Judge Rules Trump’s L.A. Guard Deployment Illegal, Israel Calls Up Reservists, L.A. Football Scandal, OpenAI Lawsuit

A federal judge ruled President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles was illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. Israel mobilized 60,000 reservists as its Gaza offensive escalated, sparking protests and warnings from aid groups. In Los Angeles, a football booster admitted paying families to transfer athletes, while California faces triple-digit heat, lightning, and rising wildfire risk. In business, OpenAI was sued after parents alleged ChatGPT gave their son suicide instructions, and the U.S. suspended the “de minimis” exemption on cheap imports, raising costs for online shoppers and challenging retailers like Shein and Temu.
