LA Erupts: Violent Clashes and National Guard Deployment Amid Immigration Protests
Los Angeles erupts in protests over Trump's immigration policies. Demonstrations against President Trump's stricter immigration enforcement led to violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement in Los Angeles on Sunday. Videos and eyewitness accounts show the deployment of the National Guard as protests intensified. "That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions," said California Governor Gavin Newsom, criticizing the federal response. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated she was "deeply angered" by the situation. The Department of Homeland Security reported that 118 undocumented immigrants were arrested during the week in Los Angeles. The incident highlights the deep divisions over immigration policy and the potential for escalation when such policies are implemented.
