Trump news at a glance: ‘This is not justice' – the uprising over Ice raids on LA
Donald Trump's homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, on Saturday pushed back against the protesters opposing immigration raids in Los Angeles: 'A message to the LA rioters: you will not stop us or slow us down. @Icegov will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner and the White House deputy chief of staff, described the protests as a 'violent insurrection'. During protests at a federal detention facility in downtown LA, David Huerta, a senior union official, was arrested in a police response that included teargas and flash-bangs. Hospitalised for his injuries, Huerta released a statement: 'Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals. We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice.' Following are the key Trump administration stories of the day: The Trump administration will deploy the national guard to immigration protests in Los Angeles, the border czar, Tom Homan, said on Saturday, as an immigration crackdown in the area erupted into mass protests with police in riot gear deploying teargas at bystanders. Arrests by immigration authorities in Los Angeles come as Donald Trump and his administration push to fulfil promises to carry out mass deportations across the country. Read the full story Trump warned Elon Musk on Saturday that he faces 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidates following the pair's epic public bust-up. He said in an NBC News interview to be broadcast on Sunday: 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that. He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that.' Trump said he had no intention to speak to Musk and no wish to repair his relationship with Musk. 'I'm too busy doing other things.' Read the full story JD Vance said Elon Musk was making a 'huge mistake' going after Donald Trump. 'I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear … Look, it happens to everybody. I've flown off the handle way worse than Elon Musk did in the last 24 hours … I actually think if Elon chilled out a little bit, everything would be fine.'

Los Angeles anti-ICE protests: Trump threat against ‘riots and looters' after immigration raids spark fury on LA streets
President Donald Trump has threatened to use the federal government to crush anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles sparked by a weekend immigration raid in the city. The president said the 'RIOTS & LOOTERS' would be dealt with 'the way it should be solved!!!' 'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!' Trump wrote. When discussing protesters in the past, the president once quipped that 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts.' Earlier on Friday, Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said he plans to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to combat protests against ICE that began this weekend following immigration raids in the city. 'We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,' Homan told Fox News. California Governor Gavin Newsom responded, calling Homan's threat 'purposefully inflammatory.' 'That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,' he said in a statement. 'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice.'

Trump to send National Guard to Los Angeles after violent anti-ICE protests
Donald Trump has ordered the National Guard onto the streets of Los Angeles after a second day of violent protests against his immigration policies. Protesters on Saturday confronted federal immigration officers who had been carrying out raids on local businesses in Paramount, on the outskirts of LA. Border Patrol officers in riot gear and masks deployed tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse demonstrators outside an industrial park where federal vehicles were targeted. Protesters used cement blocks and shopping carts to block the road and jeered at officers, shouting at them to get Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (ICE) 'out of Paramount'. 'We see you for what you are,' they shouted, and 'You are not welcome here'. One handheld sign read, 'No Human Being is Illegal.' Tom Homan, the White House's border czar, told Fox News on Saturday that the National Guard will be sent to the city as the protests continued to escalate. 'We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,' Mr Homan said. 'American people, this is about enforcing the law – and again, we're not going to apologise for doing it.' It follows a protest outside a detention centre in down-town LA on Friday night during which dozens of people were arrested as they demonstrated against a series of ICE raids on workplaces earlier in the day. LA's mayor, Karen Bass, a Democrat, provoked fury from Republicans after she claimed that activity by ICE was meant to 'sow terror' in the nation's second-largest city. ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons attacked Ms Bass for the city's response to the protests. 'Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over law enforcement,' Mr Lyons said. 'Make no mistake, ICE will continue to enforce our nation's immigration laws and arrest criminal illegal aliens.' ICE had taken 40 people into custody earlier on Friday after searching multiple locations including a clothing warehouse in the city's fashion district. A tense scene unfolded as a crowd tried to block agents from driving away. Advocates for immigrants' rights said people had also been taken into detention after being stopped by ICE officers outside Home Depot stores and a doughnut shop. The action came after a judge found probable cause that an employer was using fictitious documents for some of its workers, according to representatives for Homeland Security Investigations and the US Attorney's Office. Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary, posted a message on social media addressing 'LA rioters' and warning that interference with immigration enforcement would not be tolerated. 'You will not stop us or slow us down,' Ms Noem said on X, adding that ICE 'will enforce the law' and that 'if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' Dan Bongino, the FBI Deputy Director, confirmed multiple arrests had been made on Friday. He posted on X: 'You bring chaos, and we'll bring handcuffs. Law and order will prevail.' DHS said in a statement that recent ICE operations in LA resulted in the arrest of 118 immigrants. Following the Friday arrests, protesters gathered in the evening outside a federal detention centre, chanting, 'Set them free, let them stay!' Some held signs with anti-ICE slogans, and some people scrawled graffiti on the building. Among those arrested at the protests was David Huerta, regional president of the Service Employees International Union. Justice Department spokesperson Ciaran McEvoy confirmed that he was being held on Saturday at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in LA ahead of a court appearance on Monday. It was not clear whether Mr Huerta had legal representation. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate Minority leader, called for his immediate release. In a social media post, Mr Schumer cited a 'disturbing pattern of arresting and detaining American citizens for exercising their right to free speech.' The immigration arrests come as Mr Trump and his administration push to fulfil promises of mass deportations across the country.
