LA mayor says city ‘will not allow fear to be used as a weapon' against residents
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Wednesday that her city 'will not allow fear to be used as a weapon' against its residents. 'Los Angeles will not allow fear to be used as a weapon against Angelenos who make our city strong,' Bass said in a post on the social platform X. 'My administration is working with community organizations, legal advocates, and local leaders to ensure that every resident knows their rights and has the support they need. This city stands united,' she added. Earlier Wednesday, Bass said the raids were 'political retribution' against residents of the predominantly Democratic city. 'This fear paralyzes communities. We saw it before: kids too scared to go to school, families torn apart without warning. Let's not pretend this is about public safety. It's political retribution—plain and simple,' she added. President Trump's border czar Tom Homan said the LA protests were making ICE raids more 'difficult' and 'dangerous' on Tuesday. 'It's like we're a third world nation where people think it's okay to threaten the life and safety of federal law enforcement officers and their families,' Homan said during an appearance on NBC Nightly News. On Monday, Bass said that immigration raids in her city resulted in 'disorder' the prior night. 'Well, I just have to say that if you dial back time and go to Friday, if immigration raids had not happened here, we would not have the disorder that went on last night,' Bass said on CNN's 'The Situation Room.' 'I will tell you that it is peaceful now, but we do not know where and when the next raids will be,' she added. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) went after President Trump in a video address later on Tuesday, following the Trump administration deployed thousands of National Guard soldiers and Marines to Los Angeles in an attempt to subdue immigration protests. Newsom said while California is not unfamiliar with immigration enforcement, the administration was not focusing on immigrants living in the country illegally who have criminal records or those with deportation orders but 'indiscriminately targeting hard-working immigrant families regardless of their roots or risk.'

LA mayor casts Trump admin ICE raids as ‘political retribution' amid unrest
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles were 'political retribution' against residents of the predominantly Democratic city. 'Angelenos are trying to live their lives—going to work, caring for their families—while facing the constant threat of sudden immigration crackdowns,' Bass said in a post on the social platform X. 'This fear paralyzes communities. We saw it before: kids too scared to go to school, families torn apart without warning. Let's not pretend this is about public safety. It's political retribution—plain and simple,' she added. President Trump's border czar Tom Homan said Los Angeles protests were making ICE raids more 'difficult' and 'dangerous' on Tuesday. 'It's like we're a third world nation where people think it's okay to threaten the life and safety of federal law enforcement officers and their families,' Homan said during an appearance on NBC Nightly News. Some protesters have lit cars on fire, thrown rocks and other objects at police, and defaced federal buildings with graffiti during five days of demonstrations. Democrats say these isolated acts of violence do not justify Trump's heavy-handed federal response. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have mobilized thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines, which they say is necessary to protect federal immigration officials carrying out their duties in the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has traded public criticism with Trump and Hegseth. The governor, who is seen as a likely 2028 presidential contender, delivered a televised address Tuesday night warning Trump's over-reach would extend beyond California. 'This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived,' Newsom said. Protests against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown have spread to other major cities this week. Organizers with the 'No Kings' movement are planning some 1,500 demonstrations across the country on Saturday, protesting various Trump policies and timed with the military parade in D.C. on Saturday.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' eerie favorite TV show revealed at trial
An alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs is revealing the embattled mogul's favorite TV show is a true-crime franchise. Combs' ex-girlfriend "Jane," testifying under a pseudonym in Combs' federal sex-crimes trial, shared in court Tuesday, June 10, the eerie TV show Combs allegedly counts as his favorite. Under cross-examination, Jane said that she "endured" nights in hotels with escorts because she wanted to spend time with Combs – bathing him, rubbing his feet, cuddling with him and watching his favorite TV show, "Dateline," until he fell asleep. "I felt loved by him because we experienced these things together," Jane said on the stand. Diddy trial live updates: Jane was jealous over Yung Miami relationship, said 'I'm not Cassie' USA TODAY reached out to reps for "Dateline" for comment. When questioned by Combs' lawyer Teny Geragos, Jane also testified that she still loves Combs to this day. Combs, 55, was arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty."Dateline" features main host Lester Holt, the former host of "NBC Nightly News," and correspondents Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Blayne Alexander, Keith Morrison and Dennis Murphy. The show also features Kate Snow, Craig Melvin and Meredith Vieira. The popular show also streams on Peacock. A centerpiece of "Dateline" programming is highlighting injustices and crimes perpetrated by men against women, which Morris discussed during a 2021 USA TODAY interview. Discover WITNESS: Access our exclusive collection of true crime stories, podcasts, videos and more "Dateline" mainstay Morrison believes more women tune in to "Dateline" so they can "know the lay of the land when it comes to interpersonal crime." Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs "That lays open what I think 'Dateline' has exposed over the years, which is one of the worst epidemics we have: the epidemic of spousal abuse, of women being harmed by men. And I hate to say it, but that's really the basis of so much of the crime that occurs," Morrison said. Holt also told USA TODAY that the show's stories are "relatable" because "you realize that people that do bad things could be across the street from you, their kids could go to school with yours." "A lot of the people in these stories were good people, up until the moment they weren't, or they were living normal lives like ours and then one day they became a victim of something really horrible," Holt said.

Homan: LA protests making immigration raids more ‘difficult,' ‘dangerous'
President Trump's border czar Tom Homan said Los Angeles protests are making Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids more 'difficult' and 'dangerous.' 'It's like we're a third world nation where people think it's okay to threaten the life and safety of federal law enforcement officers and their families,' Homan said during a Tuesday appearance on NBC Nightly News. Demonstrators in Los Angeles have stormed federal buildings and set cars aflame after four local ICE raids sparked widespread outrage. Forty-four individuals were taken into federal custody on Friday, including a labor union president. On Tuesday evening, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass instituted a curfew in an effort to curb vandalism and looting. Homan on Tuesday pledged to charge ahead with arrests as outrage spirals amid a larger federal presence in the city. 'We've been running the ICE operation in Los Angeles every single day during this protest, and we're arresting a lot of bad people in that city. We're going to continue to do that,' Homan told host Tom Llamas. 'They're not going to stop us. They're not going to slow us down.' However, lawmakers say local ICE facilities are overpopulated and that detainees are living without power and being treated inhumanely. 'Overcrowding is so bad that women and children are being forced to sleep outside in tents. Meanwhile, the lights in the building shut off at 5pm. Families are sitting in pitch black…' Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) said in a statement over the weekend. 'According to attorneys on site, ICE claims it can detain people indefinitely even if they have a legal stay. That means even if a court says they can't be deported, ICE keeps them locked up anyway,' he added. Gomez, along with California Democratic Reps. Norma Torres, Lou Correa and Luz Rivas, were denied access to a facility on Saturday while seeking more information on detainees. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
