Professor Shahram Akbarzadeh from Deakin University's Middle East Studies Forum says the US is 'hostage' to Israeli actions under their staunch alliance, with the Trump administration obliged to come to Israel's defence in an escalating conflict with Iran.

Israel launched the strikes on what is says were military and nuclear targets in Iran despite warnings of "massive conflict" from Donald Trump. The US President said he was urging Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off from taking action while the administration negotiated with Iran.

Across America, protests against Donald Trump’s immigration raids are popping up, a week since the unrest in Los Angeles began. 

Protesters are incensed that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue to enter workplaces to round up undocumented immigrants. 

But it’s Donald Trump’s decision to send California National Guard troops and Marines to LA to protect federal agents and property that’s really causing a stir. 

Today, Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University, on why it’s an authoritarian move Trump has long wanted to take and the risks of normalising troops on the streets.
