Los Angeles Immigration Protests: Peaceful Demonstrations and Political Firestorm

Los Angeles witnesses the fourth day of intense protests against immigration raids, marked by both peaceful demonstrations and acts of vandalism. Demonstrators voiced their anger, demanding the release of a detained labor leader, David Huerta. "Why is immigration doing what it's doing?" asked one protester, highlighting the perceived injustice. The situation escalated into a political conflict between President Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom criticized the president's deployment of National Guard troops, stating, "These guys need to grow up, they need to stop, and we need to push back." President Trump defended his actions, suggesting that without the raids, "that place would be burning down." Amidst the tension, the city of Glendale ended its agreement with ICE to house detainees. The events highlight the deep divisions within the country on immigration issues.
