Trump considering 'Insurrection Act' amid crisis in Los Angeles

On Tuesday, June 10, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would invoke the Insurrection Act if he determined there was an insurrection underway amid street protests in Los Angeles. He defended his decision to deploy National Guard troops to the city, which he ordered on June 8, during a conversation with reporters at the White House. The deployment came amid anti‑ICE protests. California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the move and announced he was suing the Trump administration.
