Chaotic scenes emerge amid immigration crackdown
As President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown widens, immigration arrests across the U.S. over the weekend claimed mothers, restaurant workers and wanted criminals. Meanwhile, government says self-deportation is the "best way" to avoid arrest:
Chaos at a California restaurant: In one recent case of arrests, heavily armed agents entered a popular San Diego Italian restaurant Friday as local residents screamed at them and filmed the scene.
The agents arrested several kitchen workers, while community members confronted agents, according to video shared by a local CBS station. The agents wore tactical gear, including bulletproof vests emblazoned with the Homeland Security Investigations logo.

Trump's big tax bill moves ahead to potential changes in the Senate
When members of Congress return to Washington on Monday after a weeklong break, the upper chamber will dig into the more than 1,000-page bill that would extend income tax cuts, implement new tax breaks for tipped wages and overtime, overhaul Medicaid and food stamps, and put more money toward Trump's deportation plan. At least a dozen senators have indicated they would like to tweak the package before they sign off on it.
Russia-Ukraine blasts on the eve of peace talks
After days of uncertainty over whether Ukraine would attend, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Defense Minister Rustem Umerov would sit down with Russian officials at the second round of direct peace talks in Istanbul on Monday. The first round of talks, more than a week ago, yielded the biggest prisoner exchange of the war - but no sense of consensus on how to halt the fighting. Amid talk of peace, though, there was much war. Russia and Ukraine engaged over the weekend in one of the biggest drone battles of their conflict.

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 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.'

Violent Rioters Swarm ICE Agents In Los Angeles
Hundreds of violent demonstrators targeted federal immigration agents in Los Angeles over the weekend, surrounding a federal building, vandalizing vehicles, and assaulting agents. ICE agents arrested illegal aliens in multiple raids across the Los Angeles area on June 6 and 7, Fox 11 reported. According to a press release, agents were targeting 'criminal illegal aliens' including 'gang members,' 'drug traffickers,' and others with a history of violence, robbery, smuggling, and 'cruelty to children.' More than 1,000 attackers surrounded a federal building on June 6, leaving officers 'vastly outnumbered,' ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons said in the release. They also targeted agents on June 7, destroying a local news SUV in the process. As Fox News' Bill Melugin reported, rioters threw rocks at federal agents as they drove away. 'These violent rioters will be held accountable if they harm federal officers, and make no mistake, ICE will continue to enforce our nation's immigration laws and arrest criminal illegal aliens,' Lyons said. Federal agents arrested David Huerta, president of the public union SEIU California, on June 6. He allegedly 'obstructed their access by blocking their vehicle' while they were serving a warrant, according to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. California Gov. Gavin Newsom defended Huerta, calling him a 'patriot' and saying he was simply 'witnessing government action.' Amid the riots, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a statement to 'immigrants' that the city was 'fighting for you.' Lyons denounced Bass for siding with 'chaos and lawlessness over law enforcement.' 'It took over two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department to respond, despite being called multiple times,' Lyons said in the release. 'Sanctuary politicians would do well to remember that impeding our efforts only endangers their communities, law enforcement officers, and the detainees they claim to support.' Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell also pledged to 'not assist or participate in any sort of mass deportations' in a statement on June 6. He said the deportations were causing 'anxiety for many Angelenos.' Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, said on X McDonnell was 'siding with invaders over citizens.' He called the riots 'an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.' These operations are 'proceeding as planned' in Los Angeles County, Essayli posted to X on June 7. He urged residents to refrain from interfering, and said anyone who obstructs agents can expect 'arrest and prosecution.' ICE will 'continue to enforce the law,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted to X. She said 'if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a stark warning to rioters:
