LA Erupts in Protest: Trump's Immigration Crackdown Sparks Fierce Demonstrations

Los Angeles erupts in mass protests following President Trump's immigration crackdown. Thousands took to the streets on Friday and Saturday to demonstrate against the aggressive immigration enforcement measures. The Trump administration deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to quell the unrest, using tear gas to disperse the crowds. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “The Trump Administration has a zero-tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence…These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice.” The protests followed a sweeping immigration campaign that included the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador. While the administration defends its actions as necessary to maintain law and order, critics argue the measures are inhumane and disproportionate. The situation highlights the deep divisions within the United States over immigration policy and the ongoing tension between federal and state governments.
