Over the weekend, ICE conducted targeted raids across LA, resulting in 45+ arrests. The raids triggered anti-deportation protests, during which people lit cars on fire and attempted to break into a federal immigration building

Following the protests, the White House ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to LA to “protect ICE and other United States Government personnel”

It’s the first time since 1965 that the National Guard has been activated without a request from the state’s governor

Trump activated the National Guard under a law that lets him do so when “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States”

While Trump’s spokesperson said Trump was countering “violent mobs” and seeking to “address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,” many legal analysts questioned whether the situation met the threshold needed to trigger that law

Critics accused Trump of using the Guard to squash political dissent

On Thursday, Musk and Trump engaged in a series of fierce personal attacks, with Musk threatening to back a third party and Trump threatening to cut Musk’s government contracts

The fallout has raised economic and political concerns, particularly for Tesla shareholders (the company’s stock dropped 15%) and the GOP, for which Musk is now the biggest donor

Bill Ackman, one business leader who flipped to Trump, posted, “[They] should make peace for the benefit of our great country. We are much stronger together than apart”

Musk was the biggest donor during the 2024 election cycle, contributing over $288M to Republican candidates

Musk claimed that without his support, Trump would have lost the election, and Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate (the GOP currently holds a 53-47 majority)

When asked if he’s worried Musk would support the Democrats, Trump said, “he’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that”

Trump also threatened to “terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.” At one point, Musk said SpaceX would decommission its Dragon spacecraft – which the US relies on to shuttle astronauts and cargo to space – but seemingly backed down from the threat

Garcia had illegally immigrated to the US in 2012. This March, the Trump Administration deported him to El Salvador, despite an immigration court ruling that prohibited that, citing a credible risk of retaliation

The Supreme Court ordered the Trump Administration to “facilitate” Garcia’s return, however, the White House dragged its feet

After bringing human trafficking charges against Garcia, the White House brought him back last week to face charges

A federal grand jury indicted Garcia in late May on two counts: Conspiracy to unlawfully transport undocumented immigrants for financial gain and unlawful transportation of undocumented immigrants

The indictment alleges he participated in over 100 smuggling trips over nearly a decade, transporting thousands of migrants – including women, children, and alleged MS-13 members – from Texas to various US states

Garcia’s attorney said, “The government disappeared Kilmar to a foreign prison in violation of a court order. Now, after months of delay and secrecy, they’re bringing him back, not to correct their error but to prosecute him”

Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the move, stating, “Our government presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant, and they agreed to return him to our country”

Four of the plaintiffs were convicted of seditious conspiracy, one was acquitted of that charge but convicted of other offenses. All were pardoned by President Trump in January

The Boys’ lawsuit claims that the FBI and Department of Justice engaged in malicious prosecution, evidence tampering, violations of attorney-client privilege, and mistreatment in custody. It seeks $100M+ in punitive damages

The Proud Boys members say that they were arrested without probable cause and held in extended pretrial detention, often in solitary confinement

They also claim that their convictions were based on expressions of political support rather than direct criminal acts, amounting to political persecution

Their suit alleges that federal authorities sought “to punish and oppress political allies of President Donald Trump, by any and all means necessary, legal, or illegal”
