LA Riots Breaking: Mayor Bass Slams Trump’s Marine Invasion as Immigration Protests Turn Volatile

As immigration protests erupt across Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass has sharply criticized President Trump’s decision to deploy 700 U.S. Marines and thousands of National Guard troops to the city, calling it a dangerous and provocative overreach. The protests, initially sparked by federal immigration raids, have escalated into volatile confrontations, with tear gas, rubber bullets, and widespread chaos in downtown LA. Mayor Bass accused the Trump administration of turning Los Angeles into a "test case" for authoritarian crackdowns, blaming federal militarization for inciting further unrest. California Governor Gavin Newsom has also denounced the move as unconstitutional and has filed legal challenges against the deployment, arguing that it violates state sovereignty. #LARiots2025 #LosAngelesRiots #ImmigrationProtests #AntiICE #LARiotsLive #LAProtests #ICERaids #NationalGuard #TrumpRiotsResponse #KarenBass #CaliforniaRiots #MarineDeployment #ProtestFootage #DemocratsVsTrump #LARiotsExplained Also Read Violence Erupts During Durga Idol Immersion In Bahraich: One Dead, 30 Arrested As Tensions Rise :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/violence-erupts-during-durga-idol-immersion-in-bahraich-one-dead-30-arrested-as-tensions-rise-3959807.html?ref=DMDesc Karnataka Right-Wing Activist Srikanth Poojari Released From Jail :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/karnataka-right-wing-activist-srikanth-poojari-released-from-jail-3720603.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Srikanth Poojary?

‘Hamas Must Disarm First’: U.S Lone Veto Shatters UN Gaza Ceasefire Vote; Hamas Fires Back at Trump [Video]

‘Hamas Must Disarm First’: U.S Lone Veto Shatters UN Gaza Ceasefire Vote; Hamas Fires Back at Trump

The United States cast the lone veto at the UN Security Council, crushing a widely supported resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Citing Hamas’ refusal to disarm and vacate Gaza, Acting U.S. Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea declared that peace is impossible while a “terrorist group holds territory hostage.” The vote—14 to 1—left the U.S. isolated as humanitarian conditions in Gaza spiral into catastrophe. Within hours, Hamas fired back, condemning the U.S. stance and issuing a fiery statement targeting President Trump, accusing Washington of enabling "massacres and occupation." #CeasefireNow #GazaCeasefire #USVeto #UNCeasefireVote #GazaCrisis #CeasefireResolution #USBlocksPeace #UNSCVote #USVetoesCeasefire #GazaUnderAttack #CeasefireDebate #USvsUN #GazaWar #UNResolution #StopTheWar Also Read In Qatar, Donald Trump Once Again Claims He 'Helped Settle' India, Pakistan Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/in-qatar-donald-trump-once-again-claims-he-helped-settle-india-pakistan-tensions-4154237.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Rejects PM Modi's Remarks On Operation Sindoor, Calls It 'Provocative, Inflammatory Assertions' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-rejects-pm-modis-remarks-on-operation-sindoor-calls-it-provocative-inflammatory-asserti-4153615.html?ref=DMDesc IndiGo, Air India Cancel Flights To 7 Border Cities Amid India-Pakistan Tensions Despite Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indigo-air-india-cancel-flights-to-7-border-cities-amid-india-pakistan-tensions-despite-ceasefire-4151761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~

Gulf Royals Begged Trump to Halt Iran Strike? MBS, MBZ, Emir Tamim Warned Trump About War With Iran [Video]

Gulf Royals Begged Trump to Halt Iran Strike? MBS, MBZ, Emir Tamim Warned Trump About War With Iran

In a dramatic diplomatic twist, Gulf powerhouses Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar reportedly urged President Trump to stand down from launching a military strike on Iran. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani warned that such action could provoke devastating Iranian retaliation—especially against U.S. bases on Gulf soil. As fears of regional chaos mounted, the Gulf leaders pushed Trump toward diplomacy and a new nuclear deal instead of confrontation. Trump, meanwhile, told Israeli PM Netanyahu to hold back on unilateral action and hinted that a “very strong document” with Iran could be signed soon. #Trump #IranStrike #MBS #MBZ #EmirTamim #GulfDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #TrumpIranTensions #SaudiArabia #UAE #Qatar #IranDeal #TrumpForeignPolicy #NoWarWithIran #GulfStates Also Read Appeals Court Allows Trump To Continue Collecting Tariffs Under Emergency Powers Law For Now :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-continue-collecting-tariffs-under-emergency-powers-law-for-now-4167703.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Granted One Month Extension In Trump Dispute Over International Student Ban: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-granted-one-month-extension-in-trump-dispute-over-international-student-ban-reports-4167515.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~

Over 3,000 people rallied in Tel Aviv, storming Likud HQ and demanding resignations. Clashes with police led to dozens of arrests. Demonstrators blasted the government’s hostage negotiation strategy, projecting a Qatari flag on Likud HQ to protest Hamas ties.

White House Breaks SILENCE Over Hamas Agreeing To Gaza Ceasefire Deal, Says ‘Only Israel Has…’

White House envoy Steve Witkoff has denied Hamas' claim that it accepted a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. Speaking to Axios, Witkoff clarified that only Israel has agreed to the current terms, and urged Hamas to accept the proposal that remains on the table. Earlier, a Palestinian source close to Hamas had claimed the group agreed to release hostages for a 70-day truce. The contradiction casts doubt on progress toward ending the conflict, raising concerns of further delays in reaching a ceasefire. #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsrael #HostageDeal #MiddleEastCrisis #Witkoff #WhiteHouseStatement #USMediation #GazaConflict #AxiosNews #SteveWitkoff #CeasefireTalks #HamasClaimDenied #IsraelAcceptsDeal #BidenAdministration #PalestineCrisis #MideastTensions #DiplomaticStandoff #GazaHostages #TruceNegotiations #BreakingNews Also Read In Qatar, Donald Trump Once Again Claims He 'Helped Settle' India, Pakistan Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/in-qatar-donald-trump-once-again-claims-he-helped-settle-india-pakistan-tensions-4154237.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Rejects PM Modi's Remarks On Operation Sindoor, Calls It 'Provocative, Inflammatory Assertions' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-rejects-pm-modis-remarks-on-operation-sindoor-calls-it-provocative-inflammatory-asserti-4153615.html?ref=DMDesc IndiGo, Air India Cancel Flights To 7 Border Cities Amid India-Pakistan Tensions Despite Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indigo-air-india-cancel-flights-to-7-border-cities-amid-india-pakistan-tensions-despite-ceasefire-4151761.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Trump’s Qatar Jet Gift Lie EXPOSED! Luxurious Jet Was No Gift But a Secret Deal Sparked by Trump?

Donald Trump’s claim that Qatar “gifted” him a luxurious Boeing 747 has been debunked. New reports reveal it was the Trump administration that first approached Qatar about acquiring the jet as a temporary Air Force One. Sources say the deal was never a spontaneous royal offer—but a calculated negotiation initiated by the U.S. amid aircraft delays.
