Here Are Some of the Southern California Immigration Raids From the Past Week
Tension has been growing for months over the Trump administration's aggressive efforts to deport people who remain in the United States illegally. But the situation escalated in Los Angeles about a week ago. After protesters converged on immigration raids and demonstrated against U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials, President Trump deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops to the city. While the focus has turned to ensuing protests in downtown Los Angeles and the heavy military response — the call-up has since increased to 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines — ICE agents have continued immigration raids each day in Southern California. It is difficult to have a comprehensive picture of the ICE efforts because the agency does not issue a list of people who have been detained each day nor the locations where they were taken from, and authorities did not confirm the number of raids they conducted in California this week. But residents, immigrant rights groups and elected leaders have cobbled together accounts of ICE workplace raids that they describe as indiscriminate attempts to find anyone who might be undocumented.

Tucker Carlson slams ‘warmongers' Sean Hannity, Rupert Murdoch amid Israel-Iran strikes
Political pundit Tucker Carlson doubled down on his criticism of Israel's strikes against Iran, rebuking several media figures, including his former colleagues at Fox News, over what he described as their push for President Trump to engage in the region. 'Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who's calling Donald Trump today to demand air strikes and other direct US military involvement in a war with Iran,' Carlson wrote in a post on the social media platform X. 'On that list: Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Perlmutter and Miriam Adelson. At some point they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now,' he continued. Hannity and Levin both work for Fox News, which is owned by Murdoch. Perlmutter is the former CEO of Marvel, and Adelson is a well-endowed GOP donor who co-hosted a January reception with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in honor of Trump's campaign win. Carlson said on Friday that the right is divided between those who encourage Trump to wage war and those who do not. 'The real divide isn't between people who support Israel and people who support Iran or the Palestinians. The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence, and those who seek to prevent it — between warmongers and peacemakers,' Carlson, who left Fox in 2022, outlined in the post. Levin, a radio host, has railed against Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, since early May when he accused the official of negotiating a nuclear deal with a 'warmonger Iranian terrorist regime.' Politco reported earlier this week that Levin ramped up his criticism of Iran alongside GOP insiders, including Perlmutter, who urged Trump to support Israel's attack during a private lunch at the White House. On Friday, Levin responded to Carlson, denying that he advised Trump to 'bomb' Iran. 'You're a reckless and deceitful propagandist, and that's the best I can say,' he wrote on X. 'You promote antisemitism and conspiracy nuts.' Iran lost three top military leaders, six nuclear scientists and dozens of senior commanders as a result of Israel's attack on their nation late Thursday. Iran responded with a round of ballistic missiles sent toward Israel after Trump said the U.S. would increase the pressure on Iran if a nuclear deal wasn't soon reached. 'There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end…,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come — And they know how to use it,' he continued. In recent weeks, Carlson alongside Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, have warned of the threat of nuclear warfare. 'While the American military may not have physically perpetrated the assault, years of funding and sending weapons to Israel, which Donald Trump just bragged about on Truth Social, undeniably place the U.S. at the center of last night's event,' Carlson wrote earlier in the day. 'Washington knew these attacks would happen. They aided Israel in carrying them out. Politicians purporting to be America First can't now credibly turn around and say they had nothing to do with it. Our country is in deep.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Americans weigh in on Trump's deployment of troops to quell Los Angeles unrest
A new national poll indicates that Americans are divided over President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and U.S. Marines to the nation's second most populous city. Aiming to extinguish escalating protests in Los Angeles sparked by immigration raids carried out by ICE at his administration's direction, Trump sent in National Guard troops and even mobilized Marines. The unrest and the moves by the president have dominated national headlines for a week. Forty-one percent of adults nationwide questioned in a Washington Post/George Mason University Schar School poll said they support the president's move, with 44% opposed and 15% unsure. The survey was conducted on Tuesday and questioned over 1,000 adults nationwide, including roughly 200 in blue-state California. First On Fox: Immigrant Voters Abandon Democrats On Immigration Issue Support for the president's actions among the California respondents stood at 32%, with 58% opposed. Read On The Fox News App The poll also highlighted an expected massive partisan divide. Click Here For The Latest Fox News Polling Eight-six percent of Republicans surveyed supported the president's deployment of the National Guard and Marines to the streets of LA, with more than three-quarters of Democrats giving a thumbs down on Trump's move. A third of independents approved of the sending of the troops, with nearly half opposed and nearly one in five unsure. Trump took control of California's National Guard without the permission of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the first time in 60 years that a president has federalized National Guard troops without a governor's request. Newsom, leading the resistance to Trump's moves, took legal action to try and reverse the order. Trump Deployment Of Troops To Quell La Rioters Latest Page In President's Political Playbook A federal district court judge this week ruled that Trump's moves were illegal and ordered him to return control of the National Guard troops to Newsom. But a federal appeals court quickly temporarily blocked the lower court judge's ruling. The survey also indicates Americans are divided over whether they support (39%) or oppose (40%) the protests. Just over one in five (21%) were unsure of their support or opposition. Seventy percent of Democrats — but just 39% of independents and only 6% of Republicans — support the aims of the protesters. According to the poll, Americans are also divided over whether the protests have been mostly peaceful (35%) or mostly violent (37%).Original article source: Americans weigh in on Trump's deployment of troops to quell Los Angeles unrest
