Los Angeles Erupts in Protest After ICE Raids

Los Angeles erupts in protests following ICE raids. On June 9th, 2025, ICE conducted raids in Los Angeles, detaining at least 44 people, sparking widespread outrage and protests. Many of those detained were reportedly arrested without warrants, further fueling the anger of demonstrators. "This is an outrage! They're arresting people without any due process," shouted one protester amidst the throngs of people marching down the streets. The federal government's response involved deploying 2,000 National Guard troops without coordination with local authorities, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from local leaders. The protests quickly escalated, with clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement resulting in the use of tear gas and rubber bullets. Local officials are now considering legal action against the federal government's actions. The events highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policy and law enforcement practices in the United States.
