June 8, 2025 - Trump presidency, Los Angeles protest news
• On the ground: Police have used flash-bangs and tear gas while dispersing crowds, with some hitting and pushing protesters while making arrests, CNN witnessed. Protesters set at least two self-driving cars on fire. All of Downtown Los Angeles has been declared an unlawful assembly area. • Troop deployment: About 300 National Guardsmen are on the ground after President Donald Trump called them up to protect federal personnel and property. It's the first time a president has called in the National Guard without a state's request or consent in decades. Also prepared to deploy are 500 Marines. • Trump vs Newsom: California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over deployment of the National Guard, which he and LA Mayor Karen Bass have called inflammatory. • Why are there protests? Authorities and demonstrators have clashed for days after dozens of people were detained by immigration agents. Intelligence analysts believe protesters are motivated by several factors, including immigration raids, deployment of the National Guard, and agitators who fit profiles of 'professional rioters.'

Freeways blocked, cars on fire: LA protests against immigration raids and National Guard deployment
Update: Date: 2 min ago Title: 27 people have been arrested during Sunday's immigration protests in LA Content: A total of 27 arrests were made in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, LAPD Police Chief Jim McDonnell told reporters at a nighttime news conference. The alleged crimes include throwing a Molotov cocktail at an officer and ramming a motorbike into a police line, McDonnell said. Seventeen of the arrests on Sunday were made by the California Highway Patrol while clearing protesters from the 101 Highway, while the LAPD made 10 arrests during scuffles downtown, the police chief said. On Saturday, McDonnell said, 29 arrests were made for alleged failure to disperse. 'Our job is not to divide communities or to politicize law enforcement. Our job is simply to keep everyone safe,' McDonnell said. The chief addressed the community's 'deep fear and anxiety' emerging from recent immigration enforcement, and assured the department is 'committed to transparency, accountability, and treating every Angeleno with respect, regardless of their immigration status.' Update: Date: less than 1 min ago Title: What is the National Guard, and when are they deployed? Content: President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles on Sunday – the first time a US chief executive has used such power since 1992, when the Los Angeles riots erupted after four White police officers were acquitted in the beating of Black motorist Rodney King. What is the National Guard? It's part of the US military with a double line of command, answering to both state governors and the president. Its members are part of the primary combat reserve of the Army and the Air Force. Serving on a part-time basis, they can be deployed overseas for combat or support missions, but mostly operate in the US for domestic emergencies like natural disasters. Every state and territory (plus Washington, D.C.) has a National Guard. Any state governor or the US president can call on the Guard at any moment - setting it apart from other military branches. Previous state deployments: The National Guard has been mobilized by states for high-profile situations several times in recent years. During the pandemic, Guard members in some states helped to make face masks, field calls from concerned citizens, disinfect facilities and assembling testing kits. Following the January 7, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol, several states sent Guard members to Washington for additional security. Federal deployments: It's rare for the president to federally deploy the National Guard the way Trump did, without the request from a governor. Abraham Lincoln had mobilized troops to fight the Confederacy and later support Reconstruction, but National Guard would not evolve into today's form until the 20th century. After Lincoln, no president deployed the Guard until 1957, when they were sent ensure public order during the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. They were also federally deployed in 1967 to restore public order during the Detroit riots; in 1968 following the assassination of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; and in 1970 during the New York postal strike, according to the National Guard.

Australian journo hit with rubber bullet at US protest
A senator wants the prime minister to seek an urgent explanation from US President Donald Trump after police shot an Australian TV reporter with a rubber bullet in Los Angeles. Nine Network's US correspondent Lauren Tomasi was recording a piece to camera about protests against immigration raids when she appeared to be struck in the leg, with the incident caught live on camera. "After hours of standing off, this situation has now rapidly deteriorated, the LAPD moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters, moving them on through the heart of LA," Ms Tomasi said. Seconds later, she was shot with a rubber bullet. U.S. Correspondent Lauren Tomasi has been caught in the crossfire as the LAPD fired rubber bullets at protesters in the heart of Los Angeles. #9NewsLATEST: — 9News Australia (@9NewsAUS) June 9, 2025 Footage of the incident appeared to show an officer taking aim in the direction of Ms Tomasi and then firing. Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens spokesperson for media and communications, condemned the shooting. "US authorities shooting an Australian journalist is simply shocking," she said. "It is completely unacceptable and must be called out. "The Prime Minister must seek an urgent explanation from the US administration." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has yet to speak publicly on the incident. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles declined to comment on US immigration policy under President Trump, but said he was glad to hear Ms Tomasi was OK. "At the end of the day, how America operates its own immigration system is really a matter for the United States, and how it manages its own internal law enforcement is a matter for the United States," he told Sky News. It follows a similar incident in 2020 when Seven Network correspondent Amelia Brace was shot by US police with non-lethal rounds and struck with a truncheon during a Black Lives Matter protest. Ms Brace and cameraman Tim Myers were in Washington DC's Lafayette Square when officers began aggressively clearing the area ahead of a surprise appearance by Mr Trump. She later told US Congress she was shot in the legs and backside and Mr Myers was hit in the neck by non-lethal rounds from a police automatic weapon.
