Trump demands a ‘Thank You' from Newsom after appeals court delays bid to boot military from Los Angeles
President Donald Trump said California Governor Gavin Newsom should be 'thanking' him for calling in the National Guard in Los Angeles after an appeals court ruling delayed the military being used to help stop anti-ICE protests. A U.S. District Judge ruled Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in LA was 'illegal' and violated the Tenth Amendment, and that troops had to leave. But a late-night decision by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dealt a blow to Newsom and delayed the implementation of the lower court order. 'Incompetent Gavin Newscum should have been THANKING me for the job we did in Los Angeles, rather than making sad excuses for the poor job he has done,' Trump raged on Truth Social Thursday evening. 'If it weren't for me getting the National Guard into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now!' For now, Trump will maintain control of the National Guard in LA after the court rulings. Before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals intervened, Newsom had touted the district judge's decision as a win. 'The court just confirmed what we all know — the military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets,' Newsom wrote in a statement on X. 'This win is not just for California, but the nation. It's a check on a man whose authoritarian tendencies are increasing by the day.' Newsom and Trump have been trading barbs all week. The governor raised concerns about Trump's mental acuity Thursday, saying the president fabricated details of a conversation about federalizing the state's National Guard. The military said that by Friday evening, a battalion of 700 Marines is expected to join the National Guard in Los Angeles to protect ICE agents conducting immigration raids. After a week of unrest, more protests against the Trump administration's ongoing workplace raids erupted in Southern California and across the nation, which are expected to continue through the weekend, aligning with the president's birthday parade.

Disorder breaks out at New Jersey immigration detention center
Protesters outside a New Jersey federal immigration detention center locked arms and pushed against barricades as vehicles passed through gates, inmates inside relayed word that meals had been delayed, and Newark 's mayor cited reports of a possible uprising and escape as disorder broke out at the facility. Much is still unclear about what unfolded at the Delaney Hall facility in Newark, where Immigrations and Customs Enforcement opened a 1,000-bed facility this year as part of President Donald Trump 's crackdown on illegal immigration. Photos and video from outside the facility Thursday show protesters pushing against the gates amid word that detainees inside were upset about delayed meals. Amy Torres, executive director of New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, said some officers sprayed pepper spray and tackled and dragged protesters away from the facility. She said some protesters had minor injuries, but no one was hit by the vehicles. An attorney for someone detained at the facility told told that people inside became violent after meals were delayed. 'It's about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive and it turned violent,' attorney Mustafa Cetin said. 'Based on what he told me it was an outer wall, not very strong, and they were able to push it down.' Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat who's been critical of Trump's immigration crackdown, early Friday called for an end to this 'chaos and not allow this operation to continue unchecked.' 'We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees,' he said. It's unclear whether there have been any escapes. Messages seeking comment were left with ICE, the Department of Homeland Security and local police. Delaney Hall has been the cite of clashes this year between Democratic officials who say the facility needs more oversight and the administration and those who run the facility. Baraka was arrested May 9, handcuffed and charged with trespassing. The charge was later dropped and Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver was later charged with assaulting federal officers stemming from a skirmish that happened outside the facility. She has denied the charges said she was doing her job as a lawmaker conducting oversight.
