CALIFORNIA STORM Chaos: Dramatic Rescues and Evacuations Unfold
— A fierce storm hit southern California, causing chaos and damage. In Malibu, debris flows pushed a car off the highway into the ocean. The driver, a Los Angeles Fire Department member, escaped with minor injuries.
Though heavy rains eased by Thursday night, rock and mudslide risks lingered on wildfire-scarred hillsides. Fires had stripped vegetation, leaving soil vulnerable to slides even after rain stopped. In Pacific Palisades, roads were covered in sludge as bulldozers cleared storm debris.
In north Altadena, mud and plants blocked roads near the Eaton Fire burn scar despite precautions. The area stayed mostly empty as residents followed warnings about potential dangers.
Sierra Madre issued evacuation orders for areas affected by the Eaton Fire due to active mud and debris flows. Officials warned that emergency services would not enter until conditions improved for safe access.
TRUMP’S Court Victory Shocks California: National Guard Power Grab Upheld
— A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that President TRUMP acted within his rights when he took control of the California National Guard during the Los Angeles protests. The court blocked a lower ruling that said Trump’s move was illegal because Governor Gavin Newsom did not approve it. This is the first time since 1965 a president has federalized a state’s Guard without the governor’s OK.
The Ninth Circuit judges said Trump had enough proof to send in troops, pointing to violent attacks on federal officers and property by protesters. The court noted that protesters pinned down officers, threw dangerous objects, and damaged buildings.
The panel clarified that presidents don’t have unlimited power over state Guards, but Newsom could not block Trump’s order — even if he wasn’t notified first as usually required by law.
This decision strengthens presidential power to protect federal interests during violent unrest — even if Democrat-led states like California try to resist.;

ICE RAIDS Ignite Chaos: Los Angeles Erupts Over Immigration Crackdown
— Federal immigration agents launched a series of ICE RAIDS across Los Angeles on June 6, focusing on businesses and detaining dozens. Rights groups say between 44 and 80 people were taken into custody. One of them was David Huerta, president of SEIU California. His arrest sparked instant outrage from labor unions and left-wing politicians.
Crowds quickly formed outside the federal detention center. Protesters blocked entrances and spray-painted anti-ICE messages on property. Federal agents used pepper spray, smoke grenades, and rubber bullets to break up the crowd after some protesters threw objects at officers.
The Los Angeles Police Department declared an unlawful assembly but did not take part in the raids themselves. Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom condemned both ICE’s actions and the police response, calling them threats to safety and democracy.
These raids are part of a wider effort under President Trump for tougher immigration enforcement nationwide. ICE says it targets dangerous criminals, but critics argue these actions only spread fear among immigrant families.;
