In June 2020, protests erupted in Los Angeles following ICE raids in the garment district, largely remaining peaceful yet marked by instances of looting and vandalism. In response to escalating tensions, President Trump deployed an additional 4,000 National Guard troops, increasing the military presence opposed by local officials. The protests concentrated mainly in downtown and surrounding areas, while most of Los Angeles continued to function normally. Travelers are advised to avoid protest zones and stay updated on local conditions, with future planned protests targeting governmental immigration policies.
The protests in Los Angeles primarily focus on immigration policies, with a significant law enforcement presence and aggressive tactics in response to some looting.
Despite vocal opposition from local leaders, President Trump dispatched additional National Guard and Marine troops to the area, amplifying tensions amid ongoing protests.
