LA Erupts in Protests After Immigration Raids: Clashes, National Guard Deployment, and a Burning Car

Los Angeles erupted in protests this weekend, sparked by a series of immigration raids conducted by federal agents. Demonstrations began Friday afternoon, escalating into violent clashes with law enforcement. Footage shows police using rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds. President Trump responded by deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to the city. The unrest spread to Paramount, California on Saturday, where a car was set on fire amidst further confrontations. One protester, a veteran, stated, "My husband's a soldier overseas, and I'm a veteran, so this angers me." The deployment of the National Guard has sparked tension with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who criticized the move as inflammatory. The situation remains tense as authorities attempt to restore order.
