Eva Longoria slams 'un-American' LA immigration raids from TV set in France as city goes on lockdown
Eva Longoria slammed 'un-American' ICE deportations that have led to riots in Los Angeles from France where she is filming a TV show. Her comments came before the city imposed a curfew across its riot-ravaged downtown in an effort to end pro-migrant protests which have gripped the city for five days. From 8pm Tuesday through to 6am Wednesday, swathes of the city will be under a strict lockdown as officers fight to regain control and stamp out widespread violence and destruction. Longoria, 50, spoke about the issue to her 10.6 million Instagram followers in an extended clip on Tuesday, admitting that while she was not physically in Los Angeles, her heart was with everyone impacted by the ongoing events. She said the unfolding events were 'hard to witness from afar'. 'I can't imagine what it's like to be in Los Angeles right now,' the Texas-born star added. 'I can't believe it's happening in Austin, Texas. I can't believe it's happening all over the country. 'And the comments and people's reactions to it is really so surprising to me because it is un-American. 'We all can agree nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country - that's not what's happening.' Longoria said that President Donald Trump was overreaching in his actions, and had not stayed true to his campaign promise to deport only criminals. 'These roundups are happening in birthday parties, in elementary graduations, Home Depots - those are not criminals,' she said. Chrissy Teigen has also been among the Hollywood stars speaking out on social media about the ongoing protests in Los Angeles over ICE raids ordered by President Donald Trump. Multiple stars took to platforms such as Instagram amid news Trump ordered 2,000 troops with California 's National Guard to the area amid ongoing unrest, to the objection of California Governor Gavin Newsom. Kim Kardashian also uploaded a post on Tuesday saying that 'there HAS to be a BETTER way' than what Trump is doing. 'When we we're told ICE is to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals – great,' Kim wrote. 'But when we we witness innocent, hard-working people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what's right.' Longoria in her clip said that standards in the immigration system under Trump are so warped and manipulated, that it's essentially a rigged game and impossible for people to achieve basic citizenship. 'Those of you that keep yelling, "Well, you should have come here legally, do it, get in the back of the line" - there is no line ... this mythical line that everybody's talking about. 'There's people that've been waiting for citizenship for 25 years that have been in line. And I just asked for you guys to educate yourself, if you're out there yelling, "Good, they deserve this" - they don't.' Actress Justine Lupe reposted a screed by actor Mark Ruffalo to her Instagram feed. 'I'm away from home but I love you Los Angeles. We showed up as a community in January and we're showing up now. Get out of our home ICE. We love our neighbors,' she wrote. The post from Ruffalo criticized people who were blaming 'the poorest of the poor for ruining your life.' It comes as the city of angels continues to take further measures into stopping the rage and chaos. Mayor Karen Bass announced the new orders after she was locked in tense meetings with the police chief and senior officials to weigh whether a strict curfew would help act as a circuit breaker and soothe tensions. For five days now rioters have wreaked havoc on communities as they railed against President Donald Trump 's efforts to rid the city of illegal migrants. They were only further enraged when Trump gave orders to send 700 Marines and 4,100 National Guard troops in to take over policing efforts and assist the LAPD. Rioters set fire to cars, looted buildings and attacked officers with rocks, fireworks and cement bricks in harrowing scenes of destruction which Attorney General Pam Bondi compared to a third world nation. Bass said the curfew is expected to last several days and will encompass a square mile radius around the epicenter of the violence in Downtown LA. Any protester who defies the order and remains out in the area past 8pm will be arrested. A curfew is the natural next step in efforts toward regaining control of the city, as the LAPD ramps up arrests and cracks down on protesters breaching unlawful assembly orders. Hordes of protesters were zip-tied and forced onto LAPD buses en masse as authorities sought to bring an end to days of chaos and destruction. LAPD chief Jim McDonnell said protests had grown more violent as the week progressed. There were just 27 arrests on Sunday, with 40 on Sunday, 114 on Monday and nearly 200 by 6pm on Tuesday. He said public safety personnel, journalists and homeless people would be exempt from the order.

Eva Longoria whines about 'un-American' LA immigration raids from France as city goes on lockdown
Eva Longoria slammed 'un-American' ICE deportations that have led to riots in Los Angeles - from what appeared to be the comfort of her Spanish mansion. Her comments came before the city imposed a curfew across its riot-ravaged downtown in an effort to end pro-migrant protests which have gripped the city for five days. From 8pm Tuesday through to 6am Wednesday, swathes of the city will be under a strict lockdown as officers fight to regain control and stamp out widespread violence and destruction. Longoria, 50, spoke about the issue to her 10.6 million Instagram followers in an extended clip on Tuesday, admitting that while she was not physically in Los Angeles, her heart was with everyone impacted by the ongoing events. The stunning star - who played the role of Gabrielle Solis on 180 episodes of the popular ABC series Desperate Housewives from 2004–2012 - was seated in a room that appeared to be from her Spain home. Longoria said the unfolding events were 'hard to witness from afar' - indicating she was likely at her home in Spain. 'I can't imagine what it's like to be in Los Angeles right now,' the Corpus Christi, Texas-born star added. 'I can't believe it's happening in Austin, Texas. I can't believe it's happening all over the country. 'And the comments and people's reactions to it is really so surprising to me because it is un-American.' The Mexican-American star said she was in the state of shock watching the events unfold, saying it went against the basic tenets America's forefathers laid out. 'We all can agree nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country - that's not what's happening,' said the Golden Globe-nominated actress.

Multiple stars took to platforms such as Instagram amid news Trump ordered 2000 troops with California 's National Guard to the area amid ongoing unrest, to the objection of California Governor Gavin Newsom. On Teigen's Instagram Stories, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit alum shared a tweet that mused about the allocation of resources toward the raids as opposed to feed or help people in need. Another post implied Trump had deeply-political motives with the flurry of bold moves in Southern California. Teigen also linked to advertisement for an event called the No Kings mass protest on June 14 along with a link provided by organizers. The outspoken star, who is married to A-list singer John Legend, has had a complicated history of activism. She emerged as a prominent voice of opposition to Trump in his first term, repeatedly getting under the sitting president's skin.

JD Vance savages Gavin Newsom over LA ICE riots previewing fiery 2028 presidential race matchup
Vice President JD Vance ridiculed California Governor Gavin Newsom, as he struggled to handle violent protests in California in response to ICE deportations. The social media duel between the two ambitious politicians was a messaging preview if the two leaders ultimately one day face each other in the upcoming 2028 presidential election. President Donald spent most of Tuesday criticizing Newsom, as he sent National Guard and US Marine service members into Los Angeles communities to quell the protests. 'I like Gavin Newsom, he's a nice guy but he's grossly incompetent,' Trump said. 'The people who are causing problems are professional agitators and insurrectionists. They're bad people, and they should be in jail.' Trump told reporters he even supported the idea of his immigration czar Tom Homan arresting Newsom for doing a 'terrible job' as governor as he returned to the White House from Camp David. Newsom reacted on social media, expressing shock at Trump's comments. 'The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor,' Newsom wrote. 'This is a day I hoped I would never see in America.' 'Do your job. That's all we're asking,' Vance replied on X. Newsom fired back at the vice president on social media. 'Do YOUR job,' the California governor replied. 'We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. Rescind the order. Return control to California.' Newsom appears eager to take his political career to a national level after he is prevented from running again for governor in 2026, thanks to term limits. Vance, who many expect to be the heir to the MAGA movement remained widely supportive of President Trump's action to send the military to help quell the riots. Vance shared additional video of the violent protests in California, showing burning cars and masked protesters waving Mexican flags. A woman stands on a car with a Mexican flag and a placard as protesters gather near the Federal Building in Santa Ana, California 'This administration will not be intimidated by lawlessness,' he wrote. 'We will stand by the FBI agents tracking down violent criminals, by the guardsmen, local police, and Marines restoring order, and by the ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws. President Trump will not back down.' He further ridiculed California Democrats for blaming Trump for needlessly escalating the riots by trying to deport illegal immigrants. 'People who were already violating the law are only violating the law because President Trump started enforcing the law,' Vance wrote. 'This is the logic of Newsom and his stooges.' Trump declared victory over Newsom and violent protesters on Tuesday morning. 'If I didn't 'SEND IN THE TROOPS' to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now,' he wrote on Truth Social.
