LA Erupts in Protest: Trump Deploys National Guard Amid Immigration Raid Fallout

Los Angeles erupts in protests following immigration raids. Mass demonstrations against recent immigration raids in Los Angeles have turned violent, resulting in widespread property damage and clashes with law enforcement. Dozens of arrests have been made, and several officers sustained minor injuries. President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to quell the unrest, a decision that has drawn sharp criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called it a violation of state authority. "We're not going to let this happen to our country," President Trump stated in a press conference shown in the video. The protests, largely concentrated in the Latino community, highlight the deep-seated anger and frustration over the immigration raids. Video footage shows protesters setting fire to vehicles, vandalizing police cars, and blocking a major motorway. The situation remains tense, with a large police presence maintaining order. The deployment of the National Guard is a significant escalation of the situation and raises concerns about the balance of power between federal and state authorities.
