Trump Deploys Marines to LA Amid Violent ICE Raid Protests; Tensions Flare with Newsom
Los Angeles erupts in protests over ICE raids as President Trump sends in 700 Marines. Tensions between the Trump administration and California reach a boiling point, with the President suggesting the arrest of Governor Gavin Newsom. The protests, now in their fifth day, have seen freeway shutdowns, clashes with police, and acts of vandalism. "My message to ICE is that they need to follow the Constitution," stated Ingrid Gunnell, a protester. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell addressed the situation, stating, "There is no tolerance for criminal activity under the guise of protest." California's Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the deployment of National Guard troops. The situation remains tense, with protests continuing in other cities.
