The Trump administration on Tuesday said it plans to seek the dismissal of a civil case ordering them to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the U.S., arguing in a new court filing that the case is now "moot," given that he is now back in U.S. custody.In the filing, lawyers for the Trump administration told U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis that they plan to submit an official motion to dismiss the case on "mootness grounds" by June 16.Justice Department officials said they have "done exactly what plaintiffs asked for and what this court ordered them to do" that is, to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. from El Salvador, where he was deported under the Alien Enemies Act in March in what Trump officials acknowledged was an administrative error.But the filing is likely to do little to quell the mounting legal fight surrounding Abrego Garcia's detention and efforts to secure his return from Salvadorian custody.FEDERAL JUDGE JAMES BOASBERG FINDS PROBABLE CAUSE TO HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT OVER DEPORTATION FLIGHTSUpon being returned to the U.S., Abrego Garcia was immediately sent to Tennessee to face federal charges related to transporting undocumented immigrants in the U.S., stemming from an arrest years earlier.Court documents show the Justice Department filed the charges against Abrego Garcia on May 21 prompting a flurry of fresh questions as to when the investigation and impaneling of a grand jury would have taken place.Lawyers for Abrego Garcia described the timing of his return from Salvadorian custody as "pure farce," and told Xinis in a filing of their own late last week that they plan to file a sanctions motion against the government by Wednesday.TRUMP'S REMARKS COULD COME BACK TO BITE HIM IN ABREGO GARCIA DEPORTATION BATTLEThey noted that lawyers for the Trump administration were continuing to tell the court, even six days after he was indicted, that they did not have the power to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S.They also noted that, in their view, a contempt charge and sanctions against the government were warranted reminding Xinis that the Maryland court still has jurisdiction over the civil case.Xinis, for her part, suggested last month that the Trump administration could be held in contempt for their refusal to comply with the court describing their lack of candor in the discovery proceedings as beating a "frustrated and dead horse."JUSTICE KAGAN SNAPS AT TRUMP LAWYER IN MAJOR CASE: 'EVERY COURT HAS RULED AGAINST YOU'Trump administration lawyers sought to dispel the notion that they intentionally flouted the court on Tuesday, describing plaintiffs characterization of their actions as "desperate and disappointing.""To be sure, the parties have had pointed disagreements on discovery issues, including because defendants could not share state secrets and other protected materials that would have demonstrated their good-faith compliance with the courts orders," the administration said Tuesday."But the proof is in the pudding defendants have returned Abrego Garcia to the United States just as they were ordered to do."Xinis, an Obama appointee, previously criticized the administration for failing to comply with her courts requests for information in the case, and accused officials in a blistering eight-page order of submitting"vague, evasive and incomplete" responses that she said demonstrated "willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations."

As more homeowners embrace the trend of "Let It Bloom June" a natural successor to the popular "No Mow May" movement there is growing momentum on social media in support of wild lawns.While these campaigns were launched to support pollinators and biodiversity, some experts claim that skipping the mower could actually be good for your health.Mowing, raking, digging and lifting might seem like harmless weekend chores, but according to Dr. Michael Policastro, a board-certified emergency physician and medical toxicologist in Cincinnati, Ohio, they can be physically taxing.BEACH DAYS BENEFIT MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING AS VISITS PROVIDE 'SEA THERAPY'"Lawn and garden work is physically demanding and can lead to muscle strains, back pain and joint injuries," Policastro told Fox News Digital.The repetitive motions, awkward postures and sometimes heavy loads involved in yard work can strain the body in ways that accumulate over time, the doctor cautioned.Even the act of pushing a lawnmower may not be as harmless as it looks."Vibrations from lawnmowers can strain your lower back, and poor posture while pushing or steering equipment can lead to pain in your back, knees and wrists," Policastro noted.ANTI-AGING BENEFITS LINKED TO ONE SURPRISING HEALTH HABITFailing to warm up or stretch before tackling the lawn only raises the risk of fatigue or injury, which can result in chronic pain over time.Chemical pesticides and herbicides involved in lawn care can carry their own set of risks, especially when airborne, Policastro cautioned.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Pesticide sprays can also drift in the air, making it easy to breathe in harmful chemicals without realizing it," he said.There could be a psychological upside to ditching the mower and embracing a natural yard.Several mental health professionals agreed that lively, unmanicured spaces can foster mindfulness and well-being."Being in a green, natural environment can promote mindfulness and a sense of calm," Greg Adelstein, a licensed mental health counselor and owner of Ellie Mental Health Clinic in Hollywood, Florida, told Fox News Digital."It also provides a sense of accomplishment and purpose, which can boost self-esteem."Letting nature reclaim the yard could also mean fewer chemicals and health hazards, some experts say.PAIN COULD BE REDUCED BY WATCHING NATURE SCENES, NEW STUDY SUGGESTSFox News Digital previously reported on a study that linked exposure to nature with a reduction in peoples experience of pain. This suggests the potential health benefits of a more natural lawn that promotes everyday access to wild plants and animals.Natural lawns and gardens can also help combat loneliness by encouraging community engagement through shared gardening or conservation efforts, according to Elena Saldamando, a licensed clinical social worker and director of Ellie Mental Health Clinic in Avalon Park, Florida.Despite the potential risks, tending to a lawn can present some benefits when done safely, experts say."Gardening promotes mindfulness and can lower cortisol levels, helping you feel calmer," Saldamando told Fox News Digital."Watching how the light hits a leaf, listening to birds chirp, feeling soil and dirt in your hands, smelling the flowers and seeing vegetables grow can be very grounding."To reduce the physical strain of mowing and other yard work, Policastro recommended taking regular breaks, using ergonomic tools and maintaining proper posture.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthIt's also important to work in a well-ventilated area and to wear a mask or respirator when handling dusty materials or applying chemicals, according to the doctor.

Just days after violent, anti-ICE riots first rocked Los Angeles, federal immigration agents announced a major enforcement operation deporting 122 illegal aliens to China, many of them convicted of crimes including murder, rape, and drug trafficking.The June 3 deportation flight, led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Dallas, was part of a nationwide push to protect American communities and restore law and order.According to an official ICE press release, the group included 96 men and 26 women, ranging in age from 19 to 68. All had final orders of removal and were held in ICE detention centers across the country.ICE ARRESTS 'WORST OF THE WORST' ILLEGAL ALIENS IN LOS ANGELES WHILE PROTESTERS ADVOCATE FOR CRIMINALS: DHSICE officials say the charter flight to China was in the interest of public safety.According to an ICE press release, many of the individuals removed had been convicted of serious felonies, including murder, rape, human smuggling, bribery, and narcotics trafficking.One man removed was a 47-year-old with a murder conviction. Another was a 27-year-old found guilty of rape. Others listed included drug dealers and smugglers."Through our interagency partnerships and coordination across ICE field offices, we have successfully removed these individuals, many who were convicted of egregious crimes," said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Dallas acting Field Office Director Josh Johnson.FEDERAL OFFICIALS SLAM DEMOCRATS FOR 'DANGEROUS' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE VIOLENT MOBS IN LA, NYC"This operation not only enhances the public safety of our communities across the U.S. but also strengthens national security. Our colleagues at ICE come to work every day to identify, arrest and remove illegal aliens who attempt to circumvent our nations immigration laws."The flight also reflects the tough stance President Trump has taken in his second term when it comes to China.The Trump administration has increased tariffs on Chinese imports, blamed Chinese companies for fueling the U.S. fentanyl crisis, and clamped down on tech exports. In response, Beijing has issued warnings to its citizens about traveling to American cities affected by civil unrest and imposed its own trade penalties.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAmericans with information about immigration violations or criminal activity are urged to contact ICE at 866-DHS-2-ICE or submit a tip online at ice.gov.

An Ohio school administrator, who was married with children, was sentenced to three years in prison on Tuesday for having sex with a teen student in her office.Emily Nutley, a 43-year-old former counselor who worked with at-risk students at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, pleaded guilty to sexual battery in April, and must also now register as a Tier 3 sex offender every 90 days during her life, WLWT's Karin Johnson reports.Although Ohio law does not mandate a prison term for such a crime, the victim's family called for the maximum possible sentence. Ohio asked for a five-year sentence, while the defense asked for probation.A sentencing memorandum obtained by the Cincinnati Enquirer said text messages showed Nutley initiated the sexual relationship with the male student in late 2023. Nutley had texted the student, who was 17 at the time, sent nude photos of herself to him and had at least four sexual encounters with him.HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER CAUGHT IN UNDERCOVER STING OPERATION AFTER EXPLICIT CHATS WITH TEEN GIRL ONLINE: POLICEWhen the teen tried to end things with Nutley, who was 42 at the time, the documents state that "she threatened to kill herself" and paid him to keep quiet about the relationship.The student told his parents about the situation on Oct. 7, 2024, and met with school administrators the following day, the newspaper reported. On Oct. 11, 2024, the school fired Nutley after an internal investigation.In the memorandum, prosecutors likened Nutley to "most pedophiles," saying that she "preyed on the most defenseless person she could find."ALABAMA KINDERGARTEN TEACHER, 49, ACCUSED OF ENTICING TEEN INTO BATHROOM FOR SEXUAL ENCOUNTERNutleys attorney, Joe Suhre, filed a separate sentencing memorandum, describing her as a "broken woman" who suffered from mental illness and alcohol abuse and was a survivor of sexual abuse.Suhre said that when the sexual encounters with the student began, Nutley was depressed over the death of her brother and the dissolution of her marriage. He said a psychologist treating her found her behavior to be tied to "unresolved trauma."Prosecutors wrote that the student "will pay the price for the rest of his life" over Nutleys actions.Since her conviction in April, Nutley has been in a treatment program for those convicted of sex crimes, Suhre said.

FBI director Kash Patel praised his agents as well as those from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for taking down a major drug operation in Atlanta, resulting in the removal of 33 firearms and over 252 kilograms of drugs valued at over $9 million, from the streets.The FBI, alongside the DEA and state and local authorities executed three search warrants last Thursday, resulting in the arrest of 47-year-old Bartholomew Keeton Harralson.A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Harralson with three drug trafficking and weapon possession crimes related to the drug trafficking operation.U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said Harralson is charged with possession with intent to distribute controlled substances, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. If convicted, he faces at least 40 years in prison and the possibility of life behind bars.BONDI ANNOUNCES ONE OF LARGEST FENTANYL SEIZURES IN US HISTORY"Im proud of the outstanding work by our agents and grateful for the strong partnership of the DEA in this joint effort," Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This was a major takedown dozens of weapons, large quantities of fentanyl and meth, and key members of a sophisticated drug network taken off the streets. Together, weve dealt a serious blow to those profiting off addiction and reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to protecting American communities."FBI Special Agent In Charge Paul Brown said the FBI and DEA executed search warrants at three locations one in Atlanta, one in South Fulton, and another in Douglas County.On June 5, law enforcement executed a federal search warrant at Harralsons Atlanta-area residence, and once inside, they located over 56 kilograms of fentanyl, 84 kilograms of methamphetamine, nearly 10 kilograms of heroin, and about four kilograms of cocaine, all in the form of powders and hundreds of thousands of pressed pills.NORTH CAROLINA COUPLE NABBED AFTER DEPUTIES FIND ENOUGH FENTANYL TO POTENTIALLY KILL 13,000 PEOPLE: POLICELaw enforcement also found nine firearms at the residence, including one that was converted to operate as a machine gun, $145,000 in cash, and a book titled, "How to Avoid Federal Drug Conspiracy & Firearms Charges." The Department of Justice said Harralson was arrested at the scene.A second search warrant was executed at Harralsons Douglasville residence, where law enforcement allegedly found two large pill press machines capable of pressing up to 25,000 pills per hour, and three hydraulic presses used to form kilogram-sized bricks of narcotics.The search also resulted in the discovery of over 37 kilograms of fentanyl, about 13 kilograms of methamphetamine, over eight kilograms of heroin and more than six kilograms of cocaine.BONDI, PATEL ANNOUNCE SEIZURE OF OVER $509M IN COCAINE LINKED TO CARTELSThe drugs, the DOJ alleged, were in the form of powder and hundreds of thousands of pressed pills.Additionally, law enforcement searched a machine shop behind Harralsons Douglasville residence and allegedly found about 1,375 pounds of binding agent used to press pills, 564 punch dies to mark the pills, 19 firearms, four drum-style magazines and a significant amount of ammunition.Brown told reporters that two ballistic style vests were allegedly found in one of the residences"Right now, we have an American dying every seven minutes from drug overdoses, and homicides occur twice each hour," Brown said. "Our new FBI director, Kash Patel, has given our workforce a simple mandate, crush violent crime, and this is a big step toward that end in metro Atlanta. This major operation is shut down, and its just one example of the work the FBI and DEA agents continue to do each and every day."DEA Atlanta Acting Special Agent in Charge Jae E. Chung told reporters the operation resulted in the largest fentanyl seizure to date in the state of Georgia.The 97 kilograms of fentanyl that was seized has the potential to kill about 48 million Americans, Chung said"The DEA and our partners are working hard day in and day out to protect their communities from the dangers and violence associated with drug trafficking," he said. "DEA's priorities are to save American lives and to keep our communities safe. We will continue to leverage every partnership, every resource available to ensure the drug dealers who distribute poison, like fentanyl and other illicit drugs through our communities are brought to justice."The FBI and DEA conducted the take-down as part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that streamlines efforts and resources within the Department of Homeland Security to not just crack down on illegal immigration but also achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and protect our communities from the "perpetrators of violent crimes."Chung told reporters the large quantities of drugs discovered in the bust showed they were being provided by cartels in Mexico.

The majority of House Democrats voted in favor of allowing non-citizens to participate in Washington, D.C. elections on Tuesday.The House of Representatives passed on a bill led by Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, to prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in elections in the nations capital.It passed 266 to 148, with 56 Democrats joining Republicans in passing the measure. One Democrat voted "present," while 148 voted against the bill."I believe strongly in not having federal overreach, but we have jurisdiction, Congress has jurisdiction over Washington, District of Columbiaand we dont like to utilize our jurisdiction and our authority, but in this case, theyve gone too far," Pfluger told Fox News Digital in an interview before the vote.D.C.s progressive city council passed the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act in 2022, granting non-U.S. citizens the ability to vote in local elections if theyve lived in the district for at least 30 days.SCOOP: HOUSE GOP MEMO HIGHLIGHTS REPUBLICAN WINS IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'Noncitizens can also hold local elected office in the D.C. government.The local measure has been a frequent target of GOP attacks, with Republican national security hawks raising alarms about the possibility of hostile foreign agents participating in D.C. elections.But progressive Democrats like Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., who spoke out against the bill on Tuesday afternoon, have dismissed that as an implausible scenario."Republicans claim that Congress has a constitutional duty to legislate on local D.C. matters, but this is historically and legally incorrect. Republicans legislate on local D.C. matters only when they think they can score political points, such as by demonizing immigrants," Frost said during debate on the House floor."They only bring it up to the floor when they think they can score political points, taking away the democratic rights of people here in D.C. and home rule."Frost also argued that it was "highly unlikely" foreign officials would vote in those elections, claiming they would have to "renounce their right to vote in their home country" and because "DC has no authority in federal matters."But Pfluger, who spoke with Fox News Digital before the vote, was optimistic that it would get at least some Democratic support.He noted that 52 Democrats voted for the bill when it passed the House in the previous Congress. It was never taken up in the formerly Democrat-controlled Senate, however."Its hard to go back to your district as a Democrat and say, yeah, I want foreign agents to be able to vote in our elections Oh yeah, its not federal elections, some may say. But it has an impact on the way the city is run," Pfluger said.MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE"This could be Russian embassy personnel, they could be Chinese embassy personnel a number of folks. It's just wrong. It goes against the fabric of our society," he added.Another bill receiving a vote on Tuesday is legislation that would grant D.C. police the ability to negotiate punishments via collective bargaining, and would help shield the capitals police force from at least some liability by installing a statute of limitations against the Metropolitan Police Department.That legislation was introduced by New York Republican Rep. Andrew Garbarino.

A rare type of cancer is growing among millennials and members of Generation X, new research shows.Diagnoses of appendix cancer have tripled in the U.S. for people born between 1976 and 1984 and it has quadrupled for those born between 1981 and 1989.The study was published on Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.COMMON MENOPAUSE MEDICATION MIGHT PREVENT BREAST CANCER WHILE TREATING HOT FLASHESResearchers from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center analyzed data from the National Cancer Institutes Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program to arrive at these findings."When you take these alarming rates that we are seeing for appendiceal cancer across generations, together with the fact that one in every three patients diagnosed with appendiceal cancer is diagnosed under the age of 50, these point to a timely need for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of appendix cancer," said lead author Andreana Holowatyj, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, in a press release from the university.FDA APPROVES FIRST AI TOOL TO PREDICT BREAST CANCER RISKCancer of the appendix is rare, affecting only about one or two people per million each year in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Even so, doctors emphasize the importance of seeking medical attention if symptoms emerge."Ruling out the possibility of an appendix cancer diagnosis, or diagnosing it early, is important for this cancer as we continue to learn what factors may be contributing to this worrisome trend," Holowatyj said.Appendiceal cancer forms in the appendix, which is a small organ located in the lower right abdomen.There are two main types: epithelial appendiceal cancer, which involves the cells of the lining of the appendix, and neuroendocrine appendiceal cancer, which results from the growth of neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors of the appendix, the NCI states.In early stages of the disease, most people do not notice symptoms.As the cancer progresses, common symptoms include pain, a bloated feeling, a mass in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, and sudden feelings of fullness while eating, according to the above source.Common treatments for this type of cancer include surgery to remove the appendix and any other affected organs, as well as chemotherapy to kill any metastasized cancer cells.Based on the study findings, the researchers are calling for increased awareness among both the public and the medical community.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"As incidence rates in younger generations are often indicative of future disease burden, these results support the need for histology-specific investigations of appendiceal adenocarcinoma, as well as increased education and awareness of appendiceal adenocarcinomas among healthcare providers and the public," the study stated.There are no standard screening guidelines or risk factors for appendix cancer, which means up to half of diagnoses occur after the disease has already spread, according to the researchers.Five-year survival rates for appendix cancer range from 10% to 63%.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe new study received funding from the Appendix Cancer Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (ACPMP) Research Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

Pete Rose may finally be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2028.December 2027 is the first time MLB's all-time hits leader will officially be considered for a plaque in Cooperstown after Major League Baseball announced last month that those on the game's ineligible list are taken off after they die.The Hall ruled in 1991 that it would follow MLB's ineligible list and not consider anyone on it. Now that Rose is off, he is eligible for induction through the Hall's Classic Era Committee, which does not meet for another 2 years.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIf and when Rose gets in, he will not be there to celebrate it. He died in September at the age of 83. For Alex Rodriguez, who has a compelling Cooperstown case of his own, it's bittersweet."It makes me happy and sad at the same time because Pete was such a friend, and I know that his heart ached a lot because he wasn't in," Rodriguez, who worked with Rose at FOX, said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "I wish more than anything that that could have been done while he was alive."You know, I always say that eulogies should be done when you're living, not when you're dead, because some of the nicest things about people are never heard by the principal. But, you know, hopefully his family enjoys it, and I know that he's somewhere watching it. And I hope that he's happy and proud. We are, certainly."EX-YANKEES STAR ALEX RODRIGUEZ SAYS AARON JUDGE 'NEEDS' AN OCTOBER MOMENT TO BE A TRUE FRANCHISE LEGENDThe former New York Yankees star, though, isn't focused on whether the argument for Rose would eventually help his own cause, considering his performance-enhancing drug involvement."Its not my argument to fight. I'm just trying to do the best I can with my life and the back nine of my life and trying to do things the right way. I've learned from my mistakes. I've moved on. I hope to get in one day, but, again, I think I'll let other people fight that fight for me," he said.Rose admitted to gambling in 2004 after years of claiming his innocence. He died in September and predicted 10 days before his death he would not make the Hall of Fame until after he died, if at all.It was determined that Rose gambled on the Reds, only to win, while he was both a manager and a player. It was reported more recently, though, that Rose also gambled on baseball before he became a manager.He was ruled ineligible in 1989 and was never reinstated while he was alive despite numerous attempts.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Accusing the federal government of intentionally provoking rioters and "turning the military against American citizens," California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, filed an emergency motion to stop President Donald Trump from further using the National Guard and Marines to quell the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.Fiery riots and looting have overtaken much of Los Angeles over the last several days following a series of ICE operations in the city. Despite the riots, Newsom said that the federal governments military response has been unnecessary and that the protests are "largely nonviolent."Newsom and California Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the motion in a federal court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday. The motion asks the court to grant the state a temporary restraining order keeping Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense from the "use of the military and the federalized National Guard to patrol communities or otherwise engage in general law enforcement activities," which they say "creates imminent harm to State Sovereignty, deprives the State of vital resources, escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest."In a Tuesday statement, Newsoms office said that the motion is charging the Trump administration with violations of the U.S. Constitution and Title 10 authority, "not only because the takeover occurred without the consent or input of the Governor, as federal law requires, but also because it was unwarranted."'DELUSIONAL' HILLARY CLINTON SAVAGELY MOCKED FOR HER RESPONSE TO LA RIOTSIn the statement, Newsoms office blamed the ICE agents for the riots, saying that their operations were carried out "without providing notification to law enforcement and engineered them to provoke community backlash."The next several days saw unrest and violent confrontations between anti-ICE rioters and law enforcement, while the Department of Homeland Security urged California state leaders to "call off their rioting mob."A DHS statement put out Saturday read, "Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property.It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) 2 hours to respond."In response to the escalating chaos, Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. Later, he also ordered 700 U.S. Marines into the city to restore order.FORMER LA COUNTY SHERIFF CALLS CALIFORNIA'S RIOT RESPONSE 'FECKLESS' ON STEROIDSThe move has been met with intense pushback from Newsom and other California Democrats.Newsoms office said that though "some violent and illegal incidents were reported," the protests "were largely nonviolent and involved citizens exercising their First Amendment right to protest."The statement claimed "the protests did not necessitate federal intervention, and local and state law enforcement have been able to control the situation, as in other recent instances of unrest.""The federal government is now turning the military against American citizens," Newsom said in the statement.The governor claimed that Trumps "sending trained warfighters onto the streets is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.""Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President," said Newsom.NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS ARRIVE IN LOS ANGELES AMID VIOLENT ANTI-ICE PROTESTSNewsom has sued the Trump administration for deploying the military to Los Angeles. The lawsuit said Trump "unlawfully bypassed" Newsom by putting National Guard troops under federal control without the governor's permission.The California attorney general, meanwhile, has claimed the president is "looking for any pretense to place military forces on American streets to intimidate and quiet those who disagree with him.""Its not just immoral its illegal and dangerous," said Bonta.Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump administration and the Department of Defense for comment but did not immediately receive a response.Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Trump warned his administration is "not playing around."Trump added that he had called California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday and criticized his handling of the riots."A day ago, I called him up to tell him got to do a better job. He's done a bad job causing a lot of death and a lot of a lot of potential death," Trump said of Newsom.POSSE COMITATUS ACT AT CENTER OF TRUMP-NEWSOM NATIONAL GUARD DISPUTE IN LATrump offered further details on his exchange with Newsom to Fox News' John Roberts. Trump told Roberts that his first call to Newsom was not picked up, but that they did connect and speak for 16 minutes when he called again."I told him to, essentially, 'get his ass in gear,' and stop the riots, which were out of control," Trump told Roberts.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"If we didn't send out the National Guard and last night, we gave him a little additional help. Los Angeles would be burning right now. Los Angeles would be not a lot different than what you saw take place in California, in Los Angeles just a little while ago," Trump added in his statement to reporters, referring to this year's wildfires.Trump went on to describe the rioters as "animals," and argued they are paid agitators rather than real protesters."They look in your face and they spit right in your face. They're animals. And these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid troublemakers they're agitators. They're paid," Trump said. "These are paid insurrectionists or agitators or troublemakers. You can call it whatever you want. And we ended it, and we have in custody some very bad people, some very bad people."

Legendary sportscaster Bob Costas slammed several media organizations for how they have dealt with President Donald Trump as he spoke at an event at Syracuse University on Monday night.The former voice of baseball and the Olympics hit out at ABC News decision to settle with the president over George Stephanopoulos comments about the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit. Costas also needled Paramount over attempts to settle a "60 Minutes" lawsuit. He described the ABC News settlement and the reported Paramount offer as a "ransom."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMCostas said media companies make mistakes and have "blind spots and misplaced narratives," but he said he doesn't think anyone should make the jump to make the correction for Trump if it only benefits him, according to Mediaite."But if the answer to that is MAGA media, if the answer to that is Donald Trumps view of the world, which is only through a prism of what benefits him, there are no higher ideals," Costas said. "There are no principles at work other than what benefits him. Ill stay with where we are without correction if the correction is what Donald Trump represents."And what also has happened here is that, because he is the president, to a certain extent, who he is and what he does, and what is done in his name, has been normalized so that responsible journalists have to pretend that theres always two sides to this. There really isnt two sides to much of what Donald Trump represents."TERRY MORAN OUT AT ABC NEWS FOLLOWING X POST ATTACKING TRUMP, STEPHEN MILLERCostas suggested that networks didnt need someone to defend Trump or the White House on issues in the name of objectivity or being balanced."Look, if someone is contending that the Earth is flat, in order to appear objective, you are not required to say, Well, maybe it might be oblong. No, its not," he said. "Certain things are just true. And regrettably, something thats true in America right now is that the president of the United States has absolutely no regard, and in fact has contempt, for basic American principles and basic common decency."Costas received the Fred Dressler Leadership Award, which "is given to individuals or organizations that have made distinct, consistent and unique contributions to the publics understanding of the media," according to the Newhouse Schools website.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
