Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article's accuracy is mixed. The claim about the National Guard being called in by Donald Trump and subsequent raids sparking protests and fear is partially supported, but requires further context and verification beyond the provided snippets. The title itself suggests a significant impact on California's way of life, which is difficult to verify based on the limited information. There is a moderate bias due to the use of emotionally charged language ("relentless," "violent protests," "fear") and the focus on negative consequences.
