Following widespread protests in Los Angeles against federal immigration raids, President Trump activated 2,000 National Guard troops to assist local law enforcement. While protests reacted to ICE operations leading to arrests, clashes erupted between demonstrators and police. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the move as unnecessary and claimed there was no widespread violence. The situation is tense, with federal agencies on high alert amid heightened immigration enforcement under Trump's administration, prompting concerns over public safety and civil rights amid political tensions.
Some of the demonstrations, which came in response to a spate of immigration sweeps in Los Angeles late last week, escalated into clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement officers.
Trump has ramped up immigration enforcement in his second term after running on a promise to conduct mass deportations.
