advertisement David S. Meyer, a sociology professor at the University of California, Irvine, who studies corporate protest movements, said the anti-Tesla movement had been surprisingly effective. 'Most corporate boycotts and corporate actions don't work and don't last,' he said. 'They're a blip and fade away.' The Tesla protests, however, 'gave people something to do to express their dissatisfaction with Trump in general and DOGE in particular, and made Musk's participation in those a liability for Tesla.' Tesla and Musk did not respond to requests for comment. A White House spokesperson said the protests were not the reason Musk had stepped away from his government role. 'He had to go back to his companies,' the spokesperson said. The challenge for Donovan, whose academic research focuses on misinformation, and the other activists is keeping their movement going now that Musk appears to be pulling back from politics. Alice Hu, a political activist who has organized protests at Tesla locations in New York, said organizers were determined to continue, drawing on people's distress over Trump's policies and Musk's support of right-wing causes. 'We want to apply as much pressure as possible to Elon Musk himself,' Hu said. 'We want to send a message to the Trump regime that there is a mass movement and that people are watching, and there will be consequences for what they are doing to our government.' The group is planning around 50 protests for June 28 -- Musk's birthday -- according to its website. Donovan said she hoped the protests would expand beyond picketing in front of Tesla locations. On a recent conference call that drew several hundred participants, organizers laid out plans to begin urging city and state governments to sell their Tesla stock and to stop doing business with Musk's other businesses including Starlink, the satellite communications service. Advertisement Donovan has firsthand experience with heated policy and political debates. Before joining Boston University, she was the research director at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University. After leaving the center in 2023, she filed a complaint to Harvard's president contending that she was let go because of pressure from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, which was a subject of her research and has financial ties to the university. In a statement, a spokesperson for Harvard said Donovan's allegations of unfair treatment and donor interference were 'false.' Meta declined to comment. Hu has political experience as well. A graduate of Columbia University, she founded a climate activist group, Planet Over Profit, that held demonstrations targeting Citi last year. A handful of celebrities have supported the Tesla Takedown protests. Actors Alex Winter and John Cusack have participated in organizing calls. Winter contacted Donovan early on and offered to create a Tesla Takedown website. He declined to comment for this article. In April, Tesla reported that its profit fell 71% in the first three months of the year after it sold 15% fewer cars compared with a year earlier. Many Tesla owners are selling or trading their cars in, and prices of used Teslas have fallen sharply. In early April, Tesla's stock price was down by around 54% from a December high, although it has regained much of that ground in recent weeks and is now down 29%. Advertisement In an April conference call to discuss Tesla earnings, Musk addressed the demonstrations, saying, without evidence, that the protesters were paid. 'They're obviously not going to admit that the reason that they're protesting is because they're receiving fraudulent money or that they're the recipients of wasteful largess,' he said. Hu and Donovan said they were not paid or funded by anyone to protest against Tesla. In March, Trump defended Musk and Tesla at a White House event in which he looked over a display of five different Tesla models and said he would buy one of them, a Model S luxury sedan. 'I think he's been treated very unfairly by a very small group of people,' Trump said. 'And I just want people to know that he can't be penalized for being a patriot.' One challenge for the protest movement is preventing it from becoming linked to recent acts of vandalism against Tesla. The company's cars, dealerships and chargers have been spray-painted, set on fire and damaged in other ways around the world. Musk and Trump have described these incidents as the work of 'terrorists.' The White House spokesperson said the Justice Department was investigating the vandalism. Donovan and Hu say they urge protesters to refrain from violence and demonstrate peacefully. But the posters and signs some demonstrators have displayed at Tesla Takedown events often take an aggressive tone. At one March demonstration in lower Manhattan, a line of protesters strode down the street toward a Tesla dealership, holding a large banner with the words, 'Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy,' painted against flames on a white background. In Germany protesters recently projected images and videos on the walls of Tesla's plant outside Berlin. They showed Musk making a Nazi-like, stiff-armed salute along with slogans like 'Heil Tesla.' Advertisement While the protests were originally aimed at Musk and Tesla, many events have started attracting people who see them as a way to demonstrate their opposition to other administration initiatives. At a recent demonstration at the Tesla store in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Beth Ann Thorrez was dressed in a penguin suit -- a poke at the Trump tariffs levied against countries around the world, including one uninhabited island populated largely by penguins. Several protesters said they would speak only on the condition of anonymity, saying they feared attacks from supporters of Trump and Musk, or punitive actions by the federal government. Donovan said death threats arrive in her email inbox and social media accounts almost every day. But she finds encouragement and resolve, she said, in how the demonstrations have grown. The events in Boston where Donovan is often present typically draw hundreds of participants and have taken on a carnival atmosphere. A marching band provided entertainment at one recent gathering; a chorus sang at another. 'A lot of people who are not incredibly political in their daily lives are coming out and joining,' she said. 'You see a lot of adults, grandparents, kids. I'm energized by it.' This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

The Mysterious Disappearance and Lingering Legacy of Michael Rockefeller
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." More than 1,800 works from five continents are showcased in the reimagined Michael C. Rockefeller Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is set to reopen on May 31 following a multiyear renovation. Among them are pieces that the late Rockefeller personally collected from Dutch New Guinea 64 years ago, when he was 23 years old. Rockefeller, the youngest son of then-New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, never returned from that trip to a continent 9,000 miles away. Michael Rockefeller disappeared on Nov. 19, 1961, after swimming away from his overturned catamaran several miles off the coast of New Guinea, seeking help for himself and an anthropologist companion. Land was visible but far away—it could have been as far as 10 miles. Rockefeller's last words to that friend were 'I think I can make it.' After an intense search by multiple governments joined by thousands of people, not a trace of Rockefeller was found. On Feb. 2, 1964, a Westchester County judge declared Michael Rockefeller 'died by drowning … while on exploration off the coast of Dutch New Guinea.' That conclusion has been questioned ever since, with theories ranging from Rockefeller being eaten by sharks or crocodiles, willfully escaping from Western society to live in New Guinea, being captured and held prisoner by indigenous tribes, and being murdered and even consumed by tribes that practice headhunting and cannibalism because of a grievance against Dutch police. The questions about Rockefeller's fate have not died away but seem to be growing ever-louder, fueling an army of podcast episodes, YouTube videos, documentaries, and a New York Times bestseller, Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller's Tragic Quest, by journalist Carl Hoffman. For some, the disappearance without a trace of a handsome young man with a famous last name has become a nostalgic scandal in our modern era of true crime documentaries and Internet sleuthing. In the photos that survive of Rockefeller in New Guinea, he looks as if he's mesmerized by his surroundings, lending a sense of foreboding to the images. He was 'routinely described as kind, gentle, hardworking, and without pretense,' Hoffman wrote in Savage Harvest. However, being so young and coming from one of America's richest families may have not equipped Rockefeller with the perception and caution needed in a place that could be dangerous. When Rockefeller traveled among New Guinea's Asmat people, seeking objects to acquire for his father's new museum of then-called 'primitive art' near the Museum of Modern Art, 'he seemed unconscious of his own role in distorting the local economy and disrupting village ceremony, or of the contradictory nature of his entire enterprise. Here was the heir to one of the largest fortunes on earth plundering sacred objects for pennies—the most privileged person on earth dabbling in the world of the most marginalized,' Hoffman wrote in Savage Harvest. In a recent interview, Hoffman says, 'The legacy of Michael Rockefeller is a conversation we can have about the collecting of indigenous art. We can use his story to talk about him and about the practices of collecting art now that we know better' than in 1961. Michael Rockefeller was raised in New York City. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and graduated cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in history and economics. But art always called to him. Michael was 'the most purely aesthetic member of the family,' according to The Rockefellers, an American Dynasty, by Peter Collier and David Horowitz. He showed enthusiasm about art from a young age, which was a tradition in the Rockefeller family. Nelson Rockefeller's mother, Abby Aldrich, was the driving force behind the founding of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. 'On his honeymoon, Nelson collected the first object (a Sumatran knife handle in the shape of a shrunken head) in what would become the best primitive art collection in the country,' according to The Rockefellers. At the age of 31, Nelson was the president of MoMA. As a child, Michael enjoyed accompanying his father on weekend art dealer visits and being around great works of art. He wanted to study architecture but was pressured to major in economics, according to books about the Rockefellers. After a six-month stint in the U.S. Army Reserve, Michael heard about an exciting opportunity: an expedition by the Film Study Center at Harvard's Peabody Museum. A group of anthropologists and a film crew were planning to study tribes in the Baliem Valley in Dutch New Guinea 'untouched by Western culture' in order 'to step back into the Stone Age.' Michael was hired as a sound man and photographer for the film. 'He had a great eye for beauty and craftmanship,' Hoffman says. Michael was transformed by the trip, taking many photographs and writing letters that reflected his fascination. He was particularly drawn to the Asmat tribe in the coastal area of New Guinea, writing, 'The Asmat is filled with a kind of tragedy. For many of the villages have reached that point where they are beginning to doubt their own culture and crave things western.' Michael deeply wanted to understand and honor these cultures. The Asmat were famous for their elaborate woodcarvings, particularly ancestor poles (called bisj poles) and spirit masks. However, the Asmat also carried a reputation for headhunting, which was embedded in their spiritual beliefs and complex rituals of revenge against rivals. While the Dutch later assured the Rockefellers that headhunting had been eradicated in the area, many authorities agree it was still going on in the 1960s. Michael flew home to New York after the Peabody film was finished and he had completed his subsequent trip to see the Asmat. In the last weeks of his trip, he'd purchased a number of bisj poles and some shields. According to Hoffman's reporting, Rockefeller paid for the Asmat people's work with tobacco, axes, fishing lines, and hooks. While back in New York, his parents announced a decision to divorce, which upset all the children. Michael decided to return to New Guinea as soon as possible in order to collect the art of the Asmat. According to some sources, he was determined to turn away from a finance career and seek a graduate degree in anthropology. When Michael went to New Guinea for his second trip, he bartered for poles, canoes, drums, shields, and other carved objects—hundreds of objects. Rockefeller was traveling among the Asmat communities when rough waves overturned his catamaran and, after 24 hours clinging to it, he decided to swim to shore, assuring his anthropologist friend he was a strong swimmer. Michael Rockefeller had a twin sister, Mary, who accompanied their father Nelson to fly to New Guinea after Michael was reported missing. She wrote in her book, When Grief Calls Forth the Healing: A Memoir of Losing a Twin, 'All the evidence, based on the strong offshore currents, the high seasonal tides, and the turbulent outgoing waters, as well as the calculations that Michael was approximately 10 miles from shore when he began to swim, supports the prevailing theory that he drowned before he was able to reach land.' No conclusive evidence of another fate besides drowning has ever been introduced to a legal authority. However, following Michael's disappearance, rumors began to spread of a killing and were collected by the Dutch priests who lived among the Asmat as missionaries. In his book, Hoffman, who traveled to the Asmat region twice and learned the Indonesian language spoken there, investigated these persistent rumors. He uncovered some of the initial reports made to Dutch officials and, to immerse himself in the community, briefly lived in the home of a man believed to be related to a member of the group that may have killed Michael. One theory is that Michael was killed not because of personal animosity toward him but because he, as a white man, represented white authority. Five Asmat men were shot in a Dutch police altercation several years earlier. 'It was a struggle between the powerful and the conquered,' Hoffman says. Rockefeller was caught among colliding forces, Hoffman believes. While trying to honor the Asmat, Michael's collecting reflected 'colonialism and the acquisition of the treasures of the conquered.' It's beyond debate that Michael Rockefeller was drawn to the beauty, complexity, and mystery of the bisj poles. He wrote that the poles showed 'a revenge figure …. Whose placement usually preceded a headhunt in former days. The figures represented people who have been headhunted and will be avenged.' In the reimagined Michael C. Rockefeller wing, visitors will see those Asmat woodcarvings and soaring poles, illuminated by filtered daylight from Central Park through a custom-designed, state-of-the-art sloped glass wall. The wing's galleries are devoted to three major collections: the Arts of Africa, the Ancient Americas, and Oceania. Among the monumental statues and exquisite metalwork displayed today, objects that span five continents and hundreds of cultures, the art of the Asmat has a valued place. In 1962, when Rockefeller's collected objects were first shown in New York and people could see the bisj poles, drums, shields, and ancestor figures, the New York Times said it was "a collection that has no counterpart on this continent." Art is not Rockefeller's only legacy. In 1965, his family created a memorial fellowship at Harvard. The fellowship enables recipients to "seek, as Michael did, a deeper understanding of our common human experience and their part in it, through the respectful exploration of a different culture." Since then, more than 200 Rockefeller Fellows have traversed the globe. Michael Rockefeller's life was cut tragically short. He left footprints that can be seen, and shared, many decades later.
