Los Angeles lifted its week-long curfew as calm returned to the city following protests over immigration raids. Mayor Karen Bass credited the curfew with helping protect communities but warned it could be reinstated if needed. Meanwhile, President Trump faces legal pushback after deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to LA without Governor Gavin Newsom's consent.A judge ruled Trump’s move illegal, ordering control returned to the governor, but a higher court paused the ruling after Trump’s appeal. Federal lawyers argue the deployment is needed to protect immigration officers. California officials disagree, saying local law enforcement is managing effectively.Critics say Trump’s actions mark a dangerous precedent, militarizing civil matters and bypassing state authority. The standoff may head to the Supreme Court, where conservatives hold a majority. Protests over aggressive immigration enforcement continue across major US cities.
