Protests Erupt in Los Angeles Over Immigration Raids
Protests erupted in Los Angeles following Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in heavily Latino areas, leading to violent clashes with demonstrators opposing the operations. In response, President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to enforce order, which California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned as “illegal and immoral.” The raids resulted in the arrest of 121 unauthorized immigrants, including labor union leader David Huerta, prompting further protests outside federal buildings as tensions escalated in the community.
