Analysis Summary:

The article's accuracy is mixed due to the lack of specific verification sources. The core claim that Noem asked Hegseth to direct troops to arrest rioters seems plausible given the context of the time (protests in LA), but the details of the DHS secretary's request exceeding Trump's authorities is difficult to verify without sources. The title and snippet suggest a moderate bias by framing Noem's actions in a potentially negative light.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim 1: Noem asks Hegseth to direct troops to "arrest rioters" in Los Angeles.** This claim is plausible given the context of protests occurring in Los Angeles at the time. However, without verification sources, it's impossible to confirm the specifics of the request or the exact wording used. *Verification Source: None* (Internal Knowledge: Plausible given the context of the time).
• Claim 2: The DHS secretary's request would exceed authorities invoked by President Trump when he deployed the National Guard to LA.** This claim is more difficult to verify without specific details about the DHS secretary's request and the extent of Trump's deployment authorities. The claim implies that Noem's request was unusual or excessive. *Verification Source: None* (Internal Knowledge: Requires specific legal and operational knowledge to verify).

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Claim 1:** Lacking specific sources, I can only rely on general knowledge of the time period. There were widespread protests in Los Angeles, and it is not implausible that a governor might request assistance. *Verification Source: None*
• Claim 2:** Without sources, it is impossible to determine if the DHS secretary's request exceeded Trump's authorities. This claim requires specific legal and operational knowledge. *Verification Source: None*
