Los Angeles protests continued into the night. The demonstrations, which began Friday after ICE officers executed search warrants at multiple locations in the city, including a clothing warehouse, continued throughout the day and spread. In response, President Trump signed a memo on Saturday ordering 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles County, the first time since 1965 that the National Guard was activated in a state without the request coming from the state’s governor. On Sunday, Gov. Gavin Newsom called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind the order, writing that the deployment was “a serious breach of state sovereignty that seems intentionally designed to inflame the situation.” Just after 9pm PT on Sunday, the LAPD declared various gatherings downtown as an unlawful assembly.
Trade talks between the US and China begin in London today. And each side is bringing its wish list. American trade officials will press their Chinese counterparts to ease export controls on rare earth minerals and the magnets containing them. For its part, China wants the US to lift recent restrictions on its ability to buy jet engines and other technology products. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will lead the American side. The negotiations aim to build on the progress made between the two countries in Geneva in May, when they agreed to a 90-day pause on some of the aggressive tariffs they had imposed on each other this year. The talks are expected to run through Friday.
