LA Erupts: Anti-ICE Protests Turn Violent as Trump Deploys National Guard
Los Angeles: Anti-ICE protests enter fourth night amid heightened tensions. The city saw a fourth consecutive night of demonstrations against recent immigration raids. The situation escalated with President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and Marines, leading to confrontations between protestors and law enforcement. 'All these people come here with love, and all the people standing over there with hate,' said Jade Lynn, a demonstrator. The Los Angeles Police Department declared a tactical alert as darkness approached, deploying riot gear and flash-bangs to control the crowds. Despite the heightened tensions, the LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell emphasized their support for peaceful protests while warning of arrests for those inciting violence or engaging in vandalism.
