Trump Hints at Insurrection Act, Newsom's Lawsuit Fails | CA Dems Threaten More Riots | 6/11/25

from The A.M. Update · host Aaron McIntire

The A.M. Update reports on the latest in Los Angeles, where a federal judge rejected California Governor Gavin Newsom's bid for an immediate restraining order against President Trump's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to curb riots sparked by ICE raids. Trump hints at invoking the Insurrection Act, citing violent protesters throwing concrete at police and soldiers. Democratic Representative Norma Torres and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass demand an end to ICE raids, not troops, claiming the raids fuel chaos. Representative Maxine Waters denies violence occurred, despite evidence of assaults on officers. The FBI places Compton resident Elpidio Reyna on its Most Wanted list for attacking federal vehicles. ICE announces its largest workplace raid, arresting over 100 illegal immigrants in Nebraska. Walmart heiress Christy Walton funds "No Kings" protests set for June 14, coinciding with Trump's military parade. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defends the troop deployment and announces the restoration of historic Army fort names at Fort Bragg's 250th Army birthday celebration. Senator Josh Hawley proposes a $15 minimum wage bill, and Simone Biles apologizes for criticizing Riley Gaines over trans athlete issues. Victor Davis Hanson delivers a scathing critique of California's leadership, questioning their stance on illegal immigration and violence. Finally, McIntire calls Apple the "fat Elvis" of tech for its lackluster "Liquid Glass" interface at WWDC.   Los Angeles riots, Trump administration, Gavin Newsom, lawsuit, National Guard, Marines, ICE raids, Insurrection Act, Norma Torres, Karen Bass, Maxine Waters, Elpedio Reyna, FBI Most Wanted, No Kings protests, Christy Walton, Pete Hegseth, Army 250th birthday, fort renaming, Josh Hawley, minimum wage, Simone Biles, Riley Gaines, Victor Davis Hanson, Apple WWDC, Liquid Glass
