"The court just confirmed what we all know - the military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets … End the illegal militarisation of Los Angeles now, President Trump," California Governor Gavin Newsom said Friday on X, attaching a copy of the court ruling. The court issued an order requiring the National Guard to return to the control of the California governor. The order will go into effect at noon on Friday. A raid by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to identify illegal immigrants in downtown Los Angeles on June 6 escalated into clashes with protesters. California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers detain protesters near the 101 freeway on June 10, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. Tensions in the city remain high after the Trump administration called in the National Guard against the wishes of Gov. Gavin Newsom and city leaders following two days of clashes with police during a series of immigration raids. - (Photo by MARIO TAMA / AFP) That same day, Newsom threatened that the state could refuse to pay federal taxes in response to the Trump administration's possible large-scale cuts in federal funding. The next day, the White House announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guards to the city. In response to the troop deployment, Newsom officially requested the reversal of the decision, accusing the White House of provoking the riots and asserting that state and city authorities did not have any problems until the president intervened. - BERNAMA More Like This

Universal Studios, Venice Beach to host LA 2028 events
Los Angeles's iconic Venice Beach neighborhood has been named among a list of confirmed venues for the 2028 Olympics (MARIO TAMA) An iconic Hollywood studio lot and the golden sands of Venice Beach are among an array of Los Angeles landmarks that will stage events for the 2028 Olympic Games, organisers said Tuesday. In an updated list of venues for the Games, LA28 confirmed venues for surfing, triathlon, baseball, cricket and squash amongst other sports. Advertisement Universal Studios will play host to squash's Olympic debut, with the sport taking place on Courthouse Square -- the mock-up town square featured prominently in Oscar-winning movies such as "Back to the Future" and "To Kill a Mockingbird". Venice Beach meanwhile will host the triathlon -- relocating from its initial venue in Long Beach -- and will also be the starting point for the men's and women's marathon, as well as the cycling road races. LA28 organisers also confirmed that cricket -- which is making its return to the Olympics for the first time in more than a century -- will be held at a purpose-built venue at Pomona, just east of Los Angeles. Earlier reports had suggested cricket could have been staged thousands of miles from Los Angeles in New York. The venue for surfing was also confirmed, with the competition taking place at Trestles Beach in the coastal town of San Clemente, roughly 61 miles (98 kilometers) from Los Angeles. Advertisement Baseball will take place at Dodger Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, which also hosted the sport at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. "We've promised the world an incredible Olympic Games and today we're proud to share the plan that will make it happen," LA28 chief executive Reynold Hoover said in a statement. "The 2028 Olympic venue plan invites communities from across the region to celebrate the Games coming to their backyard with the most exciting sports staged at some of the world's top-tier existing stadiums and arenas, famous beaches and purpose-built temporary structures." Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass said the venue plan announced Tuesday would "bring the Games to all corners of our city like never before".
