Newsom files emergency motion to ‘immediately block’ Trump’s use of military to stop LA riots
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.»

As Hezbollah rebuilds its forces and Lebanon is accused of failing to enforce the ceasefire terms brokered last year, Israel’s defense minister has fired off a warning to Beirut.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Israel Katz said, «Hezbollah is playing with fire, and the president of Lebanon is dragging his feet,» he said. «The Lebanese government’s commitment to dismantle Hezbollah’s weapons and remove it from southern Lebanon must be realized. Enforcement will continue and deepen — we will not allow a threat to the residents of the north.»
His warning comes as Fox News Digital has learned that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is weighing broader operations against the Iran-backed terrorist group after repeated violations of the truce.
A senior IDF officer stationed on the northern border told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that Hezbollah remains fully armed and funded by Iran.

«Hezbollah didn’t give up their heavy weapons,» the officer said. «They’re still trained, still financed by Iran, and still trying to re-establish their positions. Our job is to make sure they don’t succeed.»
On Monday, the IDF confirmed it had killed two Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon. Muhammad Ali Hadid, a senior member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, was eliminated in Nabatieh, while another operative was struck in Ayta ash Shab after being seen collecting intelligence on Israeli positions.
«The terrorists’ activities violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,» the IDF said in a statement. «The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.»

The senior officer said the operations reflect Israel’s new, proactive security doctrine. «If somebody threatens us, we take control of the situation and make the threat go away,» he said. «We pushed Hezbollah back, so civilians could return. Now we’re fortifying those gains and acting to prevent their recovery.»
That, he added, is the lesson Israel learned from Oct. 7. «Until then, we sometimes looked the other way. That’s over. We’re not sitting and waiting for the next rocket.»

The officer said the IDF’s 91st Division recently completed its largest exercise since the start of the war, designed to strengthen operational readiness for both defense and offensive operations along the Lebanese border — at sea, in the air, and on land.
«We tested our defensive systems, coordination, and rapid-response capabilities,» he said. «We’re applying every lesson from Oct. 7 so our response next time will be immediate.»

According to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, intelligence officials believe Hezbollah is rapidly rebuilding its arsenal with Iranian assistance. The group has partially restored its weapons supply chain through Syria and Iraq, despite disruptions following the collapse of the Assad regime last year.
The Trump administration has also expressed frustration over Beirut’s failure to curb Hezbollah. U.S. Special Envoy Thomas Barrack recently described Lebanon as «a failed state» because of its «paralyzed government,» and that Hezbollah pays its fighters more than the national army soldiers earns.

Responding to Israel’s preemptive strikes last week, Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi urged his visiting German counterpart on Friday to «help pressure Israel to halt its attacks.»
«Only a diplomatic solution, not a military one, can ensure stability and maintain calm in the south,» Raggi said, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
He added that the Lebanese government «is gradually moving forward with its decision to bring all weapons under state control.»
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Thursday voiced «deep concerns», urging all parties «to fully commit to the cessation of hostilities.»
UNIFIL added that it remains in contact with the Lebanese Armed Forces and emphasized that extending state authority «is at the very core of Resolution 1701.»

Despite diplomatic criticism, Israeli commanders insist they will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild.
«We won’t wait for another Oct. 7,» the Israeli officer said. «We’re vigilant, we’re rebuilding, and we’re ready. The quiet we have now depends on Hezbollah’s choices — not on our willingness to defend ourselves.»

White House slams Mamdani’s ‘completely irresponsible’ comments linking Trump to threats against voters
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The White House slammed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani after he linked the Trump administration to threats against voters in New Jersey.
On Tuesday, as New Jerseyans went to cast their ballots, bomb threats forced voters out of multiple polling places. While the threats were found to be non-credible, they still caused a disruption to those looking to exercise their right to vote for the Garden State’s next governor. When asked about the threats in his neighboring state, Mamdani made comments that raised eyebrows and rocked the West Wing.
Mamdani called the threats «incredibly concerning» and said that he believed they were «an illustration of the attacks we’re seeing on our democracy.»
«We have to understand this as part of the general approach the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across this country,» Mamdani said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Mamdani’s remarks were «completely irresponsible» and not based in fact.
«I think they are completely irresponsible, and they are based on zero evidence. And I think this is just another example of how the Democrat Party unfortunately stands for nothing. All they stand against is President Donald Trump. And I think it’s quite sad to see that we have someone at the top of the ticket on an Election Day today saying such things about the president, when he obviously had absolutely nothing to do with those threats,» Leavitt said in response to a question from Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich.
On Monday, Trump, who has been an outspoken critic of Mamdani, backed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race.
«I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a record of success, WIN, than a communist with no experience and a record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE. He was nothing as an assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as mayor of potentially, again, the greatest city in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former glory!,» Trump wrote on Truth Social.

TRUMP BACKS CUOMO AND THREATENS TO CUT FEDERAL FUNDING IF ‘COMMUNIST MAMDANI’ WINS NYC MAYOR RACE
«We must also remember this — A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani. Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job,» Trump added. «He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!»
Trump, a native New Yorker, also said that if Mamdani were to win, it would be «highly unlikely that I will be contributing federal funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home.»
Cuomo responded, saying that Trump «doesn’t support me,» but rather «he opposes Mamdani.»
«He believes that Mamdani is an existential threat to New York,» Cuomo added.

«The MAGA movement’s embrace of Andrew Cuomo is reflective of Donald Trump’s understanding that this would be the best mayor for him,» Mamdani said at a press event in New York on the eve of the election. «Not the best mayor for New York City, not the best mayor for New Yorkers, but the best mayor for Donald Trump and his administration.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s campaign for comment on Leavitt’s response.

Se derrumbó parte de una torre medieval en Roma durante una restauración y murió un obrero
Una jornada de angustia y desesperación sacudió el corazón de Roma este lunes, cuando parte de la histórica Torre dei Conti colapsó durante trabajos de restauración y dejó a varios obreros atrapados bajo toneladas de escombros.
El operativo de rescate se extendió por más de 11 horas y mantuvo en vilo a toda la ciudad. Finalmente, los bomberos lograron sacar con vida a Octav Stroici, un trabajador rumano que había quedado debajo. Sin embargo, la alegría duró poco: el hombre no resistió las heridas y murió poco después de un paro cardiorrespiratorio en el hospital. “Se hicieron intentos de reanimación durante más de una hora”, informó el hospital Umberto I a la agencia noticiosa italiana Ansa.

Un rescate dramático y una muerte que conmocionó a Italia
La primera ministra italiana, Giorgia Meloni, expresó su “profundo dolor y condolencias” a la familia y compañeros de Stroici. “Estamos cerca de su familia y colegas en este momento de sufrimiento indescriptible”, afirmó en un comunicado difundido pasada la medianoche.
El Ministerio de Exteriores de Rumania confirmó la identidad de la víctima y agradeció la determinación de los rescatistas, que trabajaron sin descanso para liberar al obrero. Otro trabajador rumano fue rescatado y se encuentra fuera de peligro. Varios derrumbes en la estructura medieval dificultaron el rescate de los trabajadores. (Foto: AFP/Tiziana Fabi).
El rescate fue una verdadera odisea. Los bomberos intentaron acercarse al hombre atrapado a través de una ventana del primer piso, pero debieron retirarse cuando la estructura siguió cediendo y una nube de escombros los obligó a retroceder. Un segundo intento con escaleras también fracasó, y finalmente recurrieron a un dron y a una grúa con tubos gigantes para succionar los restos desde el segundo piso.
Recién entrada la noche, un grupo de rescatistas logró cargar a Stroici en una escalera telescópica y bajarlo en camilla hasta la ambulancia. “La operación duró mucho tiempo porque cada vez que se liberaba una parte del cuerpo, quedaba cubierta por más escombros”, explicó Lamberto Giannini, prefecto de Roma.
El colapso de la Torre dei Conti: qué pasó y cómo fue el operativo
El derrumbe ocurrió al mediodía, cuando la torre —construida en el siglo XIII por orden del papa Inocencio III— sufrió el colapso de su contrafuerte central y parte de la base inclinada. Tres obreros lograron salir ilesos y otro, de 64 años, fue hospitalizado en estado crítico, aunque consciente.
El alcalde de Roma, Roberto Gualtieri, contó que Stroici se comunicaba con los rescatistas y usaba una mascarilla de oxígeno mientras intentaban liberarlo. “Fue una operación muy delicada para evitar nuevos derrumbes”, detalló.

Cientos de turistas y curiosos presenciaron la dramática escena desde la calle. “Estaba trabajando cuando escuché algo que caía, y luego vi la torre colapsar de manera diagonal”, relató Queen Paglinawan, empleada de una heladería cercana.

Restauración millonaria y una investigación por posible negligencia
La Torre dei Conti estaba cerrada desde 2007 y atravesaba una restauración valuada en 6,9 millones de euros, que incluía trabajos de conservación, nuevas instalaciones eléctricas y de agua, y la creación de un museo. El tramo de obra donde ocurrió el accidente, presupuestado en 400.000 euros, estaba casi terminado.
Según las autoridades, antes de iniciar la última fase en junio, se realizaron estudios estructurales y pruebas de carga que confirmaron la estabilidad de la torre. Sin embargo, tras el derrumbe, fiscales italianos se presentaron en el lugar y abrieron una investigación por posibles cargos de negligencia y lesiones.
El dolor de la comunidad y el recuerdo de una víctima
El presidente rumano, Nicusor Dan, lamentó la muerte de Stroici y envió sus condolencias a la familia. “Profunda tristeza”, escribió en sus redes sociales.
