US: LA Uprising – Trump Threatened with Lawsuit! (10.6.2025)

The lawsuit, which names President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Department of Defense, claimed that the takeover violates the U.S. Constitution and exceeds the president’s Title 10 authority, not only because the takeover occurred without the consent or input of the governor, as federal law requires, but also because it was unwarranted, according to a news release from the governor’s office on Monday. The protests initially began in response to immigration enforcement operations. In recent days, administration officials have focused their efforts on major Democratic-led cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Protesters at the scene also chanted “shame on you” at National Guard soldiers who created a perimeter around the federal building. Meanwhile, many locations have been taken over by more and more demonstrators and a main freeway running through the city has been blocked.

Shortly after the clash, California Governor Gavin Newsom urged protesters to remain peaceful.

“California — Don’t give Donald Trump what he wants. Speak up. Stay peaceful. Stay calm,” Newsom wrote in an online post. “Do not use violence and respect the law enforcement officers that are trying their best to keep the peace.”

National Guard troops sent by the Trump administration arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday morning, according to the U.S. Northern Command. The 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the California National Guard deployed approximately 300 soldiers to three separate locations in the greater Los Angeles area.
