Roughly 60 demonstrators were arrested on Friday outside the U.S. Capitol after breaching a police line of bike racks and advancing toward steps leading to the Capitol Rotunda, according to Capitol Police.According to organizers, the group of veterans and military family members planned a sit-in on the Capitol steps to protest President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and active-duty Marines in Los Angeles to respond to anti-ICE protests, as well as a military parade scheduled for Saturday.The parade on Saturday also comes on Trump's 79th birthday. The president promised this week that anyone who protests at the parade will be met with "very heavy force," although White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later said that Trump supports peaceful protests.A group of about 75 protesters were demonstrating peacefully Friday night at the Supreme Court, just across the street from the Capitol, according to a statement from Capitol Police.ICE ARRESTS BROTHER OF ANTI-ICE ACTIVIST LEADER IN MASSACHUSETTSA short time later, about 60 people began to leave the area, so officers began establishing a perimeter using bike racks to keep the protesters away from the Capitol."A few people pushed the bike rack down and illegally crossed the police line while running towards the Rotunda Steps,"Capitol Police said in its statement. "Our officers immediately blocked the group and began making arrests."Officers then began arresting the roughly 60 demonstrators.PROTESTERS HAULED AWAY AS ANTI-ICE PROTESTS CONTINUE IN LOS ANGELES DESPITE MAYOR'S ORDERAll the arrested protesters will be charged with unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line, while some will face additional charges, including assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.Two arrestees were transported to a local hospital for further treatment.The protest was organized by two advocacy groups, About Face: Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace."We want a future where we invest in care for veterans, in health care, and in education, not where we spend $50 million on a parade," Brittany Ramos DeBarros, an Army combat veteran and Organizing Director of About Face: Veterans Against the War, said in a statement to WJLA.The Army will celebrate its 250th birthday on Saturday despite expected rain, with as many as 200,000 people expected to attend various events around the Capitol in addition to the military parade, which is estimated to cost around $45 million and will feature soldiers and military equipment, including tanks and airplanes.

Archaeologists recently made numerous "spectacular" discoveries at a long-forgotten temple to an Ancient Greek god, according to local officials.The Department of Antiquities in Cyprus shared a Facebook post about the latest excavation on April 28. The site, the Sanctuary of Apollo at Frangissa, was first discovered in the 19th century before it was subsequently lost, the group said.Apollo, the god of archery and the son of Zeus, was venerated both in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. He was one of the 12 Olympian deities in Greek mythology, said to have lived upon Mount Olympus along with his father Zeus and sister Artemis.ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH STRANGE HEAD DEPICTING ROMAN GOD BENEATH CATHOLIC BASILICAA German archaeologist named Max Ohnefalsch-Richter found the sanctuary in 1885, which the Department of Antiquities described as "one of the most spectacular finds of his time.""[It was] a richly furnished rural sanctuary of Apollo," said the post, which was translated from Greek to English. "It was furnished with a lavish abundance of votive statues numbering in the hundreds, some of which were of colossal dimensions."But the 19th-century excavation was hastily done and Ohnefalsch-Richter covered the sanctuary up with dirt to preserve it. It was soon forgotten."As the excavator completely covered the sanctuary, including the statue bases and walls, its location was eventually forgotten," the Facebook post noted.ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER WELL-PRESERVED TEMPLE, CULT CENTER DATING BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPTGerman archaeologists began a new search for the site in 2021. It was eventually found, and the latest excavation of the site recently wrapped up.This year, excavators found numerous statues of massive proportions, as well as votive statues that were found in the backfill area from 1885."In the process, the walls of the dedication courtyard and over 100 statue bases, some of colossal size, were uncovered in large areas," the department said."Apparently in 1885 [the votive statues] were not recognized as artifacts in the rush," the post continued. "They fundamentally expand our knowledge of this sacred place."Archaeologists also recently found "completely new types of statues" that were previously unknown. They plan to restore them to their original appearance.ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER GOLDEN 'TONGUES' AND 'NAILS' IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TOMB: 'REMARKABLE AREA'"The discovery of clearly larger-than-life feet, for example, means that the existence of colossal male limestone figures from archaic times can now be proven," the press release added."Such larger-than-life figures were previously only known here in Frangissa made from terracotta, including the famous Colossus of Tamassos in the Cyprus Museum exhibition."The release went on, "In addition, evidence of other previously unknown types of votive objects was also found, such as marbled glass beads or Egyptian amulets made of faience [tin-glazed pottery]."The statues also contained inscriptions in particular languages that give historians an idea of how old they were possibly as far back as 2,700 years ago.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"The discovery of two bases with inscriptions is spectacular," the statement read. "One is inscribed with several local Cypro-Syllabic characters, while the other refers in Greek letters to the Ptolemies, the Hellenistic rulers of Egypt who also controlled Cyprus at the time.""It shows that the sanctuary played an important role not only in archaic times (7th and 6th centuries B.C.), but also after the end of the Cypriot kingdoms."Archaeologists also believe that the site went through a significant expansion during the end of the Cypriot kingdoms, which can be observed in the architecture.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"During this time, a large peristyle courtyard was built next to the votive offering room, which was probably used for banquets."The department noted that the latest excavations "open up the possibility of exploring the architecture of the sanctuary, which was only inadequately documented by Ohnefalsch-Richte."The statement also said that "apparently" the "court had several phases of construction and utilization.""The further investigation of the preserved remains thus promises to provide important, far-reaching insights that will bring back to life the ritual behavior of past times and allow them to be seen in their original spatial setting."

Side effects from GLP-1s can vary but one lesser-known reported outcome of the popular weight-loss medications is hair loss or thinning.Some hairstylists have confirmed an uptick in clients who complain about losing hair while on weight-loss journeys.This includes Ashley DiMatteo, owner of Ashley Lauren Beauty Lounge in Westchester, New York, and Briana Delvecchio, a color specialist and hairdresser at DiMatteos salon. The two spoke with Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview (see the video at the top of the article).IS OZEMPIC RUINING YOUR TEETH? WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT IMPACT ON DENTAL HEALTH"There has definitely been an increase in clients coming in with hair loss," DiMatteo said, noting that it ranges from gradual to fast, and from thinning out to completely losing hair.Delvecchio agreed that shes had "a few" clients come in reporting thinner and drier hair, which she suspects could be due to weight-loss drugs.The hairstylist, who herself takes a GLP-1 drug, said there may be a few reasons for hair changes including new medications, vitamin deficiencies and weight loss, which can put stress on the body.Becky Watt, an Ohio hairstylist with more than 20 years of experience, said she has also noticed clients losing hair while taking weight-loss drugs."I've seen thinning and shedding, and a lot of hair coming out very easily when being washed," she told Fox News Digital. "I have not noticed any bald spots."However, she has had some clients who are taking the medications without any hair loss, Watt added.In a separate interview, Dr. Philip Rabito, an endocrinologist in New York City, explained that this reaction, called telogen effluvium, is a stress response to weight loss that affects the hair follicle.OZEMPIC, OTHER SEMAGLUTIDES LINKED TO HAIR LOSS: HERE'S WHAT TO KNOWThe response is only temporary, he noted the hair will fall out and then grow back once the weight loss stabilizes after a few months."It's a response to severe physical stress and weight loss is considered starvation," Rabito said. "It is the rapidity of the weight loss that correlates with the amount of hair loss."Before weight-loss drugs, traditional bariatric surgery would lead to the loss of 70% of excess body weight in about six months, Rabito shared which was often followed by hair loss within six to nine months."Your body doesn't understand that this is healthy weight loss your body thinks it's starving," he reiterated. "It happens to almost everyone, to some people more than others."THIS DAILY BEAUTY ROUTINE COULD BE RUINING YOUR HAIR, EXPERTS WARNThose who lose weight more repetitively are at higher risk of hair loss, Rabito said, as well as those who have an underlying thyroid issue or micronutrient deficiency typically in iron, B12 or vitamin D.These vitamin deficiencies can worsen as weight loss occurs, so it's important to work with a medical professional to balance these levels, according to the doctor."From what I have learned from talking to these specific clients, it seems that the clients that are still eating dont have the hair loss," Watt observed."It seems that my clients who say they dont have any appetite whatsoever are the ones losing the most hair," she went on. "I believe thats possibly due to lack of nutrients and protein, although I'm no doctor."DiMatteo and Delvecchio agreed that they "always" advise their clients to see their doctor for a vitamin level check."And we will also then taper their hair routine," DiMatteo said. "Basically, less is more during hair loss."The salon owner suggests keeping up with scalp treatment, reducing the use of heat, brushing from the bottom up and avoiding going to bed with wet hair."Check in with your weight-loss doctor or your endocrinologist prior to coming to us to rule out iron, vitamin D or anything that you're lacking we need to rule that out before we can help you," Delvecchio said."Then we'll tell you we need to work on your scalp health; we'll give you shampoo and conditioner that may be a little gentler for your hair.""Scalp stimulation is huge," DiMatteo added. "Rinsing with cool water helps as well. Try not to do harsher treatments in the sense of lightening or coloring spread it out as much as possible."Rabito noted that losing hair is "part of the game" he said he always warns his patients before starting their weight-loss journey that this will most likely occur and is a "mark of success.""Theyre going to lose hair," he said. "It's going to get worse before it gets better.""But as long as you get the vitamins controlled, get them adequately repleted when the patient plateaus and the weight is stable for a month or two, the body doesn't sense starvation anymore, and the body is less stressed, then the hair grows back better than ever."Watt said she often recommends a hair vitamin to her clients struggling with weight loss. "Diet also has a lot to do with it," she noted.She also recommends using a shampoo and conditioner that are formulated to resist thinning and hair loss, along with a bond-building hair product.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERDiMatteo and Delvecchio assured those who are experiencing hair loss that regrowth does take time, and that theres no need for excessive hair growth treatments.Delvecchio added, "The hair loss is temporary. It's a positive stress, and it's worth it."When previously contacted by Fox News Digital, Novo Nordisk maker of Ozempic and Wegovy confirmed that hair loss is an identified risk for semaglutide, and is listed as a side effect in the product information."In clinical trials of Wegovy, hair loss was reported in 2.5% of Wegovy-treated adult patients versus 1.0% of placebo-treated adult patients," the company spokesperson said at the time.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health."Hair loss was reported more frequently in patients with greater weight loss (20%), suggesting that the events of hair loss were potentially related to the magnitude of weight loss.""Patient safety is of utmost importance to Novo Nordisk," the statement continued. "We are continuously monitoring the safety profile of our products and collaborate closely with authorities to ensure patient safety, including adequate information on hair loss."Melissa Rudy contributed reporting.

President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are headed for another legal clash next week after the president activated the National Guard to respond to anti-immigration enforcement protests and riots in Los Angeles.The anticipated showdown will take place on Tuesday and comes after Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee, ruled Thursday night that Trumps use of the National Guard was illegal and ordered the president to temporarily relinquish control of the soldiers.Newsom, a Democrat, celebrated the ruling, saying Trump had deployed the National Guard to his state out of "vanity" and to "instill fear" and to "incite a response." But Newsom's win was short-lived as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit quickly put Breyers decision on hold in a matter of hours.The appellate courts stay will remain in place at least through Tuesday, when attorneys for the California Attorney Generals Office and the Trump administration argue before a three-judge panel about whether the court should grant a longer-term stay.RETIRED JUSTICE STEPHEN BREYER'S BROTHER ASSIGNED TO NEWSOM NATIONAL GUARD LAWSUITJudges Mark Bennett and Eric Miller, both Trump appointees, and Judge Jennifer Sung, a Biden appointee, will hear the arguments.For now, Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth can continue to deploy thousands of National Guard soldiers in California, as well as hundreds of Marines. Trump and Hegseth indicated in court papers that military forces would be used strictly to protect federal personnel and federal buildings as they faced attacks by anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rioters in recent days.Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys argued that a judge's decision to block the Trump administration from carrying out these military activities "would judicially countermand the Commander in Chiefs military directives," especially if the decision were issued through a temporary restraining order, like what Breyer issued Thursday night."That would be unprecedented. It would be constitutionally anathema. And it would be dangerous," the DOJ attorneys said.FORMER AG BARR SHREDS GAVIN NEWSOM'S 'NONSENSE' LEGAL CLAIMS AS TRUMP SENDS IN TROOPS TO QUELL LA RIOTSThe decision by Breyer, the 83-year-old brother of retired liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, was met with skepticism by some. Attorney Ed Whelan, a right-of-center former DOJ official, said in remarks online that it was "far more sweeping" than he had expected.Whelan said a significant legal fight could be brewing over the provision of Title 10 that Trump used to federalize the National Guard. Typically, presidents deploy National Guard members with a governor's consent, but the law leaves room for debate on whether the governor's permission is required. Whelan speculated that Trump could attempt to use another provision of Title 10, the Insurrection Act, to bypass the court proceedings."10 USC 252 seems to give him much freer authority," Whelan said, citing the insurrection law.The National Guard fight comes against the backdrop of Trump hosting a major military parade in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. The event, slated to cost tens of millions of dollars, will showcase U.S. military power and commemorate the Armys 250th birthday. Trumps birthday is also that day.JUDGE MULLS TRUMP'S AUTHORITY OVER NATIONAL GUARD, WARNS US IS NOT 'KING GEORGE' MONARCHYTrumps critics have coined the day "No Kings Day" and are planning to voice their objections to the presidents show of force at protests around the country on Saturday. California alone is expected to see dozens of protests.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWhile Trump is in the nations capital, the protesters will be "literally everywhere else," Ezra Levin, one of the organizers, told the left-leaning Contrarian on Substack."Its the 250th anniversary of the Continental Army, which was formed to push back against a mad king," Levin said, noting the protests would be peaceful and serve as a recruitment tool in the "pro-Democracy fight" against Trump.

The 81st anniversary of the famous U.S.-led D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, was recently commemorated.Less well-known are the battles during the days and weeks that followed in Normandy, which helped secure the massive beachhead, so the allies could go on and defeat Nazi Germany in World II.One of those clashes was at a bridge over a small river near the town of Sainte-Mre-glise. Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division landed near there early on the morning of June 6, 1944.They had to hold the position against Germans threatening American forces who came ashore at Utah beach, one of the main landing sites.REPORTERS NOTEBOOK: REMEMBERING COURAGE ON THE 81ST ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAYOne of those was Iowa-born 31-year-old U.S. Army Staff Sgt. William Owens. For three days, as his unit was cut down in combat from 45 to just 12 men, he bravely helped fight off the Germans. He fired from three different machine gun positions, threw hand grenades, commanded bazooka teams and moved from foxhole to foxhole, coordinating action. The actions of him and his men eventually knocked out four German tanks, killed 275 German soldiers and stopped the Nazis dead in their tracks. It was hailed by historians as a key battle of the Normandy invasion.On a recent day alongside the river in the now green and peaceful countryside, after years of research and lobbying at the Pentagon and in Congress, Owens was recognized for his valor in a ceremony during which his honors were upgraded to Distinguished Service Cross, the second most important medal the Army can bestow.Chris Donahue, the commanding general of the U.S. Army in Europe and Africa, told Fox News Owens actions were "incredibly important. What Owens did is the exact model that all of us try to live up to."ON 81ST ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY, ONE US NAVY VETERAN'S SON IS THE FIRST AMERICAN POPEOwens died at the age of 54 in 1967. His youngest daughter, British-raised Susan Marrow, said, "I dont have words to describe how full my heart is and how much it means to me."His great-grandson, Harris Morales, was also proud to be there, saying, "without a doubt," Owens was a brave guy. As for the new recognition of Owens, he added, "It means everything, and I still dont believe it. Its still not real for me yet."This comes at a time the world remains in turmoil from Ukraine to the Mideast and beyond. While 81 years seems like a long time ago, the heroism and inventiveness displayed by Owens then is still seen as relevant today."It is important," Morales said. "I dont think 81 years or any time is too long."Speaking from a military standpoint, Gen. Donahue noted, "Were in the middle of a transformation, and were going to continue to do that so we live up to what they have done."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAs for lessons learned then, Owens daughter had a simple answer, saying, "Do unto others as you would have them do onto you."Sometimes, as in the case of Staff Sgt. William Owens, the dangerous behavior of "others" means acting with the greatest and sometimes brutal gallantry.

Actor Justin Hartley says his show"Tracker" is successful because the lead character that he plays in the series is comfortable with his masculinity."One of the things I really love about Colter and the way we've built him is that hedoesn't apologize for his masculinity," Hartley said in an interview with Men's Journal published on June 5.The show is centered on the character Colter Shaw, a survivalist who tracks down missing people.Hartley says that the shows portrayal of manhood is what has made it successful.LIBERAL AUTHOR TELLS 'THE VIEW' THERE'S 'NO SUCH THING' AS TOXIC MASCULINITY"I think that's what people are looking for," the actor said. "You're asking yourself, 'What kind of people do I want to hang out with?' And particularly: 'What kind of male friends do I have in my life that I really value?' I think we've crafted a character that is so emotionally evolved, and he really does want to get to the root of why people do things."The show is currently in its second season with a third seasonreportedly in the works.The specific reason Hartley thinks his character has resonated so much is because of how Shaw balances his masculinity."He's a man through and through," Hartley said. "And that doesn't mean you have to be the loudest person in the room and know every single f-----g thing and throw tables around and scream and shout and yell and smoke and drink. He's all about talking with people. Reading people. Understanding them. He's an all-encompassing man. He's not just a guy. He'sa man."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAlso playing into the success of the show is the work the team has put into the characters development."The facts are that [executive producer] Ken Olin and I set out to do a show that was in fact a throwback," Hartley said. "We wanted a new spin on a procedural, meaning our character would evolve over time. He would not just remain the same exact person every single week. We were hopeful people would like it. People ended up loving it. I think there's a huge appetite for this kind of show."Hartley is well-known for his role in the CBS series, as well as other hit series, including the NBC drama "This Is Us," "Passions," "Smallville," and "The Young and the Restless."

Democrats and their publicity partners at the broadcast TV networks have often preached about how President Donald Trumps actions like his pardons are an affront to the "rule of law" in America. But when it comes to Trumps attempt at mass deportations, the media-Democrat alliance lines up fiercely against any attempt to remove immigrants who have ignored the rule of law.Riots broke out on June 6 after several immigration raids in the Los Angeles area by U.S. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement enraged the left, as so-called "peaceful protesters" tried to block entrances and exits for the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building downtown, where detainees were being processed.In a legal sense, it is not merely a "protest" to obstruct law enforcement. Its a crime. It is not "protest" to throw bricks at ICE agents or police, or set cars on fire. But the broadcast coverage of this unrest sounded disturbingly like the excuse-making for the George Floyd riots of 2020, when violent mobs were described as a "racial reckoning."CNN, MSNBC INSIST ANTI-ICE DEMONSTRATIONS HAVE BEEN MOSTLY PEACEFUL DESPITE WIDESPREAD UNRESTOnce again, the TV networks used the mantra that the protests are "mostly peaceful," like it was a tiny sideshow, and Trump calling out the National Guard to quell the violence was treated as a provocation that worsened the crisis.The original, radical "idealism" of these protests that ICE shouldnt be deporting anyone, like deportations were tyrannical served as the rhetorical underpinning of the biased coverage. Any idealism from the Republican side favoring that "rule of law" and for protecting law enforcement personnel from violent attacks was dismissed as Trumpian blather.By Monday morning, the network morning shows kicked into anti-Trump gear. ABC "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos warned viewers that Trumps ordering in the National Guard "is the first time since 1965 that a presidents ordered troops in over the objections of the governor," and "California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the action as inflammatory, called on the administration to rescind it, said they were manufacturing a crisis."LIBERAL MEDIA DOWNPLAYS LA RIOTS, DISMISS VIOLENCE AS ISOLATED WHILE TOUTING 'PEACEFUL' ANTI-ICE PROTESTSWhen Democrats cant keep control of their cities, pointing it out is "manufacturing a crisis." Its like Stephanopoulos never stopped being a Democrat press spokesman.Its subtle wordplay, but the networks have a sneaky habit of not putting the party label on Trumps Democrat opponents. One might say their party should be obvious from their opposition, but in a setting of violent action, the avoidance of party labels was far too common, especially at ABC.On Wednesday night, June 11s "World News Tonight," reporter Matt Gutman announced "in an emotional press conference, 37 mayors coming together" against Trump, no party labels needed. Arturo Flores, the mayor Huntington Park, was described as "a combat veteran, appealing to the military." Flores bizarrely argued about illegal immigrants: "These are Americans." As a legal matter, thats untrue, but ABC put that concept on screen: "Officials: Remember, You Are Dealing With Americans." Thats just "Officials," no party ID needed.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONFlores also lit into Trump as "a dictator" and "a tyrant." Nobody ever fact-checks politicians who call Trump a dictator. Gutman then added Newsom attacking Trump for calling out the National Gard, without the party label.LA NEWS ANCHOR CLAIMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING 'FUN' WATCHING CARS BURN, RIOTS 'RELATIVELY PEACEFUL'On Thursday night, ABC evening anchor David Muir repeated the tactic. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was abruptly interrupted at a press conference by "California Senator Alex Padilla," and he was forced to the ground and handcuffed. This transparently partisan stunt was treated as deadly serious, complete with a Padilla soundbite full of quavering moral outrage about how Latino farm hands and cooks are treated by the feds, with no mention of party.Late in that Thursday story, ABC reporter Matt Rivers did highlight the party when "Democratic Governors" lectured House Republicans at a hearing about their laxity on illegal immigration. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told Viewers that Trump engaged in a "flagrant abuse of power."ABC did not show Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz being pressed in that hearing about his smears in a recent commencement speech where he accused ICE agents of being "Trumps modern-day Gestapo." Nobody "fact checks" that, and no Republican question or concern from that hearing was mentioned by ABC.This is why Republicans and independent voters are shunning ABC, CBS and NBC as talking-point assembly lines for the Democrats.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM TIM GRAHAM

Thousands of people are expected to rally in hundreds of cities across America on Saturday to protest the Trump administration and counter the presidents military parade in Washington, D.C. to mark the Armys 250th birthday. Today is also Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the U.S. flag on June 14, 1777.The counter-protesters are framing their demonstrations under the slogan "No Kings," describing it as a "day of defiance" against Trump and his allies while other have been calling for the president to be "dethroned."FLORIDA SHERIFF FIRES OFF BLUNT MESSAGE TO VIOLENT ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTERS: 'WE WILL KILL YOU GRAVEYARD DEAD'They say they are defending democracy and are opposed to what they see as Trumps authoritarian rule.One of their key issues is Trumps mass deportation programs, which they oppose. Last week, protests against Trumps immigration crackdown turned violent in Los Angeles, with Trump calling in the National Guard to quell the chaos.Trump will be in the nations capital to watch the parade, which will feature around 6,600 troops and 150 military vehicles, along with historical reenactments and performances by military bands. Trump wants the parade to demonstrate American military strength and patriotism.Several overlapping organizations are organizing the rallies, including Indivisible, a progressive group formed in 2016 I the wake of Trump's first election win, the American Civil Liberties Union, and 50501, a group formed earlier this year in response to President Trump's second administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.505051 has organized several protests this year, including the April 5 "Hands Off" protests, encapsulated a broad range of grievances against the Trump administration, including healthcare and civil liberties concerns.Demonstrators are trying to portray President Trump as a king who rules with unchecked power and bypasses laws and court rulings."Theyve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services," the 50501 site reads. "The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings."The flagship march and rally will be taking place in Philadelphia, where the phrase "No Kings But Us" is a common phrase seen on flags and pennants outside of homes.Previously, it was a non-political, revolutionary symbol of anti-monarchy and American pride. Recently, its been adopted by the anti-Trump organization 50501. ANTI-TRUMP MILITARY PARADE DEMONSTRATIONS PUT MAJOR CITIES ACROSS AMERICA ON HIGH ALERTTrump on Thursday brushed off the protests' central theme that he is a king."I dont feel like a king, I have to go through hell to get stuff approved," Trump said. "Were not a king at all, thank you very much," he added.Trump said that any demonstrators who turn up to protest the military parade will be met by a "very big force.""[These] people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force."Protesters see the military parade as an extension of Trumps authoritarian rule and seek to counter it. They say its a politicized use of military symbolism and a visual display of power reminiscent of autocratic regimes.They want to contrast it with their image of a grassroots movement and draw a sharp line between democratic values and authoritarian aesthetics.Protests are set to take place in over 2,000 cities across all 50 U.S. states, as well as in several international locations.The protest in Philadelphia is the flagship event, given its historical significance in the War of Independence against the British Empire and King George III.New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Austin and Houston will host rallies as well as Dallas, Fort Worth, Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Kissimmee and Apopka.According to the 50501 website demonstrators are taking to the streets to fight what they say is an authoritarian Trump regime.

Protesters are gathering Saturday in hundreds of cities and towns for a "day of defiance" of the Trump administration. They have a First Amendment right to voice their criticism of the nations policies. But if the protests escalate from speech to violence, President Donald Trump has the constitutional and legal power to use troops to restore basic law and order.Anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles in the last week have put the need for decisive presidential action on full display. Television news has shown scenes of violence that seeks to obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration law. Protesters have launched riots to block and forcibly enter federal buildings, attacked federal officers, and prevented DHS agents from carrying out arrests. They have shut down freeways and blocked traffic. The riots have spread to other cities, such as Austin, Chicago, New York and Denver. Video of the mayhem on TV has shown obvious efforts to stop DHS from apprehending and removing illegal aliens under federal immigration laws.In response, President Donald Trump this week called up 2,000 California National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to Los Angeles. Rather than welcome federal assistance to restore order, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom greeted the troops with hostility. He declared the deployment "an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act" and accused President Trump of undertaking "the acts of a dictator, not a President," and dared federal authorities to arrest him.FROM RODNEY KING RIOTS TO LA TODAY: WHEN PRESIDENTS HAVE DEPLOYED TROOPS INSIDE THE USContrary to the inflammatory rhetoric of Newsom and other California officials, the initial military deployment rests well within the presidents powers. Trump declared that the mission of the military units is to "temporarily protect" federal agents in Los Angeles "and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests . . . are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations."So far, Los Angeles 2025 has not yet collapsed into the chaos of Los Angeles 1992. The administration today is not replacing the states' responsibility to maintain basic public safety. Instead, Trump is enforcing federal immigration law; in fact, the Supreme Court in Arizona v. United States(2012) has declared that only federal officials may carry out immigration law and policy.The Supreme Court has long recognized the presidential power to use the military to protect federal law enforcement officers carrying out federal law. In In re Neagle (1890), the Supreme Court upheld the use of force by a federal marshal who killed an attacker of a Supreme Court Justice. Even though no law authorized the use of force, the Court ordered the marshal freed:We hold it to be an incontrovertible principle that the government of the United States may, by means of physical force, exercised through its official agents, execute on every foot of American soil the powers and functions that belong to it. This necessarily involves the power to command obedience to its laws, and hence the power to keep the peace.Because of federal supremacy over the matters entrusted to it by the Constitution, the president has the power to protect the security of the officials who carry it out.In the face of nineteenth-century labor strife, the Supreme Court expanded Neagle to include not just the protection of federal personnel, but also their functions.JONATHAN TURLEY: DEMOCRATS' RABID ANTI-ICE RESISTANCE IN LA AGAINST TRUMP COULD BACKFIREIn 1894, union organizers and workers sought to block all trains using Pullman railcars, effectively halting all trains nationwide. President Grover Cleveland ordered U.S. troops to prevent the obstruction of trains carrying the mail. In In re Debs (1895), the Court approved these measures: "The entire strength of the nation may be used to enforce in any part of the land the full and free exercise of all national powers and the security of all rights intrusted by the constitution to its care. The federal government could use even the military, if necessary. "If the emergency arises, the army of the nation, and all its militia, are at the service of the nation, to compel obedience to its laws," Justice Brewer concluded.Congress ratified this authority in Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which authorizes the president to call the National Guard into federal service not just in cases of invasion or rebellion, but also when he "is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States." This fits within the exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally forbids the use of the military to engage in domestic law enforcement except when "expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."The presidents use of the military to protect federal personnel and facilities is defensive in nature. Force will only arise if rioters attack. But President Trump has the power to convert this mission from one of defense into actively carrying out immigration law detentions and overcoming obstruction of justice. Congress granted this authority to intervene, even without the agreement of governors, under the Insurrection Act of 1807. For the Act to apply, disorder must rise to the level of an "insurrection" that "opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws."CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONUnder this law, Dwight Eisenhower sent the armed forces into Little Rock when Arkansas Gov. Orville Faubus refused to desegregate the citys public schools. President George H.W. Bush invoked the law, at California Gov. Pete Wilsons request, to send troops to restore order in Los Angeles during the 1992 Rodney King riots. President Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act should disorder spread beyond the attacks on ICE and DHS officers and facilities to a broader collapse of law and order.Critics will suggest that there is a racial motive afoot because Trump is allegedly targeting illegal aliens, their minority communities, and blue inner-cities. But the power to protect the federal government and enforce the law is color blind. Presidents used these same authorities to desegregate southern schools in the 1950s after Brown v. Board of Education and to protect civil rights protesters in the 1960s. Congress originally banned the use of federal troops for law enforcement because of the Souths demand to end the Unions occupation after the Civil War (the end of Reconstruction is one of Washington, D.C.s greatest failures).If critics want the federal government to have the power to enforce civil rights laws against recalcitrant states, they also must concede to President Trump the power to carry out federal immigration laws.If protesters, California officials, and Democratic leaders want to change immigration policy, the answer lies not in obstructing a federal government carrying out an agenda ratified in the last election. Instead, they should rely on the tools bequeathed by the Founders: Congresss authority over funding, legislation, and oversight, the national political system, and, ultimately, elections.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JOHN YOO
