Trump Deploys 2,700 Additional Troops to Los Angeles Amid Immigration Protests
President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to Los Angeles, escalating military presence in response to three days of protests triggered by federal immigration raids across the city.
The deployment comes after initial protests erupted Friday following the arrest of more than 40 immigrants in workplace raids, with demonstrations intensifying over the weekend as crowds blocked major freeways and set autonomous vehicles ablaze. Local law enforcement responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash-bang grenades, while Monday's protests remained largely peaceful with thousands gathering at City Hall.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom have strongly opposed the military deployment, arguing it unnecessarily escalates tensions and poses public safety risks. Police Chief Jim McDonnell stated his department was capable of handling the demonstrations and that the uncoordinated arrival of Marines presents "significant logistical and operational challenges." California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit challenging Trump's authority to deploy National Guard troops without the governor's request, marking what appears to be the first such federal activation since President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to protect civil rights marchers in Alabama in 1965.
At Least 9 Dead in Graz School Shooting as Police Secure Austrian Campus
At least nine people, including seven students, were killed Tuesday morning in a school shooting at the BORG university school in Graz, Austria, according to local authorities.
The gunman opened fire in two classrooms before taking their own life, Mayor Elke Kahr confirmed during a press briefing. Police launched a major operation after gunshots were reported around 11:30am local time, evacuating the entire school and establishing a secure perimeter around the Dreierschuetzengasse area.
Austrian police have declared the situation secure with no further danger expected, as authorities continue searching the building and treating injured students at the nearby Helmut List Hall.
Parents of escaped students have been permitted to reunite with their children at designated safe meeting points. The tragic incident occurs just days before the tenth anniversary of a previous Graz shooting on June 20, 2015, which claimed three lives and left lasting trauma in the local community. Interior ministry officials have confirmed multiple fatalities while investigators work to determine the full scope of casualties and circumstances surrounding the attack.
Greta Thunberg Expelled from Israel Following Gaza Flotilla Interception
Israel deported climate activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday following the seizure of a Gaza-bound aid ship she was aboard, with the Foreign Ministry confirming her departure on a flight to France before returning to Sweden.
Thunberg was among 12 passengers on the Madleen, an aid vessel organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to protest Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza and highlight the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory. Israeli naval forces intercepted the ship without incident approximately 200 kilometers off Gaza's coast on Monday, bringing it to the port of Ashdod under military escort.
The seizure has sparked international legal disputes, with rights group Adalah and Amnesty International condemning Israel's actions as violations of international law, arguing the vessel was in international waters bound for Palestinian territorial waters. Israeli officials defended the interception as consistent with international law, calling the flotilla a "publicity stunt" and referring to the ship as a "selfie yacht" carrying minimal aid.
Of the 12 activists detained, four including Thunberg agreed to immediate deportation, while eight others refused and face court proceedings within 96 hours. The incident occurs amid Israel's 20-month military campaign in Gaza, which has killed over 54,000 Palestinians according to Gaza health officials, while the ongoing blockade has left the territory's population almost entirely dependent on international humanitarian assistance.
