Protests Erupt Across US as ICE Raids Continue: CNN Reporter Detained, Police Officer Injured Los Angeles, June 10, 2025 - The fourth day of ICE raids targeting undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles sparked widespread protests, escalating into clashes with law enforcement and expanding to at least 27 other US cities. The events unfolded against a backdrop of rising tensions over immigration policy. The Attorney General reported that a man in Los Angeles threw a rock, injuring a police officer. "The violence against law enforcement officers is unacceptable," stated the Attorney General. Meanwhile, CNN correspondent Jason Carroll was briefly detained during a live report, highlighting the volatile atmosphere of the protests. The demonstrations were marked by a mix of peaceful marches and confrontations with police. In Santa Ana, California, protesters launched fireworks at law enforcement. In New York City, over 20 arrests were made near Trump Tower. The US Ambassador to Mexico, Ron Johnson, weighed in, stating, "Our flags represent national identity and values; using them while attacking US law enforcement only damages our bilateral relationship." The protests highlight the deep divisions surrounding immigration in the United States and the growing international concern over the situation.
