Trump Deploys National Guard to LA Amidst ICE Raids, Sparking Outrage

Los Angeles witnessed a significant escalation of tensions on June 10, 2025, as ICE conducted a series of raids resulting in numerous arrests. These actions, characterized by a lack of due process, sparked immediate public outcry. Adding fuel to the fire, President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles County, a move that bypassed the state governor's authority. This deployment was met with fierce opposition, with reports of tear gas and pepper spray being used against protestors. "This isn’t safety. It’s a power grab," stated the video's author, LULAC. Governor Gavin Newsom echoed concerns, labeling the situation "purposefully inflammatory." The deployment marks a significant escalation of federal intervention into local affairs. The events underscore the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policy and the delicate balance between maintaining order and protecting civil liberties.
