This 87-Year-Old Veteran Was Arrested For Protesting Trump's Parade, And What He Said After Is Going Viral

87-year-old veteran John Spitzberg was arrested in DC on Friday.
According to WCJB, he was one of 75 veterans peacefully protesting against Donald Trump's military parade when they pushed down a bike rack and crossed a police line.
WORLD reporter Carolina Lumetta captured footage of the arrested, saying, "One elderly veteran was originally returned to the group and then pushed past the fence back to the Capitol plaza. Officers offered to return him again but he said he wanted to be with the rest of the protesters. They cuffed him and loaded into the vans."

The U.S. has 'No Kings' say hundreds of El Pasoans who joined anti-Trump protest

Chants of "No Kings" echoed through Edgemere Park as hundreds of El Pasoans joined the nationwide day of protests against the policies of President Donald Trump. Protesters of all ages gathered on the corner of Airport Boulevard with creative signs condemning Trump's attacks on immigrants, in defense of U.S. democracy and echoing the popular Trump acronym, TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out. The protest quickly spread down Edgemere Boulevard as more people continued to arrive throughout the morning for the "No Kings" protests on Saturday, June 14. "We have to be active participants in our democracy, we can't just sit idly by," Christina Franco, a 55-year-old resident of El Paso, said "We don't have kings. We have equal branches of government that have to do each of their parts." People started to gather before 10 a.m. and many remained after 1 p.m. The protest coincided with the president's 79th birthday, Flag Day, and a military parade in Washington, D.C., marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, which will include displays by troops, tanks, and other military equipment. The protests were organized to condemn Trump's increasing overreach, disregard for the independence of the other branches of government and increasingly authoritarian actions. More: For the first time in decades, the US-Mexico border is silent. Here's why The protests were peaceful, with organizers reminding the people who had gathered on the 100-plus-degree day to drink water. Police were a constant presence to guarantee the safety of those who were demonstrating. The protesters were joined by U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, who has condemned the Trump administration's misuse of taxpayer money, including the $45 million spent on the military parade on Saturday. "Our country is in a very precarious moment, as we see judges ignored, as we see democratically-elected leaders arrested, thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and as we see increasing egregious corruption and self-dealing," Escobar said. "I think most of us here understand the grave risk that our country is in. Our democracy is backsliding in a way none of us has seen in this country. Peaceful civic resistance is critical in this moment." More: 'It is a setup': ICE arrests migrants after their hearings at El Paso federal courthouse Millions of people across the United States participated in anti-Trump protests Saturday in nearly 2,000 towns and cities. The national "No Kings" protests were organized by the 50501 movement in support of the U.S.'s democracy. The movement's name stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. The protest in El Paso was organized by members of the Indivisible the 915 and EPTX United groups. Organizers were happy with the turnout, said Jackie Dean, an organizer with Indivisible the 915. More: El Paso joins national protests against ICE raids and military deployment Saturday's protests follow a week that saw massive protests in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in southern California. Trump deployed the California National Guard and active-duty Marines to Los Angeles in response to the protests. The protests in Los Angeles quickly spread over concerns of the heavy-handed raids by ICE. "I am out here because they are separating families," Rafael Pineda, a 30-year-old resident of El Paso, said during Saturday's protest. "They are leaving scars not just in our community, but across the world. Human rights aren't being respected. We are acknowledging that reality and that many of us are upset."

Gavin Newsom Challenges JD Vance: 'How About Saying It to My Face?'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday challenged Vice President JD Vance to a debate after the vice president visited Los Angeles and accused him of "egging on" violent disorder in the city. In a post on his X, formerly Twitter, account, the governor wrote: "...Since you're so eager to talk about me, how about saying it to my face?" Newsweek contacted Vance for comment on Saturday via email to the White House press office outside of regular office hours. Why It Matters U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have expanded their operations in Los Angeles and across the country as President Donald Trump seeks to deliver on his campaign promise to carry out the largest deportation operation in United States history. ICE conducted raids in Los Angeles and faced large protests in the city that largely remained peaceful with some instances of violence that prompted Trump to order the deployment of 4,000 members of California's National Guard and 700 U.S. Marines to assist in stopping violence, even as Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass insisted local law enforcement had the matter under control and a legal battle has pursued. The raids are following legal directive from federal authorities, but critics have raised concerns about the treatment of migrants by federal authorities as well as the tactics used by immigration agents during the raids. What To Know During his visit to Los Angeles on Friday to meet with troops, including Marines who have been deployed to protect federal buildings in the city, Vance said rioters had been "egged on" by Newsom and Bass, telling reporters: "The president has a very simple proposal to everybody in every city, every community, every town whether big or small. If you enforce your own laws and if you protect federal law enforcement, we're not going to send in the national guard because it's unnecessary. He added: "But if you let violent rioters burn great American cities to the ground, then of course we're going to send in federal law enforcement to protect the people the president was elected to protect." Vance also referred to Senator Alex Padilla, a California Democrat who was handcuffed and forcibly removed from a press conference DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was holding in Los Angeles earlier this month, as "Jose Padilla." Noem has said Padilla did not identify himself when he arrived at the conference, but Padilla disputes the claim. Responding on X, Newsom wrote: "Hey @JDVance — nice of you to finally make it out to California. Since you're so eager to talk about me, how about saying it to my face? Let's debate. Time and place?" In a separate X post, the governor shared a clip of Vance calling Padilla "Jose Padilla," adding: "JD Vance served with Alex Padilla in the United States Senate. Calling him 'Jose Padilla' is not an accident." California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks on March 26 in Los Angeles.

More Frazer Harrison/WireImage/Scott Olson/GETTY What People Are Saying Referring to the Padilla incident, a Vance spokesperson previously told Newsweek that: "He must have mixed up two people who have broken the law." Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said: "Mr. Vice President, how dare you disrespect our senator. You don't know his name," Bass questioned. "But yet you served with him before you were vice president and you continue to serve with him today, because the last time I checked, the vice president of the United States is the president of the U.S. Senate." She added: "You serve with him today and how dare you disrespect him and call him 'Jose.' But I guess he just looked like anybody to you. Well, he's not just anybody to us. He is our senator." President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social last week: "I campaigned on, and received a Historic Mandate for, the largest Mass Deportation Program in American History. Polling shows overwhelming Public Support for getting the Illegals out, and that is exactly what we will do. As Commander-in-Chief, I will always protect and defend the Heroes of ICE and Border Patrol, whose work has already resulted in the Most Secure Border in American History. Anyone who assaults or attacks an ICE or Border Agent will do hard time in jail. Those who are here illegally should either self deport using the CBP Home App or, ICE will find you and remove you. Saving America is not negotiable!" What Happens Next? Vance has yet to respond to Newsom's offer of a debate and it remains to be seen if he will do so. In December 2023, Newsom debated against Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis after the two went back-and-forth on their policies. Meanwhile, a U.S. appeals court on Thursday unanimously blocked a lower court ruling that put Newsom back in control of National Guard troops that Trump deployed to Los Angeles. The appeals court ruled that the president can keep control of the guardsmen while legal proceedings in the case continue.

Padilla responds to Vance ‘Jose' remark: ‘He knows my name'

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) on Saturday criticized Vice President Vance for referring to him by the wrong name at a presser in Los Angeles the night before. The vice president called California's senior senator 'Jose' and alleged his forcible removal from last week's Department of Homeland Security press conference was due to a desire to create 'theater' amid unrest in the city sparked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. 'He knows my name. He knows my name,' Padilla said during a Saturday appearance on MSNBC. 'Look, sadly, it's just an indicator of how petty and unserious this administration is,' he continued. 'He's the vice president of the United States. You think he'd take the situation in Los Angeles more seriously. Several Democrats came to Padilla defense after Vance's Friday remarks. Many of them slammed the leader for misnaming Padilla, whom he served alongside in the senate prior to becoming vice president. Vance's spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment on the matter. Padilla on Saturday, however, said he's not focused on the incident, but rather the safety of California's immigrant community. 'You know, you think maybe he'd take a moment to talk to some of the families who have been impacted, have been terrorized, to feel what's really going on on the ground,' Padilla told MSNBC, referring to residents who expressed fear following mass ICE raids across the state. In the days following raids and arrests, protests gathered to express outrage over the Trump administration's crack down on illegal immigration in Los Angeles. President Trump sent thousands of the state's National Guard soldiers and hundreds of Marines to respond to violent demonstrations. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said their presence is unwarranted and sued the president for unleashing the soldiers without first consulting him. A judge this week ruled in favor of Trump, affirming the president's ability to dispatch National Guard soldiers if he sees the need for boots on the ground. 'Many of the Marines themselves don't want to be there. That's not why they enlisted,' Padilla said Saturday. The lawmaker said instead of meeting with law enforcement in Los Angeles, Vance should instead aid the state's response to recent natural disasters and concerns from immigrant families. 'We've got a lot of important work to do,' Padilla added. 'But this is how the vice president chooses to act, and that says a lot.'
