Despite the ongoing groundswell of protest, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has pledged to perpetuate the Trump administration's draconian immigration crackdown.

A federal judge's temporary restraining order, which had declared the deployment of the National Guard during protests unlawful, was subsequently stayed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The judicial injunction, narrowly tailored, pertained exclusively to National Guard units deployed post-protest outbreak, leaving the deployment of Marine Corps personnel unaffected. Governor Gavin Newsom, concurrently urging an immediate cessation of troop assistance in immigration raids, lauded the judge's circumscribed order.

Concurrently, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly defended the President's actions, asserting them to be entirely within the purview of his office; protests persisted nationwide, with immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles serving as a bellwether for similar operations in other communities; notwithstanding this opposition, Governor Noem stressed the unwavering resolve of federal authorities.
