Los Angeles Riots Erupt Amidst Anti-Trump Protests Los Angeles, CA - June 11, 2025 - Protests against former President Donald Trump's immigration policies in Los Angeles escalated into violent riots on June 11, 2025. The unrest, which began as a demonstration against Trump's crackdown on undocumented immigrants, quickly spiraled out of control. Videos circulating online show widespread property damage, clashes between protesters and law enforcement, and the burning of several vehicles. The events prompted a swift response from authorities, including the deployment of National Guard troops to quell the violence. A curfew was imposed on a large section of downtown Los Angeles. "It was terrifying," said one resident who witnessed the events unfold. "I've never seen anything like it in Los Angeles before." Trump responded to the events with a speech, calling the protesters a "vicious and violent mob." He defended his immigration policies and praised the actions of law enforcement. The protests and subsequent riots highlight the deep divisions within American society regarding immigration policy. The scale of the unrest and the costs associated with restoring order raise questions about the effectiveness of the government's response. The situation remains tense in Los Angeles as authorities work to restore peace and rebuild the affected areas.
