Breaking Through the Noise: Protests, Power, & States' Rights

Politics doesn't have to be a battlefield.

In June 2025, protests erupted in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement. Federal troops arrived without the governor’s request. Americans were faced with a foundational question: Who really holds the power: states or the federal government?

In this clear, conversational breakdown of one of the most contentious flashpoints in modern American politics, author Carson Jennings explores the federal versus state authority debate through the lens of the 2025 L.A. protests. This short book offers:

• A factual overview of what happened and how media shaped the narrative
• A look at how conservatives and progressives each view the federal role in times of crisis
• Key similarities and critical differences between ideological perspectives
• Thoughtful questions to help readers engage in productive, real-world conversations

Whether you lean red, blue, or don’t feel at home in either camp, Breaking Through the Noise: Protests, Power, & States' Rights cuts through the outrage to offer context, clarity, and common ground.

It’s not about taking sides. It’s about understanding them.
