Los Angeles is embroiled in protests for the fourth consecutive day, fueled by outrage over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and the deployment of the national guard to suppress dissent. Despite escalating tensions, demonstrations persisted on Monday, with families of detained immigrants advocating for their release.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has formally urged Trump to reverse the national guard deployment order, prompting the president to threaten potential legal action against him. Notably, the Pentagon announced the dispatch of 700 marines to Los Angeles in response to Trump’s directive to bolster security amid the unrest.

Concerns have been raised by military veterans regarding the politicization of the armed forces due to Trump’s deployment of national guard troops against the wishes of the California governor. Meanwhile, California plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging the unlawful federalization of the state’s national guard to quell immigration-related protests in Los Angeles.

In other news, Trump’s latest travel ban targeting citizens from several countries in Africa and the Middle East went into effect, reigniting a contentious issue that has previously sparked legal battles. Additionally, Trump introduced a federal program offering $1,000 government-funded investment accounts for American babies, garnering support from prominent business leaders to bolster the initiative.
