• DOD social media account posted attack on press — Secretary of Defense Hegseth hired a right-wing social media influencer to run the official Department of Defense social media account. The account posted a screenshot of Trump's praise for Hegseth's press conference with the caption: "SecDef just called out the Fake News: 'I mean specifically you, the press core, because you cheer against Trump so hard…'" The post used the official DOD account to amplify attacks on the press and promote partisan messaging.

• Trump administration escalates ICE raids across Los Angeles region, causing widespread community fear and economic disruption — Over a two-week period beginning in early June 2025, the Trump administration intensified immigration enforcement operations across Los Angeles and Southern California, conducting aggressive raids at workplaces including clothing warehouses, car washes, and day-labor sites. Federal agents arrested dozens of immigrants, including multiple family members in single incidents. The raids prompted the administration to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to suppress resulting protests. Communities responded by self-isolating; businesses closed, street vendors stopped working, and residents avoided public spaces out of fear of arrest.
• National Guard deployment to suppress immigration enforcement protests — The Trump administration mobilized thousands of National Guard troops to suppress large-scale public protests against immigration raids.
