    An Unforgettable Week in California Politics
    Jun 13 2025
    After protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles, President Trump went over Governor Newsom’s head to activate the California National Guard troops.

But just hours later, an appeals court temporarily paused that decision until a hearing next week. Plus, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly pushed out of and handcuffed during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles.
