Newsom Sues Trump for Deploying National Guard Against Anti-ICE Rioters.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) plans to sue the Trump administration over the federalization of the state’s National Guard following violent riots in support of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.

👥 Who’s Involved: Gov. Gavin Newsom, President Donald J. Trump, rioters in Los Angeles, federal agents, and White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.

📍 Where & When: Los Angeles, California; protests escalated over the weekend, with Newsom’s lawsuit expected to be filed on Monday.

💬 Key Quote: Newsom: “Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He’s exacerbated the conditions… an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

⚠️ Impact: Protests against federal immigration enforcement turning violent prompted Trump to deploy 2,000 National Guard members to restore order and protect federal property. Newsom claims the move violated state sovereignty.

IN FULL:

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is preparing to sue the Trump administration after President Donald J. Trump federalized California’s National Guard to respond to violent riots in Los Angeles over the weekend. Far-left protestors and illegal immigrants demonstrating against federal immigration enforcement actions turned destructive, prompting Trump to activate roughly 2,000 National Guard members to protect federal property.

The protests began Friday after federal agents detained dozens of individuals suspected of being in the United States illegally. By Sunday night, what started as demonstrations escalated into riots, with agitators clashing with Los Angeles police and federal law enforcement, blocking roads, and setting vehicles ablaze before the National Guard was activated.

Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, Newsom alleged: “Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He’s exacerbated the conditions… an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.” He claimed the federal government bypassed established protocols requiring coordination with state governors before deploying the National Guard. “There’s a protocol, there’s a process. He didn’t care about that,” Newsom claimed, adding that the state would challenge the action in court.

The Democrat governor argued that Trump’s actions exacerbated tensions, accusing him of “putting fuel on this fire.” Newsom’s lawsuit, expected to be filed Monday, will focus on the claim that the federalization of the National Guard violated state sovereignty.

Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended the administration’s actions, stating, “President Trump rightfully stepped in to restore law and order because of Gavin Newsom’s feckless leadership and his refusal to stop the violent attacks on American law enforcement.”

Jackson said of Newsom’s allegations, “It’s a bald-faced lie… Everyone saw the chaos, violence, and lawlessness—unless, of course, Gavin Newsom doesn’t think any of that is a problem.”

Scores of Arrests After Anti-ICE Violence Spread to New City.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Police in San Francisco arrested 60 people during a violent protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday evening.

👥 Who’s Involved: Protesters, San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), NorCal Resist, and ICE.

📍 Where & When: Outside ICE headquarters in San Francisco, spreading downtown; began Sunday evening and ended early Monday morning.

💬 Key Quote: An SFPD spokesman stated that an “unlawful assembly” was declared after people in the crowd “became violent” and committed crimes ranging from “assault to felony vandalism.”

⚠️ Impact: Two officers sustained injuries, a firearm was recovered, and significant property damage occurred, including smashed storefronts and vandalized police cruisers.

IN FULL:

San Francisco police arrested 60 rioters late Sunday during a “solidarity” protest targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which escalated into violence and vandalism. This was organized to complement ongoing riots in Los Angeles, also directed at federal law enforcement.

The San Francisco protest began outside ICE headquarters, where demonstrators carrying Palestinian and other foreign flags and socialist placards gathered in support of pro-illegal immigrant agitators rioting against ICE raids in Los Angeles. As police arrived, the crowd reportedly moved toward officers, forming a line and pushing against them. Projectiles, including eggs and a glass bottle, were thrown at the headquarters and law enforcement officers, leading to a 40-minute standoff.

The San Francisco Police Department declared the gathering an unlawful assembly at 7:33 PM, citing escalating violence and criminal behavior. According to a police spokesman, offenses ranged from assault to felony vandalism. Juveniles were among those detained, and a firearm was recovered at the scene.

By 8:30 PM, many protesters had dispersed from ICE headquarters but spread into downtown San Francisco, where acts of vandalism continued. Buildings were tagged with graffiti, police cruisers were destroyed, and Chase Bank and Fendi storefronts were smashed.

Police began making arrests after corralling several dozen agitators who refused to disperse. Two officers sustained injuries during the unrest, one of whom required hospital treatment. The protest was organized, in part, by NorCal Resist, a group opposing deportation efforts.

In Los Angeles, President Donald J. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to confront rioters, a move opposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D). This marked the first such federal deployment to California since 1965, during Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidency.

Gov Newsom Challenges Trump’s Border Czar to ‘Arrest Me’ Amid LA Riots.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) responded to comments by Trump White House Border Czar Tom Homan, who vowed federal immigration law enforcement in Los Angeles, regardless of local resistance.

👥 Who’s Involved: Gov. Newsom, Homan, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

📍 Where & When: Los Angeles, California; statements made on Sunday.

💬 Key Quote: Newsom said, “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy, you know? I don’t give a damn. But I care about my community.”

⚠️ Impact: The exchange highlights tensions between federal immigration enforcement and California Democrats as the former attempts to carry out mass deportations and the latter attempts to obstruct them.

IN FULL:

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued a combative response Sunday evening to Border Czar Tom Homan, who warned earlier in the day that federal authorities would continue enforcing immigration laws in Los Angeles and state officials standing in the way would face obstruction charges.

Homan, a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), did not rule anything out when asked if this could extend to Governor Newsom or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. “I’ll say it about anybody,” he stated. “You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”

Newsom, who presides over a state regime with a lax or even permissive approach towards illegal immigration, responded by challenging Homan to arrest him. “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy, you know? I don’t give a damn. But I care about my community. I care about this community,” Newsom said, seemingly referring to California’s illegal immigrant population. “They need to stop, and we need to push back,” Newsom added.

Newsom’s comments come as Los Angeles has seen daily riots, including police being attacked by rioters over attempts to detain illegal immigrants, including dangerous criminals. In reaction to the violence, President Donald J. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops.

Newsom, who will leave office next year due to term limits, is widely considered a top contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.

Migrant Arrested Ahead of LA Riots Shot Up a High School Graduation Party.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Cuong Chanh Phan, a 49-year-old illegal alien from Vietnam linked to a 1994 high school party shooting, ahead of the pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, California.

👥 Who’s Involved: Cuong Chanh Phan, ICE, Governor Gavin Newsom (D), Mayor Karen Bass (D), and Phan’s victims.

📍 Where & When: Phan’s arrest occurred on June 7, 2025, as part of a wave of detentions that triggered a violent response from illegal aliens and their supporters. The shooting took place in San Marino, California, in 1994.

💬 Key Quote: “This criminal illegal alien is who Governor Newsom, Mayor Bass and the rioters in Los Angeles are trying to protect over U.S. citizens,” said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

⚠️ Impact: Phan’s arrest exposes lax immigration enforcement under Democrat leaders, reinforcing Trump’s America First push to prioritize citizen safety over illegal migrant protection.

IN FULL:

One of the illegal aliens detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ahead of the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, Cuong Chanh Phan, is linked to a 1994 mass shooting at a high school graduation party that left two teenagers dead, including a minor. The 49-year-old Vietnamese migrant “and his gang member associates” opened fire on the party in San Marino, California, after previously being asked to leave, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), leaving 18-year-old Dennis Buan and 15-year-old David Hang dead and seven others wounded.

“This criminal illegal alien is who Governor [Gavin] Newsom, Mayor [Karen] Bass and the rioters in Los Angeles are trying to protect over U.S. citizens,” the DHS said in a statement published to social media.

Phan’s decades-long presence in the U.S. without legal status underscores what critics call a failure of immigration enforcement under Democrat leadership. President Donald J. Trump’s America First agenda emphasizes securing the national borders and mass deportations to protect citizens from criminal illegal aliens. The case of Phan, who has evaded deportation for 31 years, underlines the consequences of lax immigration enforcement, with stronger measures enjoying broad support among the American public.

DATA: Majority of Americans Support Trump’s Deportation Policy.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: New survey data shows a majority of Americans support President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, illegal immigrants, and American voters.

📍 Where & When: The polling was conducted between June 4-6, 2025

⚠️ Impact: The data suggests that Americans, by and large, continue to support the Trump administration’s immigration policies, though corporate media narratives regarding “due process” do appear to be influencing poll respondents.

IN FULL:

A majority of Americans say they approve of President Donald J. Trump‘s mass deportation of illegal immigrants, with nearly half stating they believe it makes America safer. The survey, conducted by CBS News, shows only 46 percent of respondents disapprove of the Trump administration’s removal of illegal immigrants from the United States, while 54 percent approve. Additionally, just 30 percent of respondents say they believe the mass deportations make America less safe.

Notably, the data indicates that 49 percent of Americans say President Trump is currently deporting more illegal immigrants than they expected. Just 41 percent of respondents say the number of illegal immigrants removed from the country is less than they expected.

While the survey shows relatively broad support for the Trump administration’s immigration policies, over 60 percent of respondents said they believe those slated for deportation should receive a court hearing before removal. The Trump White House has contended that allowing for a court hearing for each illegal immigrant would be logistically impossible, invoking the Alien Enemies Act and other executive branch powers to speed up removals.

The National Pulse reported in April that President Trump, responding to judicial interference in deportations, stated: “A judge can’t say, ‘You know, you have to have a trial.’ The trial is going to take two years. No, we’re going to have a very dangerous country if we’re not allowed to do what we’re entitled to do. And I won an election based on the fact that we get them out.”

The America First leader has repeatedly noted the double standard in the courts, which enabled the Biden government to ignore the law and allow millions of unvetted illegal immigrants into the country, but are now resistant to Trump’s plan to remove the illegal immigrants swiftly.

LAPD Chief: Migrant Riots ‘Escalating,’ ‘Increasingly Worse and More Violent.’

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, California, have escalated, with protesters using violent tactics against law enforcement.

👥 Who’s Involved: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, protesters, President Donald J. Trump, and Democratic officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and Senator Adam Schiff.

📍 Where & When: Los Angeles, California; riots began over the weekend.

💬 Key Quote: “This violence that I’ve seen is disgusting, it’s escalated now since the beginning of this incident,” said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell.

⚠️ Impact: Dozens of arrests have been made, and tensions have risen as National Guardsmen have been deployed to address the violence.

IN FULL:

Violence in Los Angeles stemming from pro-illegal immigrant protests has intensified, according to Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Jim McDonnell. Speaking during a press conference, McDonnell described the escalating aggression, which includes protesters shooting commercial-grade fireworks at officers.

“This violence that I’ve seen is disgusting, it’s escalated now since the beginning of this incident,” McDonnell said. “Tonight we had individuals out there shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers, that can kill you,” he warned. McDonnell added that the LAPD has adjusted its tactics in an effort to detain those responsible and hold them accountable.

The riots, which began over the weekend, have seen demonstrators tearing up sidewalks, throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles, and setting fire to California Highway Patrol cars. Over 40 arrests were made on Friday alone as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted immigration raids and search warrants.

McDonnell expressed qualified support for ICE, describing them as a “fellow law enforcement agency” with a clear mission. “To the people who are not happy with the fact that ICE is in the community doing what ICE does—I respect ICE for being a fellow law enforcement agency,” he said.

When asked about President Donald J. Trump’s decision to deploy 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the unrest, McDonnell acknowledged that his department would typically exhaust other options before involving the National Guard. However, he admitted that the situation may require reassessment, saying, “Looking at tonight, this thing has gotten out of control.”

The deployment of National Guardsmen has drawn criticism from prominent Democrats, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and Senator Adam Schiff, who called the move “unprecedented.” Former Vice President Kamala Harris also complained about Trump sending troops to take on the riots, characterizing the deployment as “a dangerous escalation.” However, the America First leader’s supporters say the alternative is allowing the mob to dictate ICE operations.

Dems Launch Summer Riots 2.0.

Over the weekend, anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles devolved into violent riots while Democrat lawmakers looked the other way—forcing President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard.

The details: The violence began after ICE conducted coordinated raids that led to the arrests of roughly 45 illegal aliens. Rioters were filmed hurling objects at ICE, setting cars on fire, vandalizing property, looting, blocking highway traffic, and waving foreign flags (mostly the Mexican flag).

The organizers: Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), one of the lead organizers of the demonstrations, received nearly $34 million in grants from California and has strong ties to the Democrat party.

  • Signs seen at the demonstrations were printed by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which has been linked to Elias Rodriguez, who shot and killed two Israeli staffers last month in D.C.

What the left is saying: LA Mayor Karen Bass blamed Trump for the riots, saying: “What we’re seeing in Los Angeles is chaos that is provoked by the administration.”

  • The politicized LAPD called the riots “peaceful protests.”
  • Senator Cory Booker repeatedly characterized the chaos as “peaceful protests.”

Trump sends in the troops: Trump activated the California National Guard, deploying 2,000 to Los Angeles on Sunday morning to end the violence. On Saturday night, Trump wrote on Truth Social:

  • “If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!”
  • The U.S. Northern Command also said it had 500 U.S. Marines ready to quell the riots if needed.
  • Newsom responded on X, writing: “Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos.” When he wrote this, LA had already been burning for 48 hours.

Zoom out: The illegal aliens that were arrested by ICE in the raids that sparked the riots included murderers, sex offenders, and other violent criminals.

The latest: Sunday night, the LAPD had to declare an “unlawful assembly” as rioters refused to disperse. And late Sunday night, President Trump urged Los Angeles to “BRING IN THE TROOPS.”

Reuniting the right: After a week-long public fight with Trump, Elon Musk took to X to share the president’s Truth Social posts with “🇺🇸🇺🇸” as the caption.

Real talk from G: I know violence and chaos are key tenets of the Democrat playbook. But most Americans will not sympathize with thugs waving Mexican flags while they bash police with pieces of concrete. The left played this hand in 2020, and now they’re overplaying it—empowering President Trump to send in troops to end the mess.

Statue of Christ Covered for Muslims to Perform Mass Outdoor Prayer.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Several thousand Muslims descended on a small Italian town to pray outdoors, covering up a statue of Jesus Christ while they did so. 

👥 Who’s Involved: Former town mayor Anna Cisint, League (Lega) party lawmaker Rossano Sasso.

📍 Where & When: The incident happened on June 6 in the town of Monfalcone, Italy.

💬 Key Quote: “Italy is constantly retreating, and it is a serious mistake; we should work to bring people back to the churches instead of giving such important places to Islam.” — Anna Cisint.

⚠️ Impact: Cisint has called for the government to regulate Islamic prayer and worship across Italy, stating that the constitution and not the Quran should guide Italians.

IN FULL:

Thousands of Muslims in a small European town covered up a statue of Jesus Christ while praying outdoors to mark the Islamic Eid al-Adha festival, sparking outrage from its former mayor. As many as 4,000 Muslims gathered in the Italian town of Monfalcone, praying outside the Christian Shrine of Marcelliana, while covering up a statue of Christ with a cloth.

Former mayor Anna Cisint, now a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), called the incident “unacceptable” and added, “Italy is constantly retreating, and it is a serious mistake; we should work to bring people back to the churches instead of giving such important places to Islam.”

Church attendance in Italy is shockingly low for the country, which is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. Statistics show that while around eight in ten Italians are Catholic, just 19 percent attend Holy Mass weekly.

Former mayor Cisint went on to state that Islamic worship in Italy needs to be seriously regulated, saying, “Here, the Constitution rules, not the Quran.”

Don Flavio, the local Roman Catholic parish priest, wanted to verify the incident but said, “No one should have done something like this.”

Member of the Italian parliament for Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini’s League party, Rossano Sasso, also expressed outrage over the affair, saying, “It is time for the Church, the whole Church, to understand that this is not dialogue between religions, but submission. Submission to a religion that considers us infidels and inferior.”

Public prayers by Muslims are increasingly common across Western Europe and have been seen in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Last year, Muslims in London, England, rioted and attacked police during Eid celebrations.

Porn Boss Pleads Guilty to Sex Trafficking Charges.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Michael James Pratt, the founder of the defunct porn website GirlsDoPorn, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking after years on the run.

👥 Who’s Involved: Pratt, his co-conspirators, and hundreds of women, many of them teenagers.

📍 Where & When: Operating out of San Diego from 2012 to 2019; Pratt fled in 2019, was arrested in Spain in 2022, and was extradited to the U.S. in 2024.

💬 Key Quote: “Pratt made ‘millions of dollars’ off the adult content,” according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

⚠️ Impact: Pratt faces life in prison; his co-conspirators have also received significant sentences.

IN FULL:

Michael James Pratt, the founder of the now-defunct GirlsDoPorn website, has pleaded guilty to sex trafficking charges in San Diego, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed. Pratt, 42, admitted to orchestrating a scheme that lured hundreds of women, many of them teenagers, into performing in pornographic videos under false pretenses.

Pratt and his associates operated the scheme from 2012 to 2019, targeting young women through deceptive advertisements for modeling opportunities. Victims were reportedly promised that the videos would remain private and inaccessible in the United States. However, according to prosecutors, the content was uploaded online, garnering millions of views and generating over $17 million in revenue for Pratt.

In 2019, Pratt fled the United States and evaded law enforcement for over three years before being apprehended in Spain in December 2022. He was extradited to the U.S. in March 2024.

Court documents reveal that Pratt and his team employed coercive tactics to force the women to participate. Victims who expressed a desire to withdraw were allegedly threatened with lawsuits, canceled travel arrangements, or the public release of their videos.

One victim, an 18-year-old, responded to a Craigslist ad for “Bubblegum Casting” and was assured that her video would only be shared with private clients in Australia. Despite these assurances, the video was posted online nine months later, and her pleas for its removal were ignored.

Pratt’s co-conspirators have also faced justice. Co-founder Matthew Isaac Wolfe was sentenced to 14 years in prison earlier this year, while Ruben Andre Garcia, a male performer in the videos, received a 20-year sentence in 2021. Cameraman Theodore Gyi was sentenced to four years in 2022, and office manager Valorie Moser awaits sentencing later in 2025.

Pratt is scheduled for sentencing on September 8, 2025, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment for his role in the trafficking operation.

The case comes as other major pornography sites have also faced accusations of sex trafficking and worse. Pornhub, one of the largest porn websites online, has been accused of profiting from sex trafficking. The site’s parent group, Aylo Holdings S.A.R.L., has admitted to receiving payments from criminal actors who coerced women into sex acts and posted the videos without their permission.

ICE Captures Illegal Alien Attempting to Join ISIS After Biden Released Him.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A Colombian illegal alien, released into the U.S. under the former Biden regime, attempted to join the Islamic State and has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

👥 Who’s Involved: The 35-year-old Colombian illegal alien, ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

📍 Where & When: Entered the U.S. in Lukeville, Arizona on July 14, 2024; arrested in the Boston area on May 22, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “This Colombian alien entered the country illegally and was released under the Biden administration. He went on to engage with an ISIS recruiter.” — ICE spokesman.

⚠️ Impact: The arrest highlights concerns about the Biden government’s handling of border security and the threat posed by migrants with potential ties to terrorism.

IN FULL:

A Colombian illegal immigrant, released into the United States under the former Biden regime, has been apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after attempting to join the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group. The arrest was part of a broader operation targeting illegal aliens in the Boston area, according to officials.

The 35-year-old man entered the U.S. illegally via Lukeville, Arizona, on July 14, 2024. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) initially detained him due to a lack of valid documentation, placing him in removal proceedings. However, he was later released into the country’s interior.

In May 2025, ICE was informed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that the individual had been in contact with a social media account reportedly facilitating travel and combat training for ISIS recruits. The account had requested videos of the man pledging allegiance to the terrorist organization.

On May 22, 2025, ICE and the FBI arrested the suspect in the Boston area during “Operation Patriot,” a larger initiative that resulted in nearly 1,500 arrests. An ICE spokesman commented on the case, stating, “This Colombian alien entered the country illegally and was released under the Biden administration. He went on to engage with an ISIS recruiter.”

This development follows the recent apprehension of a suspected al-Qaeda member in Philadelphia. This Tajikistan-born Russian citizen entered the U.S. in 2023 and was similarly released into the country. More recently, an Egyptian illegal alien was involved in a firebombing attack against a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado.

Former Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitke previously testified about a surge in “significant interest aliens” (SIAs)—individuals with potential terrorism ties—entering the U.S. under the Biden regime. Heitke revealed that the San Diego sector saw SIA arrests skyrocket from an annual average of 10-15 to over 100 in 2022, with even higher numbers in subsequent years. He also alleged that the administration barred him from publicly discussing the issue.

Concerns have been raised about the administration’s policies, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reporting earlier this year that hundreds of individuals with ties to terrorist organizations had been paroled into the U.S.

Court Says Trump CAN Ban Fake News AP From White House.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A federal appeals court has stayed a lower court order that forced President Donald J. Trump to allow the Associated Press (AP) to have White House access. The judicial panel found that the Trump White House is likely to ultimately succeed against the litigation brought by the AP.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, the Associated Press, and the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

📍 Where & When: The ruling was issued on Friday, June 6, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “The White House is likely to succeed on the merits because these restricted presidential spaces are not First Amendment fora opened for private speech and discussion,” the justices found.

⚠️ Impact: The stay order means the Trump White House can move forward with their decision to bar the Associated Press from White House events and press pool privileges on Air Force One and other presidential venues.

IN FULL:

A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald J. Trump can ban the Associated Press (AP) from White House access. On Friday, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit handed down an order staying a lower court ruling that had ordered President Trump to restore press access to the AP, stating: “The White House is likely to succeed on the merits because these restricted presidential spaces are not First Amendment fora opened for private speech and discussion.”

“The White House therefore retains discretion to determine, including on the basis of viewpoint, which journalists will be admitted,” Circuit Court Justices Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas write, adding: “Moreover, without a stay, the government will suffer irreparable harm because the injunction impinges on the President’s independence and control over his private workspaces.”

The ruling follows a Federal District Court decision in April to issue an injunction against the Trump White House’s ban on the AP. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden, at the time, determined that the ban was “contrary to the First Amendment” and ruled that the Trump White House must “put the AP on an equal playing field as similarly situated outlets, despite the AP’s use of disfavored terminology.” The AP was initially banned from the White House over the publication’s refusal to use the official government term, the “Gulf of America,” instead of the “Gulf of Mexico.”

Friday’s decision marks a significant legal win in the ongoing lawfare efforts by the Democratic Party and allied organizations to undermine President Trump and his agenda. Federal judges have controversially intervened in the America First leader’s efforts to deport dangerous and criminal illegal immigrants from the country, with Trump allies accusing the courts of overstepping their constitutional authority and interfering with executive branch powers.
