‘You Will NOT Succeed…’ U.S Press Secretary’s BLASTS ‘Illegal Alliens’ | LA Riots | Anti-ICE Protest

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.” #TrumpPressBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #NoKingsDay #FoxNews #AlexandriaHoff #TrumpMilitaryParade #WhiteHouseDrama #ICEProtests #AmericanFlag #KingTrump #PoliticalSatire #FirstAmendment #MediaFireworks #WashingtonProtests #ReporterVsPressSec #FreePress #ConstitutionalDebate #TrumpBirthdayEvent #RightToProtest #USPolitics #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

As Los Angeles erupts in chaos over Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown, the White House has deployed 700 U.S. Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops to the city — all without California Governor Gavin Newsom’s consent. The dramatic military surge, aimed at quelling violent protests and protecting federal property, has ignited a fierce legal and political battle.

U.S. DEFENDS Israel Over Gaza Aid Shooting That Killed 27 | Leavitt Blasts BBC's ‘FAKE’ Rafah Report

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the BBC for its reporting on an alleged Israeli tank strike near an aid center in Rafah. Leavitt accused the outlet of relying too heavily on Hamas claims and pointed to several changing headlines as evidence of misinformation. The administration says it is verifying facts independently, suggesting the BBC prematurely blamed Israel. The clash reignites debates over media credibility, Middle East coverage, and the challenge of reporting from conflict zones. #WhiteHouse #KarolineLeavitt #BBCNews #Rafah #GazaCrisis #MediaBias #Israel #Hamas #MiddleEast #PressBriefing #FakeNews #IsraelGaza #AidIncident #ConflictReporting #USPolitics #MediaWatch #HeadlineControversy #BBCvsWhiteHouse #GazaStrip #NewsEthics #Misinformation #InternationalNews #BreakingNews #BBCBacklash #IsraelPalestine #WarCoverage #PressFreedom #FactCheck #JournalismEthics #MediaAccountability Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
