Protests erupted in Downtown Los Angeles following ICE immigration raids, leading to a city-wide emergency declared by Mayor Karen Bass to curtail violence and looting. Tensions escalated as President Trump ordered the deployment of National Guard troops without approval from Governor Gavin Newsom, who condemned it as an abuse of power. The raids, targeting various sites in the city, resulted in 44 arrests and incited significant public unrest, with labor leaders like SEIU's David Huerta arrested during protests aimed at opposing the immigration enforcement actions.
The escalating tensions between state and federal authorities in Los Angeles have been rooted in the ICE immigration raids, which incited widespread protests and civil unrest.
Former President Trump’s deployment of military forces in response to protests drew sharp criticism from local officials, who saw it as a violation of state rights.
