In-depth: Trump's National Guard Deployment in L.A.
President Trump has taken a bold move by deploying National Guard troops in Los Angeles, defying Governor Newsom's objections. Here's the lowdown:
- Troop Numbers & Duration: Over 2,000 National Guard troops have been deployed, primarily for safeguarding ICE officials and federal properties during immigration enforcement operations, initially for 60 days. The deployment period can be extended if needed[1][3].
- Legal Disputes: Governor Newsom has taken a legal approach, filing a lawsuit against Trump and the Department of Defense. The lawsuit claims that Trump overstepped his boundaries by federalizing the California National Guard without the governor's approval. California law mandates the governor's approval for such moves[2].
- Justification for Deployment: Trump points to credible threats to federal personnel and properties as reasons for the deployment[1][2]. However, California officials argue that local authorities can effectively handle the situation[1][2].
- Implications & Controversy: The deployment could lead to increased protests and unrest in Los Angeles, potentially exacerbating political and social tensions between the federal government and California[3][5].
Weigh In:
Gen Z'ers are reportedly dismissive of the importance of saving money. An expert voices concerns that such attitudes could be hazardous to their financial health.

In an unexpected move, a financial expert has raised concerns about Generation Z's casual attitude towards saving money, warning that these practices could endanger their financial well-being, much like the entertainment world's general-news-worthy demonstrations of irrational spending can deplete savings. Meanwhile, President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, despite California Governor Gavin Newsom's objections, echoes the contentious relationship Americans have with saving funds and authority figures.
