Trump admin updates: Trump calls for expanded deportations in LA, NYC and more

President Donald Trump, visiting Fort Bragg to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday, spoke at length about the protest in Los Angeles and his administration's response -- including the deployment of National Guardsmen and Marines, despite objections from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Trump again claimed, without evidence, that paid "insurrectionists" and "criminal invaders" are seizing the city.

"Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third world lawlessness here at home, like is happening in California," Trump said. "As commander in chief, I will not let that happen. It's never going to happen. What you're witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order and on national sovereignty carried out by rioters bearing foreign flags with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country."

"This anarchy will not stand," Trump said.

President Donald Trump, delivering remarks at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, repeatedly swiped at the Biden administration over the renaming of the military base to "Fort Liberty." The name change came after a Congressional Naming Commission created by Congress recommended name changes for U.S. military installations named after Confederate generals and leaders.

"Fort Bragg, it shall always remain. That's never going to be happening again," Trump said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed an order earlier this year authorizing the name change.

President Donald Trump spoke about the military parade in Washington, D.C., this weekend and issued a stark warning to protesters.

"For those people who want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force," he said, adding that these were people who "hate our country."

President Donald Trump on Tuesday was asked if he would use the Insurrection Act as a response to the protests in Los Angeles over his administration's immigration crackdown.

"If there's an insurrection, we would certainly invoke it. We will see," Trump responded.

"There were areas of Los Angeles last night where you could call it an insurrection," he later added. He again claimed, without evidence, that the protesters are "paid insurrectionists."
