Today’s Headlines: Protests erupted in Los Angeles after immigration raids led to 45 arrests, culminating in clashes, arrests, and Trump deploying the National Guard—without the governor's request—for the first time since 1965. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national accused of transporting undocumented migrants, while a DOJ prosecutor resigned the same day. Separately, ICE officers and deportees were found stranded in a metal container in Djibouti, dodging malaria and rockets, after a judge blocked a deportation flight. On the Trump-Musk front, Trump declared their bromance over and warned of "consequences" if Musk funds Democrats, while concerns grew over a possible White House security breach from an unmonitored Starlink installation. The Supreme Court handed two pro-DOGE rulings—allowing access to Social Security data and shielding internal records. Meanwhile, a 22-year-old Trump campaign alum was put in charge of distributing anti-terrorism funds. And finally, a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs has sickened 79 people across 7 states.
