Order Will Be Restored, Los Angeles Will Be Set Free: Donald Trump
United States President Donald Trump promised that "order will be restored" and "Los Angeles will be set free". He has directed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi to "take all action necessary" to "liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion" and end the "Migrant riots". The protests erupted after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted raids across the city, arresting dozens of undocumented immigrants. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order during the demonstrations. "A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now, violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations, but these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve," Trump wrote on his 'Truth Social' account. "I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots. Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention to this matter!," he added. Earlier, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass expressed confidence in the city's ability to manage ongoing protests without the need for President Donald Trump's National Guard troops, as per CNN. "I do not believe that is called for because I am confident that LAPD [Los Angeles Police Department] and other law enforcement agencies like the sheriffs can handle things in Los Angeles," Bass said in response to a decision by President Donald Trump to send 2,000 National Guardsmen to the city. Since Bass made those comments, about 300 troops have arrived in three locations across the city, CNN reported, citing the Mayor's statement to ABC7. The Democratic mayor was also asked to respond to Trump's claim that he had to intervene because neither she nor Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom was capable of stopping the protests on their own. "I certainly reject the notion that neither the governor or I can do our jobs -- we've been in close collaboration and having said that -- I've also been in close communication and collaboration with representatives in the White House so I reject that notion and feel that we can be in charge and deal with what has happened here," she said. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom slammed the federal response, calling it "purposefully inflammatory" and warning that such deployments would erode public trust. "Donald Trump's chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America's economy," Newsom said.

They spit, we hit: Trump warns protesters as LA demonstrations turn violent
US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned protesters in Los Angeles that there would be strong consequences if they spit on police officers or soldiers. His warning came hours after he sent National Guard troops to the city in response to protests over immigration to reporters in New Jersey before boarding Air Force One, Trump defended his decision to deploy at least 2,000 National Guard members. The protests in Los Angeles began after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids..@POTUS on the LA riots: "They spit, we hit." Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) June 8, 2025advertisement"When they spit at people — you know, they spit, that's their new thing," Trump said. "They spit and worse. You know what they throw at 'em, right? And when that happens, I have a little statement: 'They spit, we hit!' And I told them — nobody's going to spit on our police officers. Nobody's gonna spit on military. Which they do as a common thing. They get up to them this far away, and then they start spitting in their faces. If that happens, they get hit very hard."PROTESTERS CLASH WITH TROOPS The protests in Los Angeles turned chaotic after a group of demonstrators marched from Mariachi Plaza to a federal immigration detention center in downtown LA. They chanted slogans like "ICE out of LA."The situation escalated when National Guard troops fired tear gas and pepper balls without giving a warning, according to reports. Videos from the scene showed clouds of tear gas filling the Los Angeles Police Department said it arrested 27 people on Saturday for not leaving the area when ordered. Police spokesperson Norma Eisenman confirmed the arrests but said she couldn't comment on whether officers used "less lethal force."POSSIBLE MILITARY ACTIONWhile US Vice President JD Vance referred to the protesters as "insurrectionists" and senior White House aide Stephen Miller described the protests as a "violent insurrection."However, Trump hasn't used the Insurrection Act -- a 1807 law that allows the president to send the US military to handle civil unrest. When asked if he planned to invoke it, Trump said, "It depends on whether there's an insurrection. You really just have to look at the site. You have to see what's happening. Last night in Los Angeles, we watched it very closely. There was a lot of violence there. It could have gotten much worse."Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth also warned that if the violence continues, active-duty troops could be sent in. "The Marines at Camp Pendleton are on high alert," he inputs from ReutersTune InMust Watch

Best stocks to buy today, as recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman
India's stock market wrapped up last week on a high, posting nearly a 1% gain thanks to positive domestic developments. Initially, caution prevailed as investors awaited the Monetary Policy Committee's (MPC) decision. However, a pleasant surprise—a 50-basis point cut in the repo rate and a staggered 100-basis point reduction in the cash reserve ratio—swiftly shifted sentiment. This led to a significant upward surge, after which the market stabilized for the rest of the day. Ultimately, the Nifty 50 index closed near its daily high at 25,003.05. Here are three stocks to buy or sell today, as recommended by Raja Venkatraman of NeoTrader for Monday, 9 June. POLYCAB: Buy CMP and dips to ₹ 6,000 | Stop: ₹ 5,950 | Target: ₹ 6,525-6,700 BORORENEW: Buy CMP and dips to ₹ 542 | Stop: ₹ 525 | Target: ₹ 615-630 DALBHARAT: Buy above ₹ 2,120 and dips to ₹ 2,090 | Stop: ₹ 2,070 | Target: ₹ 2,250-2,325 The market rally on 6 June was broad-based, with all major sectors contributing. Rate-sensitive sectors like realty, financials, and auto were the biggest beneficiaries, with other sectors also performing well. Broader market indices also extended their gains, rising between 0.8% and 1.2%. While the Nifty 50 is still in a consolidation phase, the renewed vigor in rate-sensitive sectors, especially the breakout in the banking index, has reignited hopes for a sustained upward trend. A definitive break above 25,200 on the Nifty could initiate the next leg of the rally, potentially propelling the index towards 25,600. Looking ahead, the impact of the recent rate cut is expected to continue driving market sentiment. The rate-sensitive segments, along with specific themes like railways, are likely to remain in the spotlight, with other sectors contributing in a rotational manner. Finally, after some huffing and puffing, the Nifty 50 managed to crack through the resistance at 25,000 and powered its way higher by Friday. In between, there were some intraday fulminations but the bulls managed to hold the wheel and did not allow the trend to go off the road. Matters were helped in the last week when the best efforts by the bears were held at abeyance over three successive sessions, with Doji type candle formations. When such a pattern gave way to a bullish candle starting on Monday, the stage was set for more gains. Results flow has been good for the fourth quarter, and some heavyweights came out with Street-beating numbers, which has kept the sentiment juices flowing rather nicely. In addition, activity in the mid- and small-cap segments has also been good. With the threat of the Trump tariffs now receding with no real clarity, the market has one less item to worry about. The Reserve Bank of India's policy was the turning point last week. On Friday, the RBI Governor went beyond anticipation to give a 50 basis point repo rate cut and 100 bps CRR cut to bolster the banking and financials sectors. (TradingView) Bank Nifty compared to Nifty has fared well and would give us more than fair evidence of continued bullish play to emerge next week, however on dips. Considering the pointers, one should look to buy at lower levels in the indices. The sharp rise in trends on Friday beyond the much-touted resistances at 25,000 has given us some opportunity to look for some opportunities in Nifty now. Trading has been quite challenging as the movements are happening in spurts hence it's best to trade with suitable stop loss. Applying a fair amount of discretion shall enable us to profit from the volatility that shall continue, as we are now witnessing some positive vibes against the backdrop of a pensive global scenario. POLYCAB: Buy CMP and dips to ₹ 6,000 | Stop: ₹ 5,950 | Target: ₹ 6,525-6,700 Why POLYCAB is recommended: With about 25% organized market share, Polycab leads the domestic C&W market. The company is present in both cables (65% of the sales mix) and wires (25-30% of the mix).However, Jefferies feels that the stock will not face major headwinds as it already has an established presence and the new competition will take time to impact the revenues. This has led to a double bottom formation and a gradual ascent to the top . With prices holding firm at the TS line we can consider going long.
