Protests against ICE immigration raids that began in Los Angeles on June 6 have escalated, expanding to multiple cities across the United States. The raids led to the arrest of 44 individuals and sparked immediate public outcry, compelling rallies and demonstrations. In response to the protests, President Trump deployed National Guard troops, with California's governor opposing this decision legally. As tensions rise, additional military personnel are expected to assist in California, where a federal court is set to address the legality of these deployments amid a national atmosphere of dissent directed at immigration policies.
Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, which began on June 6 in Los Angeles, have spread beyond the California city, across the United States. This comes days before a military parade scheduled on Saturday in Washington, DC, which marks the US Army's 250th anniversary. More protests across the US are scheduled on Saturday.
ICE carried out immigration enforcement raids in LA, in which uniformed ICE agents arrived at various sites in LA in groups of unmarked vehicles, arresting 44 people in a military-style operation. This operation triggered protests in LA the same day.
US President Donald Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops into the city on June 8, a move condemned as an illegal takeover by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who then filed a lawsuit to try to prevent their deployment.
The marines are now expected to join the National Guard troops on the streets of LA on Friday. However, as of Wednesday, they had still not completed training.
