Trump's Immigration Crackdown Clashes With Right to Due Process
El Paso immigration judge Michael S. Pleters was incredulous. He had expected to hear a request from Henrry Albornoz Quintero for political asylum in the U.S., but though the Venezuelan had been held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he was absent the day of his April hearing.
'He's disappeared? What happened?' the judge asked.

Newsom says Trump deploying another 2,000 National Guard troops to LA
The Trump administration is deploying another 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles, adding to the initial 2,000 already ordered to the city over the weekend, California Gov. Gavin Newson announced Monday. 'I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A.,' he posted to X. Gavin contends that the first 2,000 have been given no food or water and that only approximately 300 have been deployed in the city. 'The rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders,' Newsom wrote. 'This isn't about public safety. It's about stroking a dangerous President's ego,' he added. 'This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.' The revelation comes after the Trump administration over the weekend deployed 2,000 Guard troops to Los Angeles over the weekend amid ongoing protests against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The administration ratcheted up tensions on Monday when it ordered the U.S. military to deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal personnel and resources, further increasing military presence in the city. Newsom has called that deployment 'un-American.' 'U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy,' Newsom posted to X. 'They are heroes. They shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President.' Newsom also accused President Trump of using the National Guard 'to manufacture a crisis,' after protests. The Trump administration's deployment of the California National Guard has prompted a lawsuit from California's attorney general, which called it an unprecedented power grab that exceeds his authority.

Columbus City Councilmember Barroso de Padilla denounces ICE cruelty, promises to protest
As protesters in California continue to clash with law enforcement over Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, Columbus City Councilmember Lourdes Barroso de Padilla denounced the federal government's immigration crackdown and commended peaceful protesters. "I stand in solidarity with brave individuals protesting in Los Angeles against the cruel and inhuman actions of ICE," Barroso De Padilla said. She made the comments from the dais at the beginning of the Columbus City Council meeting on June 9 while wearing a T-shirt touting that she is the daughter of immigrants. Born in Columbus, Barroso De Padilla is a first-generation Cuban-American. Barroso De Padilla told The Dispatch ahead of the meeting that she plans to attend a protest planned for 6 p.m. on June 10 in front of City Hall. Several pro-immigrant and left-leaning groups are planning the "ICE Out!" protest, including 50501, the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, the Party for Socialism and Liberation Columbus, the La Raza Movement, and the Columbus Democratic Socialists of America. Related: As LA protests erupt, multiple demonstrations planned in Columbus this week "These protests are a reflection of the pain and outrage felt by communities across the country who have been torn apart by unjust immigration policies," Barroso de Padilla said. "These protests are not just about opposition. They are a call to action for leaders at every level to defend immigrant rights, to invest in communities rather than criminalize them and to build a system that treats all people with compassion and respect." Barroso de Padilla told The Dispatch ahead of the council meeting that President Donald Trump's administration committed to deporting criminals, and the federal government has overreached.

LA immigration protests live updates: Newsom says Trump deploying 2,000 more National Guard troops
3:10 Tensions are escalating in Los Angeles after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement gripped the city on Sunday, with demonstrators clashing with law enforcement and setting vehicles on fire downtown. President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to "address the lawlessness," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California's sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard. 13 Updates 1:20 PM EDT Trump says would be 'great thing' if Homan arrests Newsom: 'I would do it' President Donald Trump said Monday he thinks it would be a "great thing" if border czar Tom Homan arrests California Gov. Gavin Newsom. "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great," Trump said as he arrived at the White House from Camp David. "Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing." Newsom responded on social media, writing, "The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation -- this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism." Trump called the protesters "professional agitators" and "insurrectionists, bad people." "They should be in jail," Trump said at the White House. Ahead of his arrival at the White House, Trump on social media stood by his decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles. He also argued that Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass were not grateful enough for his assistance, despite both officials stating that Trump's move escalated the violence. Trump wrote, "The very incompetent 'Governor,' Gavin Newscum, and 'Mayor,' Karen Bass, should be saying, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'" The city manager of Glendale, California, is terminating a contract with the Department of Homeland Security that required the Glendale Police Department to house some immigration detainees at its facility, according to a statement on the city website. Several law enforcement agencies across the country have similar contracts with DHS, which are limited in scope and do not require local law enforcement to help bring undocumented immigrants into custody. The press release does not mention the Los Angeles protests but acknowledges that the contract "has become divisive" and that the decision to terminate it "was not made lightly." "Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the City has upheld, the City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract -- no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good -- has become divisive," the statement said. "And while opinions on this issue may vary -- the decision to terminate this contract is not politically driven. It is rooted in what this City stands for -- public safety, local accountability, and trust." -ABC News' Armando Garcia Rep. Linda Sanchez, the House Democrat representing the Los Angeles area experiencing the unrest, is condemning the ICE raids and blaming President Donald Trump for enforcing a "cruel and broken immigration system." ICE's presence "does not make our neighborhoods safer. Instead, they are tearing families apart, traumatizing children and undermining trust with our local officials and law enforcement," Sanchez said in a statement. "The Trump administration's raids serve no purpose other than to stoke fear and enforce a cruel and broken immigration system." Sanchez added that she's working to learn whether any of the ICE detentions were unlawful. -ABC News' John Parkinson Trump administration border czar Tom Homan refuted claims that he was going to arrest Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, telling Fox News that an interview from this weekend was taken out of context. "The reporter asked about, 'Could Governor, Governor Newsom, or Mayor Bass, be arrested?' I said, 'Well, no one's above the law, if they cross the line and commit a crime. Absolutely they can,'" Homan explained. "So there was no discussion about arresting Newsom." Homan asserted that he was speaking broadly that if anyone "crosses the line," they will be prosecuted. "You can protest. You got your First Amendment rights. But when you cross that line, you put hands on an ICE officer, or you destroy property, or ICE says that you're impeding law enforcement … that's a crime, and that the Trump administration is not going to tolerate," he said. President Donald Trump offered similar comments on Sunday, saying if California officials "stand in the way of law and order, yeah, they will face charges." -ABC News' Lalee Ibssa
