In Los Angeles, protests targeting the federal building heightened following aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Amidst this, a young protester, SMO, spray-painted a Jefferson quote to inspire resistance against oppression. He believed the message was more impactful than typical graffiti. While these protests are significant, they occur within a vast city where daily life continues largely unaffected. The demonstrations represent heightened tensions against Trump's policies, showcasing the diverse reactions and perspectives surrounding the protests and highlighting a historical context of resistance.
"I needed a better message that would inspire more people to remember that our history as Americans is deeply rooted in being resistant to the ones who oppress us."
"The protests here have been the most intense demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his policies since he retook office."
