Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon had a much more dramatic response, immediately calling for Elon Musk's deportation. "They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately," Bannon said in a phone interview with the New York Times.

Solana 's SOL Rebounds as Buyers Step In Above $147
SOL SOL showed renewed strength Saturday as it rebounded from a low of $147.13 to trade back above $151, despite lingering global macroeconomic headwinds. The recovery comes amid a spike in on-chain activity, with Coin Days Destroyed surging to 3.55 billion—its third-highest level this year—indicating movement of long-dormant tokens. The bounce off $147 confirmed a bullish double bottom pattern, supported by rising volume and a return to a short-term bullish channel on the 6-hour chart. Solana now faces overhead resistance near $152.85, where sellers previously stepped in, but a move above that level could open the door toward the $155–$157 zone. While Solana's network fundamentals remain strong, the broader macro environment continues to inject volatility into crypto markets, with ongoing US-China tariff disputes and rising global bond yields weighing on investor confidence. Technical Analysis Highlights SOL rallied from $147.13 to $152.94, gaining 3.95% intraday. Double bottom formed near $147.50, signaling a potential trend reversal. Resistance is developing at $152.50–$153.00, capping upward momentum. Bullish channel seen on 6-hour chart, with volume rising on green candles.

US agents, protesters clash again in Los Angeles over immigration raids
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, the Fox 11 news outlet reported. 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 US President Donald Trump's ongoing crackdown on undocumented immigrants. The Republican was elected to a second term largely on a promise to crack down hard on the entry and presence of undocumented migrants -- who he likened to "monsters" and "animals." Following the latest clashes in Los Angeles, authorities vowed to prosecute offenders and warned of an escalating security presence. "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. "We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight." FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said multiple arrests had been made following Friday's clashes. "You bring chaos, and we'll bring handcuffs. Law and order will prevail," he said on X. On Saturday, amid chants for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to get out, some protestors waved Mexican flags while others set a US flag on fire, the Los Angeles Times said. Cement blocks and overturned shopping carts served as crude roadblocks. A crowd swarmed a US Marshals Service bus exiting a nearby freeway, with authorities later closing on and off ramps to keep protesters from taking over the highway. The tense standoff came a day after masked and armed immigration agents carried out high-profile workplace raids in separate parts of Los Angeles, attracting angry crowds and setting off hours-long standoffs. "An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States," White House deputy chief of staff and anti-immigration hardliner Stephen Miller said on X, sharing a video of protesters marching Friday outside Los Angeles's federal detention center. Los Angeles, the second-most populous city in the United States, is one of the most diverse metropolises in the country. The suburb of Paramount, home to about 50,000 people, is 82 percent Hispanic or Latino, according to US Census data. acb/aha
