NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Accusing the federal government of intentionally provoking rioters and «turning the military against American citizens,» California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, filed an emergency motion to stop President Donald Trump from further using the National Guard and Marines to quell the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.
Fiery riots and looting have overtaken much of Los Angeles over the last several days following a series of ICE operations in the city. Despite the riots, Newsom said that the federal government’s military response has been unnecessary and that the protests are «largely nonviolent.»
Newsom and California Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the motion in a federal court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday. The motion asks the court to grant the state a temporary restraining order keeping Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense from the «use of the military and the federalized National Guard to patrol communities or otherwise engage in general law enforcement activities,» which they say «creates imminent harm to State Sovereignty, deprives the State of vital resources, escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.»
In a Tuesday statement, Newsom’s office said that the motion is charging the Trump administration with violations of the U.S. Constitution and Title 10 authority, «not only because the takeover occurred without the consent or input of the Governor, as federal law requires, but also because it was unwarranted.»

In the statement, Newsom’s office blamed the ICE agents for the riots, saying that their operations were carried out «without providing notification to law enforcement and engineered them to provoke community backlash.»
The next several days saw unrest and violent confrontations between anti-ICE rioters and law enforcement, while the Department of Homeland Security urged California state leaders to «call off their rioting mob.»
A DHS statement put out Saturday read, «Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property. It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) 2 hours to respond.»
In response to the escalating chaos, Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. Later, he also ordered 700 U.S. Marines into the city to restore order.

The move has been met with intense pushback from Newsom and other California Democrats.
Newsom’s office said that though «some violent and illegal incidents were reported,» the protests «were largely nonviolent and involved citizens exercising their First Amendment right to protest.»
The statement claimed «the protests did not necessitate federal intervention, and local and state law enforcement have been able to control the situation, as in other recent instances of unrest.»
«The federal government is now turning the military against American citizens,» Newsom said in the statement.
The governor claimed that Trump’s «sending trained warfighters onto the streets is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.»
«Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President,» said Newsom.

Newsom has sued the Trump administration for deploying the military to Los Angeles. The lawsuit said Trump «unlawfully bypassed» Newsom by putting National Guard troops under federal control without the governor’s permission.
The California attorney general, meanwhile, has claimed the president is «looking for any pretense to place military forces on American streets to intimidate and quiet those who disagree with him.»
«It’s not just immoral — it’s illegal and dangerous,» said Bonta.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump administration and the Department of Defense for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Trump warned his administration is «not playing around.»
Trump added that he had called California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday and criticized his handling of the riots.
«A day ago, I called him up to tell him got to do a better job. He’s done a bad job causing a lot of death and a lot of a lot of potential death,» Trump said of Newsom.

Trump offered further details on his exchange with Newsom to Fox News’ John Roberts. Trump told Roberts that his first call to Newsom was not picked up, but that they did connect and speak for 16 minutes when he called again.
«I told him to, essentially, ‘get his ass in gear,’ and stop the riots, which were out of control,» Trump told Roberts.

«If we didn’t send out the National Guard and last night, we gave him a little additional help. Los Angeles would be burning right now. Los Angeles would be not a lot different than what you saw take place in California, in Los Angeles just a little while ago,» Trump added in his statement to reporters, referring to this year’s wildfires.
Trump went on to describe the rioters as «animals,» and argued they are paid agitators rather than real protesters.
«They look in your face and they spit right in your face. They’re animals. And these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid troublemakers they’re agitators. They’re paid,» Trump said. «These are paid insurrectionists or agitators or troublemakers. You can call it whatever you want. And we ended it, and we have in custody some very bad people, some very bad people.»

The architect of former President Bill Clinton’s political rise offered a profane preview of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, claiming he will face a «public humiliation» by November.
James Carville, known as the ‘Ragin Cajun’ for his raucous demeanor, claimed every member of Trump’s administration except top adviser Stephen Miller «hates» him. He delivered the remarks on the Politicon YouTube channel he shares with journalist Al Hunt.
«However bad you think this is, however much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, in your staff, in your Congress, attorney on you, it’s just starting,» Carville said.
«You know how miserable you’re going to be in November? You know, how f—ing miserable you are? Tens of millions of American people get a chance to tell you exactly what they think of you.»
Democratic strategist James Carville doubled down this week after he was called out for predicting Trump’s imminent collapse in February. (AP/»Politics War Room»)
He addressed Trump as if he were watching, telling him to «sit still while I’m talking to you» and advising that «everybody is stabbing you in the back» before calling him a «fat, sorry, sack of s—.»
He claimed the Pentagon has begun, or will begin, leaking information to hurt Trump «because your boy Pete can’t control s—,» in an apparent reference to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
«You can’t trust anyone: trust no one, right. OK, maybe Stephen Miller, I’ll give you that one. The Congress can’t stand you. They’re not going to pass s— for you. They hate you. They know you’re going to bring them to staggering defeat.»

Carville also claimed Congress is in disarray, alleging that his fellow Louisianan Mike Johnson «doesn’t know whether to wind his a– or scratch his watch.»
«You are the most unpopular president at this point in your term that we’ve ever had. They don’t like you. You understand that? They don’t like you. They don’t like the way you smell and the way that you look. They don’t like your fat stomach. They don ‘t like your stupid combover,» Carville said, referring to the American people.
He also referenced the fact that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia ultimately decided to stop seeking prosecution of six federal lawmakers led by Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., who produced a video advising service members they can refuse lawful orders.

«When you lose Judge Jeanine… that’s kind of horrible,» he said, referring to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who is a former judge in Westchester County, N.Y. and ex-Fox News host.
«You’re in the process of getting the living s— kicked out of you. And how bad do you think this is? However much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, your own staff, and your own Congress attorney on you. It’s just starting.»
Carville closed by wishing Trump «good health» but warned him a «public humiliation is happening as we speak.»

«People [will] tell you exactly what the f— they think of you, and I got news for you, it ain’t very good,» he said.
In response, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called Carville an «irrelevant loser» who «rambles to an audience of no one.»
«This is a sad example of late stage Trump Derangement Syndrome,» Jackson told Fox News Digital.
«President Trump is focused on delivering on his many promises for the American people — driving down costs, tackling Bidenflation, deporting criminal illegal aliens, lowering crime rates, and more,» she added.

El presidente de Donald Trump aseguró este martes ante el Congreso que Estados Unidos recibió más de 80 millones de barriles de crudo provenientes de Venezuela, a la que definió como “nuestro nuevo amigo y socio”.
El mandatario afirmó además que el país atraviesa el período de mayor control fronterizo de su historia reciente, como parte de los logros que atribuyó a su segundo mandato.

Petróleo venezolano y balance económico
Durante su discurso sobre el estado de la Unión, Trump sostuvo que la producción de petróleo estadounidense aumentó en más de 600.000 barriles diarios, dato que presentó como evidencia del éxito de su política económica y energética.
En ese contexto, recordó que tras la operación militar estadounidense que derrocó y sacó de Caracas al entonces presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro, actualmente detenido en una cárcel de Nueva York, había anunciado que Venezuela vendería a Estados Unidos entre 30 y 50 millones de barriles de crudo. Según el mandatario, el volumen finalmente recibido superó ampliamente esa cifra inicial.
Trump dice que EE. UU. tiene “la frontera más sólida” en mucho tiempo
En el inicio de su mensaje ante la sesión conjunta del Congreso, Trump afirmó que Estados Unidos tiene hoy “la frontera más sólida” que haya tenido nunca, y vinculó ese resultado directamente con su gestión.
El presidente aseguró que en el último año los cruces fronterizos cayeron a cero, que el tráfico de fentanilo se redujo un 56 % y que los datos de muertes violentas también descendieron, aunque no detalló las fuentes oficiales de esas estadísticas.
“En los últimos nueve meses han sido admitidos a Estados Unidos cero extranjeros ilegales. Pero siempre vamos a permitir personas que ingresen legalmente, gente que amará nuestro país y trabajará duro para mantener nuestra nación”, afirmó Trump en su discurso.
La política migratoria volvió a ocupar un lugar central en la agenda presidencial desde el inicio de su segundo mandato. En las últimas semanas, la muerte de dos ciudadanos estadounidenses durante protestas contra redadas migratorias en Mineápolis, en las que intervinieron agentes federales, desató una crisis política que culminó con el cierre temporal del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) y profundizó la polarización en torno a la estrategia del Gobierno en materia de inmigración.
El discurso estuvo marcado además por la ausencia de decenas de congresistas demócratas, que se retiraron en protesta por la política antimigratoria del Gobierno.
“Una remontada histórica”
El jefe de Estado norteamericano destacó que el país atraviesa una “remontada histórica”, defendió su política de seguridad y advirtió que su Gobierno está dispuesto a responder ante cualquier amenaza, incluidas las provenientes de América Latina.
Trump sostuvo que su administración está “restaurando la seguridad y la dominación de Estados Unidos en el hemisferio occidental”, y aseguró que actúa para proteger los intereses nacionales frente a la violencia, las drogas, el terrorismo y la injerencia extranjera. En ese marco, advirtió que durante años amplias zonas de la región, “incluidas grandes partes de México”, estuvieron controladas por carteles de la droga.
El mandatario destacó como hitos de su política exterior la captura del presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro, detenido en Nueva York, en lo que definió como la primera aprehensión de un presidente latinoamericano desde la detención de Manuel Noriega en 1989. También aseguró que, el pasado fin de semana, los servicios de inteligencia estadounidenses tuvieron un rol decisivo para que el Ejército mexicano localizara y matara a Nemesio Oseguera, alias “El Mencho”, líder del Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación.
“Después de solo un año, puedo decir con dignidad y orgullo que hemos conseguido una transformación como nunca antes se había visto, y una remontada histórica”, afirmó Trump, de 79 años, en el que definió como su segundo y último mandato.
El rumbo de la economía
Trump también dedicó parte de su mensaje a la economía. Reconoció que el crecimiento de 2025 fue del 2,2%, inferior al del año previo, y que la inflación se mantiene elevada, mientras defendió su apuesta por los aranceles, pese a que la Corte Suprema anuló esa política y le recordó que cualquier modificación deberá pasar por el Congreso, fallo que el mandatario calificó como “muy desafortunado”.
En un tono más celebratorio, Trump evocó el 250º aniversario de la independencia de Estados Unidos, previsto para el próximo 4 de julio, y anunció festejos “por todo lo alto”. También invitó al equipo masculino de hockey sobre hielo que obtuvo la medalla de oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de Milán, un logro que el país no alcanzaba desde 1980, en una noche que combinó gestos patrióticos, advertencias geopolíticas y un marcado clima de confrontación política interna.
Trump advirtió que Irán desarrolla misiles que podrían golpear EE.UU.
Trumpa también aseguró que Irán busca desarrollar misiles que podrían golpear a Estados Unidos, una tecnología de armamento de largo alcance que solo tiene un número limitado de países.
“Ya han desarrollado misiles que pueden amenazar a Europa y a nuestras bases en el extranjero, y están trabajando para construir misiles que pronto alcanzarán a Estados Unidos”, declaró.
“Se les advirtió que no intentaran reconstruir su programa de armas, en particular las nucleares. Sin embargo, siguen empezando de cero”, indicó Trump.
En un momento en que Estados Unidos mantiene el despliegue militar en torno a Irán más importante en Oriente Medio desde la guerra de Irak de 2003, el presidente de Estados Unidos aseguró que “nunca tendrán un arma nuclear”.

The CIA on Tuesday published a Persian-language video on its X account calling on Iranian dissidents to make secure contact with the agency amid renewed anti-government protests inside the country.
The post came as CIA Director John Ratcliffe joined Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a classified «Gang of Eight» briefing on Iran on Capitol Hill, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.
Written in Farsi, the CIA message says the agency «can hear your voice and wants to help you,» and provides operational guidance for those considering reaching out.
The agency urges activists not to use office computers or personal phone lines and instead, if possible, to rely on a disposable «burner» device. It advises ensuring no one can view their screen or monitor their activity.
The video walks viewers through digital security precautions designed to protect their identities.

It recommends using updated browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox in Private Browsing or Incognito mode and clearing device and browser histories after making contact.
The video says the CIA also strongly encourages the use of encryption and anonymity tools such as Tor or a VPN, warning that without such protections, visiting the CIA website could be visible to Iranian security services.
The agency provides instructions for accessing its secure contact portal through Tor and other anti-filtering services.

The post comes as Iran entered its fourth day of escalating university protests and as U.S. negotiators are set to meet Iranian counterparts in Geneva Thursday for a second round of talks.
Tehran announced it would be building on «understandings forged in the previous round» and expressed determination to reach a «fair and equitable deal» swiftly.
In a post on X, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran reiterated that it would «under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon,» while insisting it would not relinquish its right to peaceful nuclear technology.
Calling the moment a «historic opportunity,» Tehran said a deal was within reach if diplomacy is prioritized, while affirming it would defend its sovereignty «with courage» at home and at the negotiating table.
