California governor says 'democracy is under assault' by Trump as feds intervene in LA protests
- On June 11, 2025, President Donald Trump deployed over 4,000 National Guard troops and federal immigration officers to Los Angeles amid protests against immigration raids.
- This deployment followed escalating protests sparked by recent immigration raids, with Governor Gavin Newsom condemning the federal intervention as unlawful and dangerous to democracy.
- A federal judge denied California's request to block the military deployment, while arrests of nearly 200 people occurred before a mandatory curfew was imposed in downtown Los Angeles.
- Trump defended the military presence as preventing the city from burning; Newsom warned that these actions risk devastating consequences and represent an authoritarian shift.
- The standoff highlights rising tensions over immigration enforcement and federal authority, with protests spreading beyond California and legal challenges expected to continue.
