SAN FRANCISCO — Thousands of people marched through San Francisco’s Civic Center and Mission neighborhoods on Monday night in protests that were “overwhelmingly peaceful,” police said.Demonstrators rallied against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids across the country and expressed solidarity with immigrant communities, CNN affiliate KGO reported.“At the very end of the night, two small groups broke off and committed vandalism and other criminal acts,” the San Francisco Police Department said.Police said they detained multiple people who refused to comply with orders, made arrests, and are currently addressing one unresolved situation.“I’m deeply concerned about what’s going on in Los Angeles and all around the country.

Tensions flare in LA as Trump doubles National Guard deployment
LOS ANGELES — US President Donald Trump has deployed another 2,100 National Guard members and 700 US Marines, in what the authorities have dubbed Task Force 51 meant to "provide continuous coverage of the area" as unrest in Los Angeles continued into its fourth day.Tensions between Washington and California officials have grown as demonstrators took to the streets to protest a series of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests mostly targeting migrant workers in Los Angeles.The initially peaceful protests turned violent after heightened tensions, leading law enforcement to use tear gas and rubber bullets and shutting down the centre of Los Angeles as an "unlawful assembly area".Trump has since deployed some 2,000 US National Guard troops to maintain order...

Protesters outside US Embassy in Mexico City call for end to immigration raids across the border
MEXICO CITY — Protesters in Mexico City staged a demonstration outside the US Embassy on Monday, calling for an end to sweeping immigration raids across the border.Video captured by Reuters showed people waving Mexican and US flags and burning an effigy resembling US President Donald Trump.“We cannot remain silent as the Trump administration escalates its war on our communities in the United States,” said activist Alejandro Marinero from Migrant Organization Aztlan.“Immigration policy is not a party issue, but a class issue. It is the tool of a system that seeks to divide us, exploit us and keep us in the shadows to ensure its profits at the expense of our humanity,” he told Reuters. — CNN

About 700 Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
LOS ANGELES — More than 700 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, and the troops will join the thousands of National Guard members who were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or LA’s mayor.The deployment of the full Marine battalion marks a significant escalation in Trump’s use of the military as a show of force against protesters, but it is still unclear what their specific task will be once in LA, sources told CNN. Like the National Guard troops, they are prohibited from conducting law enforcement activity such as making arrests unless Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, which permits the president to use the military...

RFK Jr sacks entire US vaccine committee
WASHINGTON — US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, has removed all 17 members of a committee that issues official government recommendations on immunizations.Announcing the move in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Kennedy said that conflicts of interest on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (Acip) were responsible for undermining trust in vaccinations.Kennedy said he wanted to "ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible."Doctors and health experts have criticised Kennedy's longstanding questioning of the safety and efficacy of a number of vaccines, although in his Senate confirmation hearing he said he is "not going to take them away."On Monday he said he was "retiring" all of the Acip...

Police arrested a 15-year-old suspect at the scene, the attorney general's office said.Uribe's wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, called on the nation to pray for his survival.

Trump says relationship with Musk is over
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said his relationship with Elon Musk is over."I would assume so, yeah," Trump told NBC News on Saturday, when asked if he thought the pair's close relationship had ended. He replied "No" when asked if he wished to mend the damaged ties.The comments were Trump's latest since the epic fallout between him and Musk unraveled on social media.It came after the tech billionaire — who donated millions to Trump's election campaign and became a White House aide — publicly criticized the president's tax and spending bill, a key domestic policy.A majority of Republicans have fallen in line behind the president. Vice-President JD Vance said that Musk had "gone so nuclear" and may never be welcomed back into...

US brings back El Salvador deportee to face charges
WASHINGTON — Kilmar Ábrego García, a 29-year-old from El Salvador mistakenly deported in March, has been returned to the US to face prosecution on two federal criminal charges.He has been accused of participating in a trafficking conspiracy over several years to move undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country.El Salvador agreed to release Ábrego García after the US presented it with an arrest warrant, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday. His lawyer called the charges "preposterous".The White House had been resisting a US Supreme Court order from April to "facilitate" his return after he was sent to a jail in El Salvador alongside more than 250 other deportees.In a two-count grand jury indictment, filed in a Tennessee court last month and...

Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Judge halts Trump’s proclamation to suspend new international student visas at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE — A federal judge has halted President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block international students from coming to Harvard University.The temporary restraining order issued late Thursday by US District Judge Allison Burroughs comes hours after the university urged the judge to step in on an emergency basis to block a proclamation Trump signed a day earlier that suspends international visas for new students at the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university. Foreign students make up roughly a quarter of the school’s student body.The brief order from Burroughs said if she didn’t intervene now, the school would “sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties” over the challenge to Trump’s edict. The judge said her...
