The claim departs from the passage: the post says Trump invaded LA with federal troops "last June", which from the October 2026 posting date means June 2025, but the extracted claim says June 2026.
What was said
… He went to war with Iran, and he basically said it's okay, that it's a small price to pay to attack 3.8 million people in a nation's second largest city. I was horrified by those comments, but then again, we are the city that he invaded last June with federal troops for no reason at all, to intimidate a whole sector of our population, Latino." So there you go. I mean, this is, this is panic porn. If you go from zero to ten, ten being maximum panic porn, they're now at eleven. They're now at 11. This is criminal. …
The Kuhner Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Multiple sources date the Los Angeles federal troop and National Guard deployment to June 2025, including reporting on the June 7, 2025 memo and the June 2025 Marine deployment.[1][2][4][5]
Context. A 9th Circuit ruling of October 23, 2026 held that Trump's deployment of California National Guard troops to Los Angeles was unlawful, and describes the deployment as occurring "last year", meaning 2025.[4][6][7][8]
Context. Sources report that federalized Guard troops had already left Los Angeles by late 2025, so no source reports a June 2026 deployment.[3][9]
Context. The post's "last June" resolves to June 2025 from its October 7, 2026 posting date, so the extraction's year is an addition the passage does not make.
