The first day of a planned three -day test is marked today to determine if the US military illegally committed civil law enforcement authorities When he was deployed in Los Angeles with President Donald Trump.
Calm Mikhail Zinshteyn He explains that the Federal District Court in California will deal with the issue that stems from the court case in June Gavin Newpom, filed against Trump after President Federalizes the National Guard of California in response to protesters against immigration attacks in LA
State lawyers say the military violates federal law, which restricts the use of military in civil conditions. They point out that if the military can accompany agents to apply immigration during their raids, it sets a precedent, which allows it to accompany other law enforcement agents while performing their duties, such as federal food safety inspectors.
The Trump administration says that what the military has done in LA is not considered law enforcement. And since the law limiting military commitment is also a criminal statute, it cannot be called by the state, since this case is a civil case.

- Conflict of Atkins’ interests?: Former state Senate leader and current governor candidate Tony Atkins is married to the owner of a consulting firm, Lesar Consultants Development. Nearly half of the company’s main clients last year hired lobbyists to influence government policy, and the State Agency hired the company in 2028 to help California develop homes at affordable prices. However, according to the rules of conflict of interest in California, these contracts can be regarded as problematic: Atkins has the same ownership of her husband’s assets through marriage, which means that she earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from enterprises that could soon fight for her swing if she was elected manager next year.

Trump’s cooling effect on international students
Some international students attending a college in California live In fear and censorship As the threat of deportation is emerged under the Trump administration, writes Emewodesh Eshete on Calmatters’ College journalism networkS
As part of its efforts to reduce immigration and fight against alleged anti -Semitism, Trump issued an executive order in January, leading to hundreds of international students who lose their status as a student. Although many have been restored in April after challenging the order in court, some international students in California fear that this will be repeated.
Some have told Emewodesh that they have changed their involvement in campus activities, revised the topics that include in their research projects and deleted their presence on social media.
Campus institutions also respond to the freezing effect: the editor-in-chief of the UC Davis student newspaper, for example, said the outcome was more open to removing articles in the name of protecting the state of international students.
