Veterans, including Jesse Ugalde from the Vietnam War, expressed concerns over severe cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) caused by the Trump administration's efforts to reduce federal government size. Ugalde joined hundreds in a protest against these cuts in Westwood, emphasizing the need for essential services. Representative Maxine Waters rallied the crowd against perceived constitutional violations from cuts enforced by President Trump and Elon Musk's advisory team, which aimed to enhance government efficiency through significant staff and spending reductions, warning against risks to America’s stability.
"Already, people are leaving. I was told that they're going to try to provide services, but it's going to take longer."
"We are here because we are not going to let Trump, we're not going to let Elon Musk, his co-president, or anybody else take the United States Constitution down."
