US Marines to deploy to Los Angeles to help quell anti-ICE riots

A battalion of 500 U.S. Marines are mobilizing to Los Angeles to respond to anti-immigration enforcement riots, Fox News has learned. The Marines will be tasked with protecting federal property and federal personnel, according to a senior defense official, and the deployment is open-ended. The Marines will not be carrying out a law enforcement role, but it's unclear what their use of force rules are if protesters throw things or spit at them. The new deployment comes after President Donald Trump sent some 2,000 National Guardsmen to the riot-racked city over the weekend. The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California. Moments before the deployment, Trump expressed optimism that the situation in Los Angeles is improving. "I mean, I think we have it very well under control," he told reporters. "I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction." The Marine mobilization is sure to draw outcry from liberal critics: California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed suit against the Trump administration on Monday for deploying the Guard. Newsom and the California attorney general claimed Trump and Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth "trampled over" California's sovereignty by calling up the state's National Guard without Newsom's approval. Meanwhile Trump defended the decision on Monday, and added that if protesters spit in the face of guardsmen in Los Angeles, they'll "be hit harder than they have ever been hit before." "IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT," Trump wrote. "Such disrespect will not be tolerated!" Federal law typically bars the U.S. military from carrying out domestic law enforcement purposes, unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act. Newsom claimed Trump is trying to "manufacture a crisis" and that the president is "hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control." The protests began in reaction to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the City of Angels as the Trump administration moves to make good on its promise of mass deportations. Over the weekend, protests devolved into violence that left vehicles charred to a crisp and windows smashed at the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.

Democrat state rep admits she's in the US 'illegally'

Minnesota state Rep. Kaohly Vang Her admitted Monday she is in the US 'illegally' in a shocking confession that rocked the nation as riots unfolded in Los Angeles over ICE deportations. Her, a Democrat elected in 2018, was discussing illegal immigrant eligibility for public health care when she disclosed personal details about her own family. She revealed that her father misrepresented his familial relations when he filed her family's immigration paperwork decades ago. 'Because his mother had died, my father - as the one processing the paperwork - put my grandmother down as his mother,' she said on the House floor. 'And so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country.' State law requires candidates for the Minnesota legislature to be a qualified voter in the state, which includes being an US citizen for at least three months. Her was born in Laos and came to the US with her family as a refugee when she was just four years old, according to her campaign biography. Although Her is reportedly a naturalized citizen, making her eligible to hold office in Minnesota, the Democrat's remarks have sparked a wave of outrage online. Her admission, which has gone viral on social media, comes as several Democratic lawmakers have come under fire over the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots that broke out in LA over the weekend. Social media users were quick to demand Her be 'removed' from her position, despite it being perfectly legal for her to hold office. 'We've been told for years that illegal aliens don't vote in our elections. Now we find out that they RUN in our elections. How freaking rich is that!' one critic tweeted. Another wrote: 'This is exactly why Americans are fed up. Our laws must be enforced, no exceptions.' 'She needs not only to be removed from the House but also from the country! Illegal aliens out!!' one X user urged. 'Remove her from the office,' echoed another. The controversy surrounding Her's commentary comes as tensions over illegal aliens remain heightened across the country. Los Angeles faces a possible fourth day of protests over immigration raids in the city, as Democrats and Republicans clash over what has become the biggest flashpoint in the Trump administration's efforts to deport migrants living in the country illegally. Violent demonstrations protesting ICE raids broke out across the LA over the weekend, leading President Donald Trump to order deployment of the National Guard . California officials vowed to sue Trump on Monday to roll back the administration's National Guard deployment, saying the president trampled over the state's sovereignty . Gov. Gavin Newsom called the presence of troops on the streets of Los Angeles both 'illegal and immoral.' US officials said about 1,000 National Guard members were in the city under federal orders by midday Monday to respond to immigration protests. The full 2,000 members authorized by Trump were expected to be on the ground by the end of the day. Trump said in a post on his social media site that the city would have been 'completely obliterated' if he had not sent Guard members. ICE agents at least 44 people on alleged immigration violations over the weekend. And although the streets in Democratic-led Los Angeles were calm on Monday, t he White House and congressional Republicans contended the protests were a further reason for Republicans in Congress to pass Trumps 'One Big Beautiful Bill' that would increase border security and military spending. The bill, now in the US Senate after clearing the House of Representatives, would also slash taxes, cut Medicaid benefits and do away with green-energy initiatives.

Tony Awards draw best audience in 6 years for CBS

The Tony Awards on Sunday lured 4.85 million viewers to CBS, its largest broadcast audience in six years, according to Nielsen's data. CBS said Monday the telecast — hosted by 'Wicked' star Cynthia Erivo — scored a 38% increase over last year's 3.53 million viewers. That's the largest audience for the Tonys since 2019, when the telecast that year nabbed 5.4 million viewers and ' Hadestown ' was crowned best new musical. The latest version also had to compete with the second game of the NBA Finals, between the Thunder and Pacers, CBS also said the awards show drew its largest ever streaming audience on Paramount+ but did not disclose streaming viewership numbers, only saying it was up 208% from last year. 'Maybe Happy Ending,' a rom-com about androids that crackles with humanity won best new musical on a night when Kara Young made history as the first Black person to win two Tonys consecutively for 'Purpose,' which also won best new play. Interest in the Tonys may also have been fueled by the competition in the best lead actress in a musical category, with Audra McDonald gunning for her record-setting seventh Tony and Nicole Scherzinger of 'Sunset Blvd.' hoping to be crowned a legitimate Broadway diva after a career in the pop group Pussycat Dolls and as a TV talent show judge. Other Hollywood names included in the telecast included George Clooney making his Broadway debut and 'Succession' star Sarah Snook being named best leading actress in a play for 'The Picture of Dorian Gray,' a one-woman show.
