Excerpt: James M. Branum, an attorney who works with the Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild, said that, in recent weeks, the task force has received two to three times more than the usual volume of referrals and direct calls. The upward trend began after Trump came into office, with people calling about the war in Gaza and increased military deployment to the U.S. southern border — but calls spiked after troops were sent to Los Angeles, he said.
“A lot of these folks joined because they want to fight who they see as the terrorists,” Branum said. “They want to fight enemies of the United States … they never envisioned they would be deployed to the streets of the United States.”

"Kevin Takumi, a videographer and photographer for Fox’s #LosAngeles affiliate, posted aerial video on X showing several vans and SUVs, and apparent #immigration officers, around entrances to the stadium.
“ICE agents are taking up positions at the entrances to #DodgerStadium, media and crowd beginning to arrive,” Takumi wrote.
[...] the #Dodgers beat writer for the #LATimes, said on X: “Regarding the photos going around on social media this morning about #ICE agents at Dodger Stadium: sources say ICE agents tried to access Dodger Stadium today, but were denied entry to the grounds by the team.”"

Federal agents denied entry to Dodger Stadium parking lot, sparking new outrage over #Trump sweeps

"In photos posted on social media Thursday, a procession of vehicles appeared to attempt to enter #DodgerStadium through the ballpark’s main Sunset Gate off Vin Scully Avenue around 8 a.m. However, they were prevented from passing through a security checkpoint leading to the parking lot.
The caravan then relocated to the stadium’s Downtown Gate near the 110 Freeway. Dozens of vehicles gathered outside a closed parking lot fence, according to witnesses, before many began dispersing.
Later in the morning, several dozen protesters gathered near what remained of the agents, who stood around three unmarked SUVs closer to the stadium’s entry gates but still outside the stadium parking lot."

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party
The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform
These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes
Hope that helps

A lot of things have changed, mostly for the worst, between the first and second Trump presidency. For example, during our first dance with assclown fascism under Downmarket Mussolini, American corporate media made a massive show of "opposing" Trump; despite the fact that I (and many other observers) pointed out that their coverage of the administration typically benefitted the regime more often than it hurt them, and the class solidarity inherent to corporate media outlets often resulted in them covering up for the wealthy donors and supporters that propped up Trump's administration until the precise moment it became clear he wasn't going to win a second term in 2020. The story has been quite different here in the second Trump era however; as this Guardian article notes, despite Trump's threats and smears towards the media, corporate outlets like WaPo, LA Times, and now CBS have willingly collaborated with Trump's fascist regime and agenda. What changed? As it turns out, the whims and financial motivations of billionaire reactionaries who own corporate media companies.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/trump-media-journalists-60-minutes
Trump complains the US media aren’t bending to his will. Aren’t they?
"Despite that acquiescence, Trump has continued to threaten journalists, branding pollsters “negative criminals” who “should be investigated for election fraud”. In April, he attacked “radical lunatic Democrats and their comrades in the fake news media”, adding: “Those lying to the American People on behalf of violent criminals have to be held responsible by the Agencies and the Courts.”
The attacks overlook the ways in which some outlets have submitted to Trump’s will – either by executives settling frivolous lawsuits or wealthy owners interfering to avoid upsetting Trump.
Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post owner, ordered an overhaul to the paper’s editorial pages in February that effectively muzzled the newspaper’s criticism of Trump. The Los Angeles Times dropped its endorsement of Kamala Harris under pressure from Patrick Soon-Shiong, its billionaire owner.
In December, ABC News settled a Trump lawsuit, in a move first amendment experts said could foster more attacks on the media. And in another blow, the owner of CBS News is said to be considering settling a $10bn lawsuit brought against the network over the editing of a Kamala Harris interview."
Folks, this is a story about greed and cowardice and that's not just my opinion. Trump isn't right, and the activities he's undertaking to cow the American media, be they government investigations or frivolous lawsuits, have no basis in the law. If folks like Jeff Bezos, Patrick Soon-Shiong, and Shari Redstone wanted to fight this, they'd win. Since surrendering and collaborating is more profitable to these billionaire leeches however, they're directing their media companies to roll over. Furthermore, the cost of this collaboration with fascism goes far beyond the mitigation of Trump criticism in our media environment; with billionaire media barons kissing his ring, and corporate outlets scrambling to settle his obscenely conspiratorial lawsuits based on open lies, the Kelpto Kaiser will now argue that he's been right about the media all along and that justifies further cracking down on the so-called "free press" in America. Collaborating with fascism, will merely breed more fascism; not that any of these rich reactionaries who own media companies seem to give a shit at all.
As someone who engages in a lot of media criticism and analysis, I can't say any of this is surprising to me; if anything, corporate media's outward posture of hostility towards Trump at points during his first administration is the historical aberration here. For profit media in America has always consistently sided with power and the state; after all the same class of people who own corporate media companies, also own most of the country. Just because we can easily predict class solidarity and billionaire ownership rolling over for fascism however, doesn't change the horrifying reality of what's going on here; nobody is handing out Pulitzer's here, but both WaPo and the LA Times did some excellent critical reporting during the first Trump regime and have been nowhere as effective here in Der Leader's second term. This is a big win for the Kelpto Kaiser; which makes it a devastating loss for all of us who don't want the fascists to win.

How much have Trump’s oligarch supporters lost since his inauguration… 😏
The Los Angeles Times faces financial challenges, losing $50 million in 2024 and $30 million in 2023 due to a decline in paying subscribers and advertisers. Owner Soon-Shiong’s decisions, such as revoking the paper’s presidential endorsement and implementing a bias meter, led to 23,000 digital subscriber departures. The Times has resorted to buyouts, budget cuts, and layoffs, while Netflix has halted advertising due to concerns about changes under Soon-Shiong.
