On today’s episode of The Blindspot, I dive into the protests erupting in Los Angeles—how they sparked, how they escalated into full-blown riots, and what the Trump administration did in response, including the deployment of federal troops. I break down California’s reaction, Gavin Newsom’s posture, and how the nation is processing—or failing to process—what’s happening on the ground. This isn’t just about LA; it’s about the collision of immigration politics, federal authority, and the American street. Buckle up—this one’s loud.
