In response to recent ICE immigration sweeps, thousands of Los Angeles residents have protested, leading to federal intervention by President Trump. The National Guard and Marines were deployed amid claims from local leaders that the Trump administration is provoking unrest. Throughout the chaos, local food vendors and restaurants have stepped up to assist both protesters and law enforcement, providing food and medical aid during tear gas incidents. As tensions rise, some establishments have temporarily closed for safety amid the protests and police activity.
Cinthia Soriao, Edgar Hernandez, and Sesarin Hernandez poured milk into the eyes of protesters battling tear gas, demonstrating the solidarity between vendors and demonstrators.
LA Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Newsom claim the Trump Administration has intentionally provoked the recent unrest to escalate tensions in the community.
