LA ICE protests, Day 8: Trump maintains control of National Guard troops in SoCal over Newsom
The National Guard, brought in by the Trump administration over the weekend, remains in Southern California as the area has entered Day 8 of anti-ICE protests.
The troops' ongoing presence comes as the appeals court blocked a federal judge's initial order to allow California to take control of the National Guard from President Donald Trump. The shock reversal came just hours after California Governor Gavin Newsom declared victory over the federal judge's ruling. The hearing to decide the fate of the National Guard will be held on Tuesday, June 17.
In the meantime, Los Angeles remains at the center of demonstrations against ongoing ICE raids happening across Southern California.
Below are live updates of the ongoing protests happening across Southern California (all times listed in Pacific Standard Time):
9:40 a.m.: Officials with the Los Angeles Police Department detailed arrets made from Thursday evening into Friday morning.
33 arrested for failure to disperse
13 arrested for curfew violation
1 arrested for resisting a police officer
1 arrested for pointing a laser at an airship
1 arrested for robbery warrant following a detention for curfew
The department added that during the crowd control situation, numerous less-lethal tactics were used.
8 a.m.: Law enforcement and business owners prepared for "No Kings" anti-Trump protests planned for Saturday.
"No Kings" will follow several days of nationwide protests against federal immigration raids including in Los Angeles, where Trump's deployment of the National Guard has been met with heavy opposition.

Big picture view
The recent raids come in the wake of President Donald Trump's nationwide push for mass deportations.
Internal government data shows ICE arrests during President Donald Trump's second term have already surpassed 100,000 this week, including over 2,000 arrests on both Tuesday and Wednesday. This marks a dramatic increase from the daily average of approximately 660 arrests during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
These numbers reportedly move closer to the stated goal of top administration officials, such as White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who has pushed for ICE to conduct "a minimum" of 3,000 arrests each day.

Trump warns of more attacks; lauds ‘spectacular military success' on Iran nuclear sites
President Trump on Saturday declared U.S. strikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities were a 'spectacular military success,' but warned in an address to the nation that he could order further action if Tehran does not agree to a satisfactory peace agreement. 'Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror,' Trump said in remarks from the Cross Hall at the White House. 'Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.' The president had announced hours earlier on Truth Social that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Trump, who was joined by Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his remarks, warned that Saturday's strikes could be the first in a wave of actions against Iran, which has been locked in conflict with Israel for nearly two weeks. Trump delivered his address from the doorway of the East Room, with the grand foyer in the background, the same place former President Obama delivered his address to the nation announcing the killing of Osama Bin Laden. 'This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,' Trump said. 'Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.'
