Trump casts blame for ICE protests on California Democrats
President Trump said California Democrats Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were to blame for the unrest in Los Angeles on Saturday as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rattle the city. Los Angeles police have not responded to rowdy demonstrations where protestors have vandalized cars and property, according to administration officials. LAPD confirmed they were not involved. Newsom said 2,000 soldiers were being deployed by the federal government in an effort to control the protests. '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 in a Saturday Truth Social post. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on the president's statement urging Democrats to condemn ' left wing radicals ' who were 'viciously attacking' ICE and Border Patrol in a post on X. However, Newsom said the federal response is 'inflammatory' and said deploying soldiers 'will erode public trust.' 'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice,' Newsom wrote in a Saturday X post. 'We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need,' he added. A group of over 800 assembled to address their outrage following Friday's raids, during which 44 individuals were arrested. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security said demonstrations have spread across the country, leading to 118 arrests in Los Angeles County and 5 in New York City this week, according to NewsNation reporting. 'Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE's immigration enforcement operations,' DHS wrote on X. 'Thankfully, unlike in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the riots. So far, NYPD [New York Police Department] has made five arrests,' the post read, adding that those who touch law enforcement officers will be prosecuted.

Newsom says Trump administration will send 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A. over ICE protests
A Trump administration official said Saturday that the federal government planned to dispatch National Guard troops to Los Angeles, where widespread protests have broken out in response to a series of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests. U.S. Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations Tom Homan said on Fox News that the administration would send the National Guard to Los Angeles at some point on Saturday. President Donald Trump has not announced a mobilization of the U.S. military, but top aide Stephen Miller called the protests 'an insurrection' Saturday morning, a charge that could allow Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in troops. 'The move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,' Newsom said. The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions. LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice. We are in close… — Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) June 8, 2025 ICE carried out a series of arrests in Los Angeles County Friday and Saturday, sparking large protests in Los Angeles and nearby Paramount and denouncements from representatives from local and state lawmakers. The Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that ICE arrested 118 immigrants in Los Angeles this week, though it did not say how many were in the U.S. illegally. Federal agents and Los Angeles police have also arrested dozens of protestors, including David Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California. The city's congressional representatives told the Los Angeles Times that federal agents blocked them from checking on people at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where advocates said the jail has become overcrowded. ICE, under Trump's orders to carry out a mass deportation effort throughout the country, has conducted a number of high-profile raids in California in recent weeks, targeting businesses and even immigration courts. On Wednesday, immigration advocates said ICE agents arrested at least 15 people, including children, who were checking in with immigration officials, a routine requirement for those whose immigration cases are still pending. As ICE has ramped up its efforts, its agents have often met fierce resistance from residents and advocacy groups, with protestors in Los Angeles and San Diego confronting agents directly.

Newsom blasts deployment of National Guard to LA as ‘purposefully inflammatory'
LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday denounced President Donald Trump's plan to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to quell pro-immigrant demonstrators in the Los Angeles area, calling the action 'purposefully inflammatory.' The Democrat's remarks came after Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, told Fox News that the administration planned to send National Guard troops to the area. In a statement, Newsom said Trump was moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers, which the governor said would 'only escalate tensions' after protestors confronted immigration agents making raids on local businesses. Trump's move came without Newsom's signature, presumably by invoking Title 10, the legal basis for activating and mobilizing the Guard. In a social media post, Trump said, '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!!!' The standoff in Paramount, a small city in southeast Los Angeles County, marks the second consecutive day of clashes in the region over high-profile immigration raids. At least 44 people were arrested on Friday on suspicion of immigration violations. Among those arrested was the president of the labor union SEIU California, David Huerta, whose injuries during his detainment required brief hospitalization and set off a wave of condemnation from California Democratic officials, including Newsom. A video of Huerta's arrest showed officers knocking the labor union leader to the ground. In Paramount, federal agents in riot gears squared off against protestors, using tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse the crowds. Homan told Fox News that while people had a First Amendment right to protest, there would be consequences for 'crossing the line' and impeding ICE's operations. 'We're already ahead of the game. We're already mobilizing. We're going to bring in the National Guard tonight,' he said. 'We're going to continue doing our job. We're going to push back on these people and we're going to enforce the law.' Newsom, in his statement, said such federal intervention was unnecessary. 'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need,' Newsom said. 'The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.'
